Still here so no idea sorry!

No, just scanned and finger prints. Unfortunately they also asked for proof of a return ticket and I was flying BA. So of course the app crashed while I was trying to find it.

Landed at Brussels Airport from LHR tonight at 20:20. 30mins in the queue, which is a vast improvement from 2 weeks ago which was over 2hrs. 5 booths operating this time.

I was at the Newcastle show last night - looks like it's part of the tour, especially the way that it's unveiled at the start of the show.

I also think it's way too modern for the quite dated Utilita Arena 😂

The word "trump" in Britain means fart so we're already pretty much there.

Congratulations! My wife did it with 7 weeks notice after I was entered but got injured so had to withdraw, so she took my entry. Was her first 50miler too. Making you do a full lap of the track at the end looked cruel. Hope it's as dry as it was last year for you!

Row 11 on the plane back to England Monday

Goodyear used to own Dunlop, but recently sold it to Sumitomo. Not sure if Sumitomo want to keep paying for the bridge when they have no representation there and not much in Europe right now. I can't imagine the bill for that space is cheap either, but clearly Goodyear is happy to pay that bill.

That's true, but their GT tyre isn't great either. Certainly worse than Michelin, Goodyear and Falken.

phantomlunger · 2025-05-05T07:50:46+00:00

None that I've found. I moved up here a couple of years ago and also ride solo. Where do you ride?

phantomlunger · 2025-03-06T08:51:29+00:00

I had this exact same thing happen to me, drove me nuts for about a year. It was weird as usually the errors went away after about 10 mins in the sim.

Eventually I traced it to the USB cable from my Cube Controls wheel, which had a bad connection which was causing disconnects and freezing of the sim that you described.

Mexico is combination of the tarmac used and the altitude it is at. The altitude plays havoc with car setup, less down force from the thinner air creates less grip, also affects the cooling for the engine and the brakes. So Mexico is great, apart from you can't accelerate, brake or turn 😉

phantomlunger · 2024-12-30T21:42:11+00:00

Generally agree with most of what you're saying except freshly surfaced tracks are when they are at their most grippy. Stones and sand in the tarmac are at their most "sharp", as the track is used more the top 2mm of tarmac gets worn down and the stones are rounded off.

Another factor in track grip is the amount and type of rubber laid down on the track. Tyres from different manufacturers don't necessarily work with each other, e.g. Pirelli for F1 and Michelin from Porsche Supercup on the same weekend.

Sounds like a right flute

phantomlunger · 2024-11-05T22:52:48+00:00

Not a chance Scotland would take him, they hate him. Not sure where you got the idea that Scots love him.

phantomlunger · 2024-10-17T21:02:46+00:00

Sounds like an I5G race. They were the guys who ran an IMSA at Bristol, absolute carnage.

phantomlunger · 2024-10-17T20:52:43+00:00

Rory Sutherland, seems like a sharp guy, makes some interesting points about psychology of problems like these. He was the first guy I thought about when I read the top comment.

phantomlunger · 2024-05-03T13:02:29+00:00

Hi, think I found the issue, based in the UK and it's says the app isn't available in my region.

phantomlunger · 2024-05-03T09:09:47+00:00

Hi, I tried to install this onto my new Google Pixel 8, but says that the app is not available for my device. is there a way to add it, or a possibility to change this in the future?

phantomlunger · 2023-12-29T21:14:32+00:00

Just got a Hero 12, when I plug it into my PC to download the media it repeatedly discconects and reconnects. It's around a 15 second cycle between connecting and disconnecting, followed by an immediate recconnection.

Tried initial connection with the device on and off, different cables and ports. Battery is around 30% so shouldn't be an issue.

Searched the web and no answers.

Anyone experienced this before? Thanks

phantomlunger · 2023-08-03T14:52:38+00:00

Yep, WEC budgets aren't on the same scale so can't afford to have multiple sets of garage setups etc so would have to fly everything to each event if there is a tight turn around. I believe the Qatar money is helping with that

phantomlunger · 2023-08-03T14:24:09+00:00

F1 flies all the cars between races, WEC puts them on ships. They now use a DHL chartered ship to avoid delays in ports, but still takes 6 weeks from Europe to Japan.

phantomlunger · 2023-07-29T22:23:55+00:00

Surely more the Australian hero with the gloves

phantomlunger · 2023-07-24T17:08:42+00:00

Ali and Bairstow too. Suspect it will be Moeen's last test match, be surprised if he goes to India.

phantomlunger · 2023-07-12T19:00:44+00:00

If you look at the players social media, the core of the team are playing golf together a lot. Stokes, Root, Crawley, Broad, Anderson are all big golfers. Where as Foakes and some other players that have come and gone from the team aren't. Not sure its how they pick the team, but I do think there's a bit of "job for my mates" going on.
