$30.00 to much?

i don't think it would work with the blackberry anyways. :(

When you put it that way.. not really. haha.

But.. last years free one was good enough for me.

New one looks real good, no denying.

Nah leave that one alone, the best one is the free one with the vodafone logo - should be out damn soon!

Looks like this;

Actual app name when loaded to your phone is "F1.com 2011" and the year before was "F1.com 2010"

Frank Williams steps down from Williams board

The Williams team has announced Frank Williams is to step down from the board, with his daughter Claire joining from next month.

Williams made it clear, however, that he will continue to be team principal for the squad that bears his name.

But he said it is time for him to start the process of handing over the reins of the team since he will turn 70 next month.

"This is an opportune moment for me to consider my own role in the team," he said. "I turn 70 in April and I have decided to signal the next stage in the gradual but inevitable process of handing over the

reins to the next generation by stepping down from the Board at the end of this month. "This is not as dramatic a move as it may appear: I shall continue to work full-time as Team Principal and I shall continue

to attend all Board meetings as observer. I also remain the majority shareholder of Williams Grand Prix Holdings PLC."Williams co-founder Patrick Head left the board at the end of last year.

The team also announced that Claire Williams will join its board from 1 April as director of marketing and communications.

The position became available following the decision of Dominic Reilly to leave the company at the end of March.

"It is no secret that Claire is my daughter but I am proud to say that she has fought hard to earn this appointment and of all the battles she has had to fight, the prejudices of her father were not the least

challenging," said Frank Williams.

"Dominic Reilly has proven a unique talent in the field of sports marketing and filling the gap he leaves was daunting. But I have come to the view that Claire, with her profound love and knowledge

of the sport and the team, can do so and I am proud and delighted that the Board has given her this opportunity."

Williams chairman Adam Parr added: "Claire has worked at Williams for 10 years, taking on increasingly demanding positions and demonstrating throughout all of the qualities needed in this critical role.

The Board concluded that Claire's appointment would further strengthen its quality, diversity and effectiveness."

Frank Williams said last week that he saw Parr as his natural successor.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • 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
