Is the Refresh Plan still in operation? I thought I saw a post from them on the Route KS Blog showing the final refresh a few months ago?

Max on another level again - are we sure that the two Red Bull cars are the same?… Good pace by Lando making the 1 stop work better than Ferrari. Aston Martin made a poor strategy call for Alonso, solid if uninspiring performances by Mercedes. Unlucky for Bottas after his best performance of...

The most exciting session of the season so far by far! Let’s hope the sprint is a fight with full-on racing and overtaking with elbows out.

There is a Lap of the World video on YouTube on this subject -

I’d still lean towards Haas.

Easy win for Max & 2nd for Perez - good race pace from Ferrari, with Carlos winning out on strategy over Charles, who improved a lot on his grid position. Mixed for the McLaren drivers - less bad for Lando than Oscar. Good pace from Alonso and a better finish for George than for Lewis, who...

A great video with lots of reflection on the aims, reasoning and thinking behind our cars from the generation that are (mostly) now retired. This highlights the combination of a golden age of innovation and implementation before the butt-dyno was overridden by hindering algorithms, and the...

Perfect performance from Carlos and for once Ferrari didn’t implode - have they finally turned the corner? Impressive from McLaren. Perez was quick for a while, then went nowhere. Disappointing again from Mercedes. Ok from Aston Martin and Yuki. Were there more than half a dozen proper...

I think black Recaros work best with MCBP, but you are your own man, and I might be biased.

^JDM is much more complicated, as there were build to order (custom) factory options for all variants from all but the earliest cars…

^ Maybe is the technically correct answer, as it would be an NA2, not an NA1 with the C32B. An AT NSX-T will always be an NA1, as all AT NSX use the C30A engine, even in 2005. The change to using the C32B was made in February 1997, so you could have a January 1997 manual NA1 NSX-T, but I doubt...

Another dull procession - only the safety car resultant from Stroll’s crash to break the boredom. Good overtakes by Albon, but not a lot else happened. Bearman kept his head and pace. Haas engineered a point for Hulkenberg by dubious tactics deploying their other driver as a mobile road block...

Well that was dull - Max not challenged after the first 3 seconds, the rest just driving around to greater or lesser degrees of bland ok-ness. No incidents after the first corner, just a procession. Here’s hoping that this was a one-off, and that racing starts next week.

^ another difference between the JDM Type S and the North American Zanardi Edition

Lookin’ good - can’t tell from your pictures, but as you have deleted the front fog lights, have you ordered the stone shields that fill the two holes in the lower bumper in front of the aircon radiators? I thought I had the part number to hand, but can’t find it right now.
