Watch a replay of his win in Monaco. Daniel was known as the "last of the late brakers" due to his finesse and feel with the car that let him out-brake opponents and gain positions in non-traditional passing areas.
He left Redbull because the writing was on the wall that he would always be #2...
You only get one chance to drive your new car off the dealer lot.
I do video production as a hobby. I spend far too long trying to decide which music goes with a product or moment.
What song perfectly captures that moment of driving the car for the first time?
Just like a wrestling or boxing...
Here in BC I have five options for plates aside from the default white one.
Unfortunately in BC they only let you choose a vanity plate on the first (1990's era) background.
I'd love the middle BC Parks one on my Strat Blue Supra, but it's not an option unless I go with a default tag.
I...
I agree with you. Ferrari was managing the speed by giving Sainz the target delta throughout the race. It was Ferrari strategy to back up the field which discouraged the undercut - other teams would end up in traffic.
But I think using Lando as a surrogate teammate was a genius play by Carlos...
Ferrari has made a habit of throwing races away with poor decisions. This was not one of those races. Brilliant race management from the outset and great gamesmanship by Carlos to use Lando as a rolling roadblock for the surging Mercedes.
I'm a big fan of LN; I'm thrilled to see him with...
I'm hoping my car will arrive this week. I plan to follow the break-in period as prescribed by the BMWToyota manual. I did the same with my Evo and never had any engine or drivetrain issues.
My takeaway from this thread is that engine break-in is like any other risky behaviour; you can spend...
No grid penalty.
With Verstappen set to start P11 – the stewards having investigated three incidents of impeding relating to the Dutchman, and handing Verstappen a pair of reprimands, along with a €5,000 fine for Red Bull – Verstappen was then asked what sort of progress he felt he could make...
I've been a Lando fan since his rookie year. Nice to see him in a quick car again.
I think Sainz, Russel, and Norris are all in good form. Alonso always seems to over-perform but I'm not sure the Aston is quick enough for him to pull out a podium.
In previous years Max would have gone full...
Months ago I was hoping to import a RHD Mk4 from Japan.
This was one of the cars available. Maybe the owner sold it and moved on to the Batman Mk5 project?
Friends of mine bought one recently and I looked up the specs. Holy hell.
The guy is the adrenaline junkie type but his wife is definitely not. She accidentally pushed the GT button and saw God. Their last car was a Volvo station wagon.
I'm incredibly impressed with the acceleration of EV's...
Heya Neighbour. I'm just up-island. Courtenay Toyota has also been really good to deal with. I think Toyota in general has the right attitude to gaining and keeping customers. My car has also been a while coming, but ETA is close enough that I check the lot every time I go by.
Hope to see...
Not taking anything away from your plans, but I recommend driving the car stock for a little while to see where it's 'good enough' and what aspects you want to upgrade. It's going to depend a lot on your goals for the car.
Every time I read a thread like this I wonder how Harleys get away with their obnoxiously loud exhausts from a 1000cc engine. I routinely hear bikes screaming or pickups with 6" exhausts ripping up the highway near me, but somehow a 3L with straight pipes is the end of society as we know it...
Hey all. I see tons of videos and posts suggesting mods or add-ons for this car.
What I rarely see are posts about purchases or modifications that people regret doing. Maybe a mod that turned out to be less awesome than expected.
So far I have a little pile of goodies waiting for my car, but...
Congrats on getting your MT! I'm within a couple weeks of my ETA so I'm obsessively checking forums to keep myself busy.
Interesting that you say the Supra is a fun car but not a fast car.
In my world there are quick cars and there are fast cars. Quickness comes from acceleration in the first...
