2008 F1 Season


Recommended Posts

.getting all pumped to see Webber up the pointy end again.

thats as long as Red Bull get to race

Red Bull will supply Malaysian race stewards with a detailed technical report after David Coulthard’s accident during Friday morning’s practice session at Sepang. Coulthard’s RB4 sustained what the team described as ‘substantial peripheral damage’ after the car suffered a track rod failure.

The team decided not to run the Scot in the afternoon session whilst they investigated the cause of the accident, and were subsequently requested to meet with race stewards to discuss the crash.

During the meeting, attended by Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner and a technical representative, the squad were asked to provide a report "verifying that the integrity of the suspension is such that the car should not be deemed 'of dangerous constructions' under Article 2.3 of the 2008 Formula One Technical Regulations."

Stewards have the power to exclude Red Bull if they decide the car does not meet requirements, but the team hope that Coulthard will be back in action on Saturday morning for the final practice session ahead of qualifying for Malaysian Grand Prix.

That's the ITV UK feed that is a free stream to UK residents only however someone has obviously set it up to stream via a proxy so that anyone can access it.

Be better if it was about 25% better quality/bitrate but yes it certainly beats waiting until 2am tonight to watch ch10's cutdown version.

Be interesting to see how Louise goes in trafiic. He has been good to watch as he is almost wreckless the way he commits the car to the inside, outside...and sometimes dirt to get past cars. Surely sooner or later ppl are not going to stand for it and it will end badly. Always interesting to see ppl race from teh back, Kimi does it well. MS was great at it, Massa sux at it....so far Lewis has been all over the place but never got into the points from mid field or back of grid

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
