don't start that shit again- He won it in spite of various dumb marshalling decisions against Him, thanks to plenty of excellent drives

on another topic, I wonder what the likelihood of Red Bull getting caught out using some sly system to adjust ride-height is? would seriously shake things up if they get stripped of points a few rounds from now

Definitely would be interesting, thats for true.

Horner seems pretty confident though, but I've been racking my brain trying to work out how it could be possible to have a ride height system like they do.

Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed :cool:

And f**k me but if i heard anything else about Mclaren and Hamo...Loved it when Button out qualified him as well cause Hamo has some kinda love affair with that circuit apparently....

I used to think this too. But i've since spoken to a couple mates living abroad and if you think ITV are bad, listen to the spanish broadcaster talk NON-STOP about Alonso... and then those other 20 odd nobodies who happen to be circulating the track

I take some solice in the fact that ITV no longer drone on and on about schumacher. Hamo has now taken the focus of their attention, and im just happy for the change

Don't watch the OneHD coverage or the Ch10 coverage because I want to neck myself everytime I hear those 2 dull commentators (and now a 3rd).

I either watch it live on my pc via a UK Proxy with no ads and an extra 1.5hrs coverage or I just download the entire BBC coverage an hour after quali/race and watch it the following day (about 4-5hrs coverage for quali+race).

whisper it (for this is heresy), but could it be that Schumacher is now merely competent rather than great?

Schumacher's comeback is going much as I expected. He's too good a driver not to do well if the car's at all decent, but a few years out of the sport combined with his age was always going to count against him for the championship. I thought he might fluke a couple of wins but now I doubt even that.

Havent seen any sight of the interviews from after Quali that they said they were going to show on 1. the pre race show was about 10 minutes long because of the bloody reb bull air race going over time. Every time you go to watch anything on ten or 1hd they start at least 10 minutes late its absolute crap

yeah agreed - safety should be a priority and that was silly.

also....if I tried that trick that Button just did I would be given a drive thru 100% certain. Rules are very clear that it is not legal to deliberatly buch the field at a restart

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
