Lotus Racing:
Engine: 9th
Gearbox: 9th
Brakes: 10th
Front Wing: 10th
Suspension: 10th
Rear Wing: 10th
Overall: 10th

It does not show in this numbers... but we got ourselves new hot rear wing. 10-15% performance gain when our engineers are through with it, and it is reliable enough for Vidal's car. Those legendary design ideas by Jenny can save our *** here.

We started the production of some new brakes to bridge the gap to a Jenny special here... we are making big progress. It is not quite showing in the raw numbers, but in relation to where we started..

Gearbox: 11% performance increase
Rear Wing: 13% performance increase, potential for 20%
Brakes: 8% performance increase
Engine: 25% performance increase, potential for 27%
Suspension: 9% performance increase, potential for 12%

It is just that we started way down the food chain...

The factory and design center will be ready after this Grand Prix.

The bad news, there is no real hard rain predicted for the British GP here in Guildford right in front of our doors. The good news, the new gimmicks we got on our car should all help us with raw performance on this track.

High and medium speed corners, and lots of engine power is required here as most of the track is flat out with little braking going on and literally no low speed corners. No pit stop mistakes, and we could get something here.

Rumors, Rumors, Rumors

Steinmann's Harry Chapman promptly got caught partying like it is 1999 and footage of him being completely drunk beyond proper speaking is all over the internet...

According to some new magazines in Brazil, Ana Oliveira of Windsor Racing spend some long nights in the casinos of Rio de Janeiro, playing baccarat and losing money.

Not only does Panther's Nikolai Surikov still have some neck problems, he raised a fuss about wanting a new contract and more importantly, a better status in the team.

Good news for him, Panther brought a serious brake update to the Grand Prix that puts them on top of the table. Bad news, it is a race too late and won't help them much in Guildford.

Thornton felt the need to bring a new rear wing iteration to their home Grand Prix. They are feeling the hot breath of the Lotus team.
