"Usual no-show" from a guy who has won two races this year is a bit harsh.

you may have misunderstood me

Webber can have exceptional days, Silverstone two weeks ago proves that

but he also has weekends where he may as well not have even turned up. 2010 was littered with performances like that

Consistency wins championships, and his bi-monthly no show doesnt help his cause

On another note I booked tickets and hotels for Melbourne next year.

Jones 4 Corner and Crown Promenade.

was it a package, or did you just do Crown cause its close?

I know what you meant, historically this is true.

If the car setup is out of the window they don't seem to be very quick this year with most top drivers going missing at least once this year when they couldn't get it right. Nando has been the best of the lot so far. Look at Grosjean this weekend and Hamo (excluding their additional pit stops) they were off the pace all day.

Crown Promenade offer two queen beds so good value for me being a little taller and the proximity to the track is pretty good (like a lot of the offered hotels thru Grand Prix Travel).

what did it set you back wolverine if you don't mind me asking ?

Almost bang on $1100 pp including the GP Breakfast, grandstand tickets, lanyards, programme etc. There isn't that much difference between "gold" membership signed up by July 31st and silver after but I am only committed for $500 deposit with the rest to pay Dec 13th.

I will rustle up airfares later and organise shuttle transfers.

There are cheaper packages than Crown Prom but I liked the location and the room was generous.

The Oaks on Market package is bloody brilliant

If anybody is undecided, that is a great place in an excellent location

+1 on that, I've stayed there before (not during f1 season).

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that gp breakfast is a sausage in a piece of bread and a warm red bull lol. Hopefully they upped there game for next year as well as better crowd management.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
