Willwoods are shite anyway

That may be a bit strong, but they certainly know how to market stuff in a way that is able to confuse us into swallowing it without taking into account anything so dull as scientific facts.
Nevertheless, the terms leading and trailing as they apply to brake linings only - technically - relate to the way in which shoes contact the inside of a drum. To use these terms in connection with devices that operate as calipers do is akin to the currently popular abuse of the terms "digital", "turbo" and "miracle cure!" Which are seen on many things that are essentially none of these. I have a razor with the T-word emblazoned all over it but strangely enough, it doesn't have an exhaust gas-driven means of increasing the amount of air it ingests with each gulp of fuel.

Well , there you go ! Just watching the GP , Kimi had two 6 pot right hand calipers on the same axle.. hope he's ok though

They just restarted. That was an hour I'll never see again!

Did i hear right ? A 47g hit?

What's going on? I have been outside welding.

That's how I heard it but let's have a look at the footage from the telly. Ouch! I hope they had plenty of blue label Absolut ready in his camper.

Actually, f'k that old news. Lewis is only the third driver ever to win twice at Silverstone, that's pretty cool methinks.

Oh, F1. Is it actually worth watching these days? It has been so boring for the last few years, I haven't bothered.

i agree with terry, i love the cars love the engineering but the racing is just sooooooo dull...

Well this one was anything but dull. Some REAL racing - wheel to wheel stuff and some audacious overtaking manoeuvres.
