Everyone knows Schumie is "the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be" :spank:

"People don't understand how good he is. To beat Michael in equal equipment isn't possible, to beat him in better equipment is, thats what Hill did, what Villieneuve did and what Hakkinen did..." Eddie Irvine...

I'm VERY one eyed.

Schumey's good, but how can you compare him to Senna, Prost or Fangio? Senna was a freak and give him a crap car and he too will give you a good run for your money. I reckon these 2 are on par. Prost is a champion in the turbo era and the post-turbo era. Driving the old turbo cars, you need balls of steel cause 1000bhp is not easy to tame. Fangio, need I say, the man who came up with the modern racing techniques.

But the biggest arguement I have is if you have the backing of an entire team, of course you will do very well.

I was waiting for that...

Not completely true. Duncan as a racer yourself and I race karts at state and club level, there is no way in the world you'd risk race points or a possible win by overtaking a damaged car...excatly what Hill did.

Villeneuve, Shumacher admitted he did it and stated that it was his biggest regret in F1

Various Coulthard accounts...Coulthard doesn't count..hehehe

I think he races hard, on the fineline, but not as bad as some make it out to be...

But then again, I think the bloke is amazing...

Those incidences put me off Schuey completely. Thought he was a real champ till he rammed Hill of. In my books, Hill is 2 time champ. JV incident, made me see satin in him.

No doubt he's the best of this generation. His brother.... well.... I doubt he will reach Michael's hights.

The debate still rages about Senna, it doesn't deserve an answer I think out of respect to the great man Senna was...I personally dislike the comment that Senna was pushing too hard trying to compete with Schumacher.

Fangio, well its uncomparable, its a different era, we're talking about time here when team orders meant to pull your car in and give it to the lead driver if his car was not performing or damaged!

Still based on the points scored/poduims view...Shumacher is a clear cut winner, with the added bouns he hasn't always had the best car, and took on a Ferrari drive when they where far from teh best team.

As far as I know, Prost and Senna always had cars capable of obtaining a top 3 finish.

I dont admire Hill very much but respect him for what he tried to do, which no one has ever done before. He went from a top team to shit bottom crap team as world champ? and he almost succeeded in a win at Silverstone, England if it wern't for mechanical failure. Alot of people overlook him and i think he deserves more credit than he gets.

Its in italy.... i know where the smart money is... plus, added bonus of the italian mafia making sure a ferrari wins.

By the way, Hill was booted from Williams before he won the world championship...from memory... had no choice but arrows (?!)

Hill won the championship in 96 and should of been in 94!

Senna didnt always have the best car, 88 yes but no other year was he in the clear cut favourite. Those days it was more even racing. Im sick of hearing of how Schumacher wasnt always in the best car!

Gr8 race once again. I love this new rule cause qualifying means almost jack and you actually get to see cars slice and dice! And I'm re-learning what "overtaking" is again... :)

Congrats to Schuey on a well deserved win, and for performing especially when dealing with the loss of his mother.

Webber, well.... What can I say? Bad start only to recover a little then the Jag going POP.

Hey, I think we were watching different races! I only saw one overtaking manouver all night - barricello on r schumaker coming onto the straight. The rest was m schumaker driving away and mistakes in the pits.

I was dissappointed, I love watching close racing and dicing, and this race wasn't that.

Having said that, maybe there was better racing elsewhere in the field, I think they only showed 6 cars all race

It's not the ontrack overtaking. It's more the pit stop stratagy I like. But love when they bang wheels overtaking too (not jerez 97 style though...)

Everyone thought that the macs we're slow cause of their qualifying stuff-ups but on race day it was a different story.

The mclarens is a developed version of last years car. Last year they used the mp4-17a/b/c specs. This year they used the d spec car.

The ferrari is still a quick car, only it was driver errors which let ferrari down until the san marino.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
