F1: RB6 Owners' Workshop Manual

Just got one of these. Looks pretty impressive and is mentioned to have great detail on their methods and tools.

http://www.haynes.co.uk/redbull/index.htm


It said it could take a month to arrive, so when it does i'll post up some thoughts.

From what I can tell, it's not an actual Haynes manual for the RB6 but rather a book about RBR.

I'm sure there are obvious reasons of why the former can't be released, but I think it would be pretty sweet if Haynes took an 80s turbo F1 car and stripped it as if it was an actual prod. car. Now THAT I would buy.

What's wrong with the Bentley book? Because of this forum I've only used it twice in a year of owning my car but I can't imagine wanting more info.

EDIT; guess you don't have one
