Well Honda F1 are gone, atm i dunno where that leaves rubens and jensen

Lots of new rules, ruduction in Aero, rear wings width has been reduced, front wings are now allowed to be lower, much like they used to be, expect no more spoon wings :laugh:

return to full slicks

umm

yehhhh haha. Team-wise.... Vettel to red-bull I think has happened thats all I can remember atm havent been following off season much

More rule changes coming in the next couple of years but, the sport is gonna get run into the ground there trying to take the speed away from it, the very thing that makes formula 1 what it is

Fixed :)

Agreed

There wrecking the cars, wrecking the speed all to try and increase overtaking.

And now Bernie wants the championship decided by medals! Thats rediculous, how hard is it to kick the retards at the top out and put people in that actually want the sport to continue to thrive. All there cost cutting bullshit has just lead to lots of increased costs to adjust everyones cars and engines.....

despite all that, i'm still looking forward to Alonso kicking Louis's ass, or Massa kicking louis' ass or kimi kicking louis' ass or vettel kicking his ass, or even sutil kicking his ass.

I second that :banana:

I really think there is going to be inadequate testing considering the extensiveness of all the changes in 2009. Should create some good racing.. I hope.

Driver adjustable front wing is quite interesting, especially with an 80hp 'boost' button.

Im very interested to see how 08 laptimes compare to 09..

Go Alonso!

despite all the negativity surrounding the sport with all the changes etc, i think it is also very exciting, for once we will have a championship where half a dozen drivers could give it a good shake. its going to be new for everyone, and will certainly shake the dead wood loose. bring on Melbourne....

As much as id like to see anyone kick Louise's ass the sport badly needs him right now.

God, if ever there was a reason for saying F1 is a business.. There it is.

Imagine owning your own F1 team, even if it is honda :P

70 Something days to go, Who will be in Melbourne for the first race?

Why does everyone hate Louis so much? I think he's a great driver. I can't stand Alonso but.

I also heard a rumour that Toyota are thinking of pulling the pin on F1, anybody know about it?

So you like lewis over alonso? :sweat:

When did you start watching f1?

Each to their own, but i think lewis can :):w00t:

you would be lucky to get seats in a stand now, maybe on the back of the track.

we bought the four corners package this year, different stand each day, but we are in shoey stand on saturday and jones on sunday.

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
