you can look into the shuey thing a little more if you want, he tested a late 07 model ferrari with current year spec tyres and was consistently lapping several seconds under current times (not lap record times)

yes, that could because of the car or his neck?

but, shuey is known for his ego and being a champion. he is not going to want to come back if;

the car isnt up to pace or he isnt up to pace.

im leaning towards him not wanting to race as he is worried about being beaten by previous back markers (mark, jensen, ruebens). but meh, id love more than anything to see the man in a competetive car running it up the front he is a legend after all!

he prob would have said no after the first 70 laps or so that he did if he was worried about his EGO.....after those 70 laps his neck was sore for a week....then came the second 70 laps or so and he didnt pull up good either.....i watched his press conference and he was genuinely disappointed.....there is no doubt about his LEGENDARY status either....i would be happy to see schummy race regardless of the results he gets as those points wont be helping MASSA.....

maybe his ego made him want to actually be that quick so he had another dig? not saying its his skill, the man would be a front runner in motoGP if he wanted but maybe there is disapointment in the car?

ive just learnt watching F1 to over annalyse everything, especially when it comes to big teams such as mclaren & ferrari lol.....

yeh like you said, it would be great just to see him out there again, charging into the first corner!

Badoer has already said that done expect much out of him and he will be treating it like a test session......i mean come on.....put Marc Gene in the seat if Badoer isnt going to be 100% racing all the time....

  • 2 weeks later...

Great effort by Fisi regardless of weight and a big positive for Toyota and Jarno. Should be a good race and I for one am predicting the winner to come from what would normally be considered an outside chance.

been an interesting couple of weeks, and i agree with you about a big change on the top of the podium tonight, tho i think kimi will be there somehwere.

just hope those teams pit crew can stand up to the pressure of fighting for the win (unlike mclaren apparently??!?!)

also, good on rubens for still fighting for the drivers title, looks set to take another chunk outa buttons lead tonight!!

Oh what a fantastic race (of course it is fantastic...Ferrari won :D) Force India IMHO should have won the GP last night....KERS was the only thing that kept Kimi infront of Fisichella....he drove an exciting race....but what about Kimi's start.....Barichello hit antistall and was stuck on the line while Kimi blasted off and took a whole new way of taking turn 1.....onto the run off and after the safety car restart he managed to get infront of Fisi by the power of the magic button lol.....

Brawn are in a bit of stife specially after having Button DNF and Barichello just limp it home with his car on fire in the pitlane after the race......There are rumors that Fisi might be going to Ferrari for the next race in the championship.....that would be a lot better then having Look at me Bad goer at the wheels....cannot wait for Massa to come back...i think they had 6 DNF's

pritty sure i called that victory... if only i put some cash on it!!! =P

how about that force india? that thing was a beast around there!! not sure kimi would have got the win if it wasent for that restart!

lol at webber getting webbered XD unless something crazy happens, i think brawn will take both titles comfortably from here

Kimi was flying at the start of the race....so not sure if the restart made much of a difference but when they changed tyres is when it made the difference....kimi was struggling to keen Fisi behind him

massive congrats to fisi! good on kimi aswell, always liked him as a driver, be interesting to see if he does indeed go to mclaren next year. somethings got to give as alonso has confirmed he is at ferrari and kimi has said he still has a contract there so :s

also mark webbers lolly pop man needs a bullet, that dipshit has f**ked him over too many times....

sorry mate i haven't looked for a link, im just going off what both aussie and international comentators said during the race? i dare say its just strong word of mouth amongst the pits that they are running off.

there wouldnt be a press release untill they can fit kimi in somewhere

wow wow wow easy there tiger.....mark webbers lollypop man did the correct thing by releasing him early....Webber just didnt get traction....got bogged down and hence that have the Nicko the time to get side by side to him....at which point it became RBR's fault as they should have waited.....Webber and Nicko were fighting for race position....and they were evenly matched as well...plus webber was infront of Nicko....didnt wanna loose position in pitlane...

There is also rumors that Kimi is going Rally driving next year in Finland....Alonso is most likely going to move into the Ferrari outfit....Kimi prob go more rallying....Massa gets back into his seat...well hopefully.....would love to see Alonso and Massa at Ferrari....

    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
