how bad was the ascari? It got hit pretty hard by the looks of it but I didn't see it after the crash.

pffft who wants to go to an energy drink after party?? thats kids stuff!!! LOL

the gt's were abysmal, 7 laps of racing all weekend absolutely shocking considering the money that was put up by the teams to get on the grid.

the ascari accident was stupid and no reason for it to happen,

Saturdays was shocking, and was caused by the drivers trying to avoid the Aston that went into limp home mode on the rolling start. We were all glad to see the drivers involved were all ok.

We were glad all our cars made it through the weekend with minimal damage

Yeah I saw the Aston stall up at the starting line and was wondering what was going on. Was abit upset about how short the race was as it got quite exciting pretty quickly!

I remember a masertai losing it's boot, think it was a 911 losing it's door. There was bits of car everywhere haha

Think I saw a White mosler (spelling?) with part of it's front end ripped off. Deffently not a cheap day for alot of those guys :blink:

15 cars damaged on saturday.

Was talking with one of the Lambo drivers and he was saying he was ducking in his car as a wheel went over the windscreen.

One good thing out of it was some great advertising for us, with the pics in the paper and on the news (but i didn't say that) considering quite a few friends were involved in the accident

did you drop down past our GT paddock?

... Well unless you were a promo model or looked 21 wearing a skimpy outfit and had a hot friend next to you, you didn't get an invite to our party LOL

were you with the Vodka O team?

i was a guest of the Hallmarc team - they had a disappointing weekend with Michael Loccisano's 911 lunching its gearbox during the warmup for Friday's race (they had to install a replacement box from Porsche that day) and Marc Cini's new 997 Cup S got smashed into very expensive pieces after the Aston stalled in Saturday's short race.

will try to post some shots of said 21 year old with skimpy outfit and hot friend...

yeah mate, with the vodka o guys'n gals

we were watching race 2 when marc hit the wall and had his brother sitting next to us.

We were first told that it was the Lester 430 that hit the wall then trying to see a replay through the tree's we saw it was marc.

I flew in saturday morning so i missed the first 2 days :D

  • 3 weeks later...

+1, should be a good race. The Mc's are close enough but if it's dry I expect Vettel to bring it home with ease.

Ferrari might also have some speed with fuel on board and certainly MS could feature depending how he uses his rubber.

what a dramatic finishing to the race last night......Hamilton in second position crashes out on the second last lap due to tyre failure......Vettel looses a position to Alonso because he simply had no brakes.....wow didnt expect ferrari to be on the podium but guess you need a bit of luck at times.....now alonso is only 3 points behind on the championship ladder to button.......getting better for next week

yep webber's car setup was awesome.....his tires worked well and the car achieved a really good speed.....i think he even had the fastest lap of the race.....he really did the trifecta......starting on pole, fastest lap and race victory......really a good job and kudos to him for doing that......still cant believe what a poor qualifying from ferrari and managed to jag 2nd spot lol

yeah i was dreading that would happen.....it would be damn hard to get a good clean lap in i reackon.......got $$$ on alfonso to win......or at least a ferrari win :(......its been a while

Total dominance from Webber last nite.... If there were less safety cars then he would have won by half a lap!!

great strategy by Ferrari too...

Massive mistake by Mclaren to leave the blockout in the radiator on buttons car... and he paid the price!

It was awesome to see Webber's race last night. It's really good to see him out pace his team mate buy so much and the rest of the field by even more, especially on a drivers track. Let's just hope he can carry the momentum on for the rest of the season.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
