yeah go webber! nice work on the burnout too, I can't believe the camera just panned away as it was happening too. what are they illegal like booze is over there?

vets certainly gave him a nice squeeze into T1 on the opening lap but webz managed to hold on. shame I had some money on webber for the win at 9:1 but luckily I took a back-up position on vettel to win at 5:1 which will get my money back. I also had some decent bucks on rosberg to make the top 8 which was paying 3:1. rosberg you cnt. just one more place!! argh, had webber made 1 more place and rosberg 1 more I would have been cheering. the GF had some cash on rubes to make a podium too and from memory it's odds were not bad, maybe 3:1 or so.

anyway, webber drove well to keep button behind him. in those last few laps webber was getting some mighty sideways action out of the slower corners. and lots of bum wagging under hard braking into them too so he did really well to keep it straight and nice and wide! and how sideways did he get into turn 1 when he clashed with rubes!! biiig moment that one, he did well to crank on enough lock and keep his boot down to hold it together and keep the place.

apart from the first few laps and the last few it seemed pretty boring (i dozed off a few times). but that's no surprise it's a tilke designed track and is just as boring as the rest of them.

it sounds like webber is confirmed at RBR next year which is a good thing. he was narrowly beaten by vettel this year, let's hope he can reverse it next year. it's heartening to see that that margain between button and rubes is double that between vettel and webber. you certainly wouldn't say vettel pounded him, it was very close between the two RBR guys, both had their mistakes, and they bad luck and some great drives as well.

Has anyone read the press conference stuff after with SV and MW sticking it to JB about the "media reported" impending nuptuals? This is the tail end of it.

JB I think there’s going to be a big battle at the front which is going to be a new thing for all of us, because having four teams fighting it out at the front, that hasn’t happened – could you just keep… ‘scuse me, I’m just trying to talk – you might want to listen to this.

MW: We’re just talking about your wedding day, mate. We’re just trying to clear our schedules.

JB: But with four teams at the front, eight drivers fighting out for wins, I think that’s exciting, so, yeah.

Q: (Bob McKenzie – The Daily Express) What’s the date for the wedding, Jenson?

JB: It’s my birthday, did you say? By the way, I’m looking forward to my present, thank you very much, Bob. What did you call me before?

BMcK: The World Champion?

JB: That’s the one, thank you. I’m not getting married this year.

SV: Why not? You don’t love her?

MW: Clear up January, clear it up.

JB: I think some things need to be kept private in your life and that’s one of them. Thank you very much.

yes jenson looked p1ssed when vets made some remark about him getting married during the televised part of the post race conference. not happy at all. I say deal with it. He's a highly paid driver in a high profile sport. I mean if he wants a nice private life he can go and drive a tractor instead and get $50K a year instead of what was it? $10mil? I think he might have to live with being in the public eye just a tad....

Full transcript here.

mark webber looked the goods this year

hopefully he can grab 3-5 wins next year and be WDC by end 2010 season.

at least he finally proved with a decent car he can match it within the top 5

Yeah, since his missus is pretty ordinary.......poor Jensen.

    • 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
