So tips are in...once again I have tipped Webs for the win, Alonso 2nd and Button 3rd. Vettel and Hamo to take each other out and end up outside the points.

If its going to be wet then will be real interesting as the Macs use their tyres better in the cold then Fezz and RBR

Early in the year the good oil was Grosgean was top of the list, Senna 2nd. He needed/wanted to focus on GP2 as last time round he gave away the championship. Mid year they started saying that late in the year Renault were looking to test Senna and Grosgean on race weekends, but Senna would go first if the opportunity arose as Grosgean had to wrap up the championship.

Then the Heidfeld thing went south, Senna got his chance and have to say had a pretty good debut....sponsors jumping on board and you have to wonder with Grosjean is now going to just sit around because both Petrov and Senna bring money to the team. In my heart of hearts I think Grosjean is a good thing and would really shine

I am a bit neither here nor there about F3000. Like all the other lower formulae it doesnt demonstrate you can cut it in F1 - just that you may be competitive. Many of the F2/F3000 champions careers have spluttered out and conversely many of the lesser lights have gone on to shine.

Look how Ricciardo has treated it. He doesnt really care anymore and didnt all this season near as I can tell.

I'm a die-hard Webber fan, but these days I wouldn't tip him for the win unless he had a ten second head start ...

You will all eat your words. Was talking to Mark on Wednesday and he said the engineers have been working hard on the software to simulate the grip levels and required clutch adjustment. He is pretty sure that the new setup along with his usual lightning fast reflexes will see him jump a few places on the grid. So I am convinced this is going to be the race of his season :)

Be realistic Roy, how do you jump a few places if you are on pole?

or hamo will be at the pointy end of the field and then drop 2 wheels off onto the artificial grass at lesmo and then go sliding backwards into the fence like he did a few years back, lol

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?
