but then all you have to do is leave the same lot of drivers in the top 10 and you are garanteed to get points everyweek even if you have the order all wrong. the castrol one gives you 10 points for correct, 5 points for 1 place off, 2 points for 2 places off. so you have to be somewhat correct to get points. makes sense to me.

true a bit more fine tuning and it good be even better. one point for having in top ten would help. has anyone got point for most places gained??

Yeah but it's 2012 and HD tv's are pretty much standard, I mean for FFS they had the BTCC on oneHD yesterday but F1 doesn't cut the mustard. Someone's head has to roll for this, they can't give it in HD then take it away,shit ain't right.

F1 back to a decent track. pity it will be alternating with spa though. Wonder if it would have happened if it wasnt owned by Bernie

It'sa farking joke. So is he paying himself to host a GP? No Spa is a farking DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :verymad: :verymad: :verymad: :verymad: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun:

Ricard needs overhauls such as media accomodation (tiny), extra vip accomodation, lots more parking on the outside of the circuit (the airport would be needed for the vips

In a recent article discussing Bernies short term=stupid approach to the US GPs in the 80s...."Had Ecclestone bit the bullet and hung in there he might have wound up owning the Glen and maybe Long Beach too, giving him real power in American motor racing. But as with Bahrain, F1 today is always about the next bag of gold rather than long-term planning and building the sport’s popularity in places that not only have a passion for F1, but are also the perfect and proper venues for Grand Prix racing."

Should be going to Magny Cours and Bernie needs to lower his licensing fees so amazing places like Spa get to keep their GP. It is such an amazing place, and gives us such amazing races....instead we are stuck with Valencia, Bahrain, China, Korea etc ...places that cant give a shit about F1 and simply line Bermies pockets :angry:

I still watched it back in the 90's on a grainy as f**k old school TV from the 70's

and weren't channel 9 the masters of not giving a toss about F1- even if a race started live eastern time at 10pm, they'd still delay the coverage until 2 or 3am.

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
    • I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later. 
    • I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!
