too late now, but ive been using Ace Stream, you install a program like vlc and it plays through it, you can go back to earlier footage if you want, i tend to wind back a minute so it has more time to prebuffer the stream. I think it does take a lot of download though so youll need a decent plan

for next time guys

Hm google reckons that app is malware, interesting. think i'll give it a miss just in case :P

Refuelling and free tyre choice.. that is good. Let's bring back more common sense.....

Currently F1 has too many rules, and is so restrictive. Then they try and manufacture a show that is fake and boring. Prime example: DRS just makes passing a done deal. It's boring. Movable aero should get thrown out, or let everyone do it all of the time (ie to defend as well as pass). You can fiddle with the levels all you like but at the end of the day it's a band-aid that gives the guy behind an advantage that is decided by a committee. It's not 2 guys on a track with the same equipment dueling it out.

I recently watched the 2006 Hungarian race and it was epic. The cars with their beautiful V10s howled, the wings were low and wide, tyres gripped. Yeah, they had traction control (not a fan).. and some time around then grooved tyres came in which was a bit silly.. but the show wasn't as farcical as it is now. I don't even bother watching highlights. Who cares. Drivers aren't racing each other flat out, they are just playing a car management game. I feel really genuinely sorry for those who have taken their whole lives and worked their way through the ranks to be fed this horse shit formula.

Not sure if the reports are accurate but it looks like the limits on fuel flow rate and total fuel usage will remain so I don't see the point in fuel stops or plans to make more noise with higher revs??

yeah thats what i read too and it confused me too...

i guess fuel flow in the pits stops will determine if its worth an extra second or two will be gained by being lighter through out the race...

it also adds more risk in the pit stops though...

Also yeah the DRS things a bit stupid, Kers worked a bit better because both had the option to use/save it...

But yeah nothing beats the aero of the mid 2000's, such beautiful cars

Watching P2 and feeling jealous on two counts.

1) I'm not there and driving

2) I'm too old, "so Jolyon, when you won GP2 did you also get invited to the Prince Albert dinner party as per F1 guys?", "Nah, had to fly back to UK and sit my exam on the Monday"

Just opened Autosport site and what a confused joke F1 is. Bernie back in court being sued...team owners drivers or complaining about different things...surveys about what fans want....it all looks farking ridiculous!

[sigh]

It is farking ridiculous. Teams going bust and massive inequality in income distribution and their way to fix it is to go back to refueling. Genius.

The racing has been pretty good. I did the survey....told them what i think. 60% of cash needs to go equally to all teams and remaining 40% based on WCC position.

Loosen engine freeze and introduce front wing freeze where they only get 6 wing types and floors per season. Ridiculous they limit engines...making them more costly to engineer but they can spend hundreds of thousands of hours on a wing they may not do more than a practice session. Also need 3rd cars for P1 and P2 that young / test drivers run and are free for testing limiting wind tunnel time etc. by bringing 60 hours of in season, cheap testing to every season whilst having more cars on the track.

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
