Looks like ill be a new foxtel subscriber then...

I stuffed around downloading Sky rips after the events last year and it is just down right painfull..

It just shits me, that i cant "only" pay for motorsports channels. I dont watch any other form of sport... why the hell do i need to pay $60 per month for shit im not going to watch -.-

Thats a huge rip off, considering that you are essentially paying $43.5 per race weekend...

Thats $60 p/m + $150 Install / 20 races per year.

What a joke.

It's almost worth signing up for a NOW TV whole week pass ~2 times a month and pulling it down through a UK supplied VPN connection. If only that was legal. -.-

Sports channels are only $25 a month. The rest is just your base subscription. Although I see your point if you are joining purely for F1

Id like a dedicated channel but looks like its just going to be on fox sports 1, 2 or 3. At least we will see practice, qually and race live anyway. Somethimes I tried streaming practice but was almost always useless

My live streams always worked for practice, race day they sometimes lagged due to all the viewers I imagine, but I pretty much only watched for the pre race and during the 300 odd ad breaks 10 managed to fit into a race.

Will be sweet to get all of that in HD without any of the lag etc

WTF are Bernie and his lackies up to? So they are banning drivers chamging their helmet designs mid season!

What a farking joke. Why are they wasting their time discussing such matters when they had two teams go out of business at the end of last season. Force India and Sauber look shaky. You have big name teams that can't attract a series sponsor. You have a historic GP venue in the middle of Europe saying they can't afford to host the GP and the other venue can't afford it back to back...

...and they decide to talk about what F1 drivers are doing with their helmets.

It annoys me to see such a great sport being completely farked / raped by capitalist douchebags

Yeah that is a bit lame, I always enjoyed seeing the different helmets. Having the same one all the time does get a bit boring, then again changing every race is a bit stupid too (vettel). Maybe they should limit it to 5 changes a year maximum. It's a bit annoying they always want to appeal to the casual viewer and not the true fans that watch every or most races.

I will be there Sat. Still not sure about springing the cash for Sunday or going to Malaysian GP. I am going to JoeSaward on Fri night to hear him moan on about things

Survey of fans on helmet decision!

Yes – it's important that drivers maintain design so we can recognise them in the car 21.29% (306 votes)
Yes – it speaks to the heritage of the sport 13.57% (195 votes)
No – this is more interference in driver individuality on the part of the teams and FIA 21.64% (311 votes)
No – F1 has far more important issues to address than livery design 43.49% (625 votes)

Total Votes: 1,437

AMA SuperCross / Motocross The riders change helmets between practice/race sessions

Fark even I change gear/helmet between races.

Maybe if they put numbers on the cars we could farking recognize them......hows that for a novel idea.

Poor Alonso. Should have taken my advice and served his last year out at Fezz and signed an option for McLaren in 2015. But first see what the first proper James Allison car was like. McLaren have built some horrible cars over the years and when the fluked upon a good one in 2012 they threw it away for a rubbish evolution in 2013 :(

And now you have the woeful Honda engine...looks as bad/worst than Renault given their budget and time to prepare.

Oh well, i am ready to right them off for 2015.

Remember Red Bull last year? Horrible pre season with numerous break downs/issues. Then come Melbourne and they got a car home in second (ignoring the post race issues)

Helmets; well I think changing too often is no good but every so often for special races I like it. I remember when Mclaren drivers used to run the special helmets in Monaco (for a sponsor, forget who) with diamonds in them etc. Vettel was taking it a bit far but I think its funny that they made the ruling against helmet changes 'to help fans distinguish the drivers' yet the poll shows the fans are not concerned.

They do put numbers on the cars (well some teams do anyway) it's just that they aren't very big, and often on the top of the nose where you can't see them anyway. They need big light up ones like the WEC cars have

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
