Webs hasn't done too badly overall. If it weren't for his 5-place demotion he would've been sitting pretty. Decent result today for him I think.

Let's hope our other fellow Aussies can deliver an even better result in an hour's time... go the Socceroos!

agree, seems a bit strange to swap the gearbox out after he posts great times in the quali...

he's in 4th now. I don't know id he can keep the pace up for the rest of the season... I really hope he does

Great race, very exciting. All it was missing was a Hamilton crash and a pussy cat doll jumping up and down in a tight dress...

Yeh, i think Webber was holding on as long as posible knowing he had the option to switch to and needed to amke that stint as short as possible. I think there were hoping that the others had to pit.

But the interesting thing was Vettels problem, Webber with fresher tyres seemed to button it off to hold the gap so eith erhad asimialr problem to Vettel or was told ot hold station. The last few laps of Vettel were 3-5 seconds off the pace and Webber should have had him.... :( Would have put him a closer 3rd to Button.

So well done to McLaren, they are hanging around and now have got the car pace. Can RBR respond? I dont think they will have a chance at Silverston based on the Macs new found speed

How's Vetools radio

"Whats the fastest time of the race?"

Mate you have an ailing car and are in 4th place,

good to see you thinking of yourself and not the team...

Oh wait, that is always the case....

Yep.

Agreed, it was a good race, the 70 laps went quickly.

Pretty good result for the scuderia, been a while since they were on the podium this year right?

probably doesn't want engine to blow, whatever the problem is they'll fix it so no penalty come next race. Probably run fresh engine/gearbox in next race without penalty.

Agree,

What penalty will be handed out for Kubes last sec cut entry to pit lane?

Hammo - Nice drive, as much as I hate to admit it, gotta be gracious in defeat. Mac did the deal, 2 races in a row... On this form they might well take the double this year if RBR don't get their shit together.

Jens - As above.

Nando - Nice to see him up the pointy end again, giving no quarter as usual.

Vet - Not bad, kept a pretty steady ship.. Just me or is he a hard f*cker on the car??

Mark - RBR duped him bad, should've pitted 5 laps prior...

MSC - WTF!!?!?!?! Dude... Get you're sh1t together, how many chicanes you want to cut?? But nice door shutting tho! Reminiscent of Sept 1939.. :(

Koob - Should be replacing Massa at teh Fez. That pit-lane entry though does deserve a reprimand, it was potentially very dangerous..

Strong showings from Toro Rossa and Force India.

Best race of the season fo shizz... Schumy to get a bit of a smack on the bum for some of those precarious moves... Grid penalty next race I reckon. Why no investigation on Hammo for unsafe release??? I think it was pretty borderline, should have at least been investigated...

    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
