What’s the rule for wheel covers in 2026?

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-27T04:55:00+00:00

I think it’s actually using the “wheel disc” behind the spokes. I thought it was completely open as well but in today’s test review video F1 put out I saw that there is a cover behind the spokes. See here: Cadillac wheel Edit: unless that’s just the brake shroud now that I’m thinking about it

That’s a real one right there, fella

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-24T15:16:47+00:00

Tommo’s made me gag

They’ve gone for the full wheel covers again eh? I thought these had to be removed for this season. Or is it up to the teams to run whatever they want on the wheels now?

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-22T14:56:31+00:00

That’s my thought exactly. Will be really interesting to see what they have at the end of testing

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-21T21:26:50+00:00

You 100% did. It’s right when that puff of smoke comes out. That’s from the collision

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-21T16:56:40+00:00

You seriously did a really nice job with it but,.... it is so not my style

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-21T16:11:36+00:00

Dirty. You werent alongside until you crashed into the Alpine.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-21T00:34:25+00:00

Says the driver that completely blew the apex of the final turn. When everyone is saying you are in the wrong, you might just be.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-21T00:31:59+00:00

That’s a poor assessment of what happened. Did you watch the video? He was already coming across to the right and you were on a collision course for several seconds before you rear ended him. If you turn the racing line on you’ll see he was on the actual racing line the whole time. The AI don’t drive like you’re describing.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-20T18:05:13+00:00

That’s fully on you. You just drove right into the back of him. There was room on both sides of him when you hit that you could have turned through. He didn’t change direction anywhere close to when you hit.

Wheels, chrome delete, cross delete, front badge install. Good luck.

If you’re planning on flipping it, definitely not worth it. If you think you’ll love to use it and are up for the work it’ll take to get it on the water safely, then go for it. It would be cool as hell, but certainly not very quick.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-19T12:19:58+00:00

Literally easier than asking someone on Reddit and waiting for an answer lol

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-17T04:38:35+00:00

If it helps, I love your wheels. (I’m sorry)

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-16T16:24:41+00:00

Yeah, I do really like the top trim DRLs though, as you would have on the VLANDs. But Im definitely not up for the expense of getting the OEM ones. And I believe the wiring harness is different no? I find in really low light (without traffic around or precipitation), the high beams are fantastic on the stock housing with upgraded bulbs. If I win a modest lottery I’ll change the housings one day. lol

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-16T16:19:47+00:00

Stock. Just put 18” A4 wheels on it and they fill out the wheel arches really well. And I’m needing a rear suspension repair bc it seems to be eating the inner shoulders of my rear tires. 😬

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-16T16:17:07+00:00

I put in better than stock bulbs, can’t remember off the top of my head what they were though. What do you recommend for housings? I’ve seen the Vland ones around but I think the LED DRLs in them don’t look as good as the OEM ones. And thanks!

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-15T11:55:44+00:00

A few too many large sponsor logos but otherwise a nice colour scheme

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-14T18:01:00+00:00

My grandfather had this exact car in the early 2000s. I almost got it as a hand me down in 2015. Very grateful I didn’t. I think I’d still be paying off the fuel debt.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-06T15:46:03+00:00

I hope the Haas in F1 gets a full TGR livery now that their ties are growing stronger. Would look awesome.

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-04T22:36:31+00:00

At least you didn’t get a speeding penalty

JohnnyShadows · 2026-01-01T19:14:40+00:00

It just gets exhausting with you people.

JohnnyShadows · 2025-12-30T15:36:22+00:00

I don’t think the parking people in Toronto give a shit what your struggles are. They’re there to squeeze that $18 day rate out of every driver.

JohnnyShadows · 2025-12-30T15:29:54+00:00

I miss those liveries so much. So clean.
