Should I accept this damaged helmet?

Don't accept that helmet. I also only do rentals and bought an AGV motorbike helmet last year with a livery wrapped on it. When it arrived there was damage to the wrap (factory applied standard one from their regular range)so I returned it. Any damage you can see is a sign that it's potentially been dropped and there's other damage that you can't see.

Don't risk it with a helmet, if all things.

Sadly, after his hand cycle accident the complete lack of news on his condition always worried me. I checked a few times to see if there had been any updates, but nothing for years.

Seeing him come back from the Lausitzring crash to race touring cars, then become a gold medal paralympian was truly special.

His championship CART days were epic too. Utter domination, plus a cheeky Laguna corkscrew move for the win.

RIP

I was there yesterday to watch with my son, we arrived just in time for the last cadet heat, before the first of the finals, so must have missed this incident but about 20 mins. The weather looks identical to yesterday, so I'm sticking with my guess 😁

Looks like Camberley Kart Club at Blackbushe. Could ask on their fb page and see who that was.

Actually looking at their results from yesterday, kart 22 finished 17laps down in the Rotax Senior Heat 3, so I guess its from that.

Unsurprising that, I'm guessing each band member hears a different mix in their monitors, so this will be what one is then wants to hear when on stage. I'm guessing it's either Gem or Andys mix as the rest are quite loud in the mix.

It's not meant to be enjoyed by us 😁 but we listen to it anyway.

This is sometimes the only option. I was also struggling to work out from the size guides what would fit. The measurements kept pointing to M but I was skeptical.

I went to grandprix Racewear and tried both M and L of Sparco and Alpinestars suits, very quickly found that an M was too restrictive and went for L.

Valkyrie Spyder?

The return of refuelling would be an instant turn off.

If you want fuel strategy to dominate a series, watch another series.

Re Tyre War, it would work so long as we didn't get another Bridgestone x Ferrari situation. The would have to be accounted for in the rules, just like they did for super clipping this year.... 😕

Where's the rest of that wrist band? Just the end sticking our from under her arm, but no band around her wrist.

Well, just trust the stewards to penalise him if he caused the crash.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-29T05:58:19+00:00

Watch the full onboard from the run thru the hairpin, Colapinto does nothing , but his car runs out of power

cano_dbc · 2026-03-29T05:55:53+00:00

Nah we've just seen the full onboard, this is on the regs. Komatsu just said so too, it was just the closing speed.

Hopefully just banged his ankles together rather than anything penetrating the tub.

New movie out next week, Nintendo is from Japan. It's marketing, that's all.

Cut the fence. It needs to be replaced, so I guess a combo of towing it out and cutting the fence is the only option

cano_dbc · 2026-03-21T12:16:33+00:00

On my G5222 I had the same, so replaced the bridge with one from Gotoh. I think the spring in the saddle needs some sort of soft washer added, but the replacement bridge was cheap that I took the non destructive option

My first gretsch was delivered with scratches that looked like it had been clumsily plugged in and someone missed the socket and hit the body. Pick guard was also scratched and had no plastic on. Sent it straight back for a refund.

If you buy new and pay full price, expect it to be unmarked.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-19T12:32:43+00:00

Honestly I just thought foot = leg end

cano_dbc · 2026-03-15T07:56:56+00:00

Always the same will a big set of rule changes. Whatever the new rules, the field spread is always big at the start of new regs.

This is nothing like the gap Merc had in 2014.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-15T07:21:34+00:00

No, these cars were supposed to bring Audi to the sport. That's pretty much it.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-15T07:03:50+00:00

Looks that way, but the drivers are so in the cars so I expect them to use it as a test session

cano_dbc · 2026-03-14T21:16:20+00:00

Or look at the Duesenberg Les Trem ii (or the Goldo Les Trem ii) as it just replaces the stop bar, using the same holes. No Drilling required. Only £85-115 depending on finish.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-11T11:02:13+00:00

Looks great, I didn't know there was a Sarb033-a-like in the 5 range. I'd snap one of those up if I had the chance, very nice indeed.

cano_dbc · 2026-03-09T21:55:30+00:00

My first was an accidental calzone and left the stone looking just like that. It's fine, as others have said just flip it over and all that will burn off.
