    Worth paying more for an Audi over a Skoda?

    With the b9 the 2.0l ea888 gen 3 engine has some differences between the outputs, the 190ps has the 'B' cycle with dual injectors per cylinder. The 252ps version as far as I understand doesn't have these. Both have a chain driven camshaft...

    I guess it makes sense to have a German in a German team? Not sure though how well known he is in his home country.

    Best video doorbell....

    I've found Reolink support the be very good, quick response with any opened support tickets, like in less than a hour sometimes. Willing to replace any faulty camera within the warranty period,

    Worth paying more for an Audi over a Skoda?

    Whilst they might share components the interior of the Octavia isn't as nice a place to sit in. Whereas the A4 B9 is vastly more premium. I'd get the 2.0tfsi version as it is far better than a 1.4/1.5 versions...

    I actually wasn't referring to that part of the post but the speculation that somehow Lewis 'knew' something.. However most of the media I've read states ""senior figures close to Newey have been telling me. He has communicated informally with some senior Red Bull figures that he would like to...

    You couldn't make it up, oh someone just did. Allegations, not antics. Still Andrian was really only part time and was working on alternative projects, which he might be happy to still do in semi retirement. However it's all guesswork... The only individual who has been suspended has now been...

    Official 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread - Shanghai International Circuit - Race 5/24

    Unfortunately my comment seems to have been taken completely out of context and turned into a George versus Lewis peeing contest. To clarify, and I'm stating a observation, clearly this year George seems to be more comfortable with the setup of his car and seems to be complaining less about it...

    As there are 10 teams in F1 then I guess the majority would need to be six on paper, unless if the voting is split then perhaps they've a way to resolve it somehow.

    Why do you think Red Bull wouldn't back it, I can't see how it would affect them in a negative way.. Also Autosport are saying only five teams are required https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1s-new-points-system-looks-on-course-to-get-support-it-needs/10602004/

    Those were the days when Mercedes engines were the most powerful, and their customer engines weren't. Until the FIA changed the rules and Mercedes had to supply customers with the same engines and weren't allowed to have their magic mappings, or controlled from the pit lane. It goes to show...

    For him maybe, however George doesn't appear to be having quite the same issues and seems to be able to cope better. The issue Mercedes is still having is that there is no correlation between what they are seeing on the simulator, or in the wind tunnel, then being translated to the track.

    Remapping worth it?

    A remap, or even today's tuning boxes, can improve over a factory stock tuning making the engine power and torque delivery more broadly spread over the rpm range. It isn't always just about performance..

    When are you going fully electric?

    Fair enough and you are entitled to your opinion and I've driven worse cars. It's not a bad car however for something costing nearly £50k new, if I spec similar options that my BMW has got, it is an indecent amount for just a Skoda. Skoda aren't offering much in the way of incentives either. I...

    Quite right, how anyone could state ALL his WC achievements are tainted beggers belief and truly demonstrates they are not at all a proper F1 fan, just a sad Red Bull Hater. Any driver and team who manages to wins a race, let alone a WC, deserves every credit and proper F1 pundits, those with...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Skoda updated the software for all pre my2024 cars as well over the air anyway. I also had a drive in one the other week, an 80 sportline. It was OK but boring, zero driver enjoyment and involvement but a nice enough car to look at from all the other suv boxes that infest our roads these days...
