And we have a wet Malaysian GP. Will be very interesting. No TC and wet race. Hope old Webber shows the sort of wet weather pace that saw him do good things in Brazil in the wet in a Jaguar, Japan last year, and even Phillip Island all those years ago in a Formula Ford where he blitxed the field in wet conditions.

COME ON WEBBER ! :down:

BBC wins back Formula One rights

Thursday 20th March 2008

F1 will return to the BBC from the 2009 season after the corporation secured a five-year television rights deal, it was announced today.

Twelve years after ITV won the rights and began broadcasting the sport, the BBC have managed to bring Formula One back in a major coup for the organisation.

Bernie Ecclestone, chief executive of Formula One Administration Limited, said: "I am delighted to conclude this new deal with the BBC.

"I wish to thank ITV for their commitment to Formula One and the high quality of their coverage.

"It is an exciting time in Formula One and the BBC has some innovative new ideas to consolidate and expand our UK fanbase."

BBC Sport director of sport rights Dominic Coles said on BBC Sport online: "The biggest motorsporting event in the world is returning home after 12 years.

"We were delighted when Bernie Ecclestone approached us about the return of F1 to the BBC.

"F1 is a crown jewel of sports broadcasting, so to bring the rights back to their traditional home from 2009 is tremendously exciting.

"Fans will be able to enjoy uninterrupted, state of the art and innovative coverage from BBC Sport, across all of our TV, radio and new media platforms, for the first time since 1996."

does this mean the current commentary team will be out of a job?

god i hope so

PLEASE can Clarkson get the job!

The less said by ITV, the better. I'd even support Damon Hill or Nigel Mansell commentating than the tits they have at the moment:

excerpt:

"What do you suppose Lewis Hamilton had for - oh, Raikonnen spins out- breakfast this morning?"

"I hear it's eggs and toast on race days."

quote of the week

he musn't have been watching team jihad throught out th 70's 80's and 90's

no doubt coincided with the switch from Magneti Marelli ECUs to Bosch :)

that one's f**ked too

btw, another Coulthard classhik!!

:laughing-smiley-014: :) :laughing-smiley-014: :D

yes I wonder how much of these problems can be attributed to everyone having to run a maclaren ECU? it certainly didn't seem to get along too well with the ferrari's...

and you call yourself an F1 enthusiast- McLaren has only 1 'a' in the spelling. you can check my Av for help if you like

PLEASE can Clarkson get the job!

i can only imagine the comments

"and Raikkonen is coming 2nd with 1 lap to go- and isn't that a shame?, 'coz Scuderia Ferrari management said they'd pay to have the stick surgically removed from his arse if he won today...."

lol

Q: Did you hear David’s threat on television...?

FM: I was a bit surprised, to be honest, because we are there to race. I tried to pass him. I was inside and he closed (the door on) me and we crashed. I think everybody knows two cars cannot be in the same place in a corner and usually the guy who’s outside has more possibility to go off, so that’s it.

Q: So you haven’t apologised then?

FM: No, because I didn’t do anything wrong. When I do something wrong, I will apologise but this time I don’t need to.

Q: David, you haven’t carried out your threat then?

David COULTHARD: Well, no, and obviously apologies for my strong language but I was frustrated because…

SV: What was it? What was it? Can you repeat it?

DC: You can read it on the website. The reality is, in this situation, Felipe is not racing me for the World Championship so he can do the same manoeuvre for the next 17 Grand Prix and have the same result, because quite clearly my eyes point forward, they don’t point rearward. He’s got a much clearer view as to how much space there is and I didn’t take a different line than I took any other lap so… I was fully prepared for him to pass me in corner three because a Ferrari has a much better top speed, it’s a much quicker car. He made his choice. If he makes the same choice (again), he’ll get the same result. I can’t make my car invisible but as I say, I’m not fighting for the World Championship, he is, so next time he should wait until corner three.

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
