It's that time of the year again and lets look at what we have.

Ferrai, BAR, Mclaren, Renault, Sauber and Toyota have pretty much secured their racing drivers for 05.

The million dollar question. Who will partner mark Webber for 05? IMO, not jungle boy Pizzonia. In race conditions he could not match Webber, and not even touch Montoya. I bet Frank was pulling whatever hair he had left for Ralf to come back. Patrick Head went on record saying he wants a driver capable of winning the F1 crown. Other front runners are DC and old Mika Hakkinen.

Pace your bets for the remaining drives at Williams, Jordan, Minardi, and possibly whoever buys out Jaguar.

Jordan said they will call it quits for a season cause Cosworth are going down the hole. He said they would be back for 06 if possible, but unlikely.

But now Toyota said they would be keen on supplying engines to another team on the grid, and Jordan are linked to this rumor.

What about the concorde agreament if Bernie cant get the right amount of cars for next year?

I hope DC gets the drive for williams, he is the perfect guy for a one year contract, and maybe after that would get a role behind the scene.

Did you hear the Bank of Scotland has a wad of cash in Coulthards back pocket, whoever signs him will get approx 10-15million in sponsorship:)

I dont want to see Pizzonia get the drive, although they are saying he is the favourite for the seat at them moment...arent they having a test day late November? Basically they are going to throw Weber in the seat and look at everbody's times?!?!?!

I cant see Mika getting the drive...thats an even bigger gamble then signing Coulthard...how long has it been since he has driven F1...too long and you would suspect he woudl need plenty of kms in the car.

LOL... cruising around an F1 site i found...

"It is shaping up to be the largest auction in Formula One history...there is even one lot suitable for aspiring F1 team owners, as it includes five Arrows chassis complete with intellectual property rights, relevant drawings, a spares package and a quantity of support equipment."

What do you think SAU, we make a bid, paint them up Red whie and blue and get a Renault engine deal and re-badge the thing Nissan...i dont want the drive, i want to be team manager and scrutineer of the pit girls

that an interesting pit crew... im sure if we got something along those lines we would get more fans/sponsors than ferrari.

If only SAU could generate 100 million dollars a year (minimum) from donations so we could run a team. Id be happy to help you out roy, ill manage the pit crew while you keep any eye on the team :)

one day it'll be a reality...

Mika will NOT be at Williams for 05.

http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/new...106170345.shtml

He's following Alesi and doing DTM.

So who is left...Davidson seems to be mentioned quite a bit :confused: I reckon they should offer Alan Jones a drive, make it an all Australian affair:)

I heard Jordon's getting some big investors from China, since it was such a success in Shanghai.

As for the spare seat at Williams, I reckon Mika would be great for the seat. He's the only driver aside from Schui, that won't complain and actually be really competitive all year round even if he doesnt have the pace. But since he's ruled out, DC or Heidfeld will get a go. I think Frank's going for experience which is why they wont want Davidson.

I would like DC to get the seat but to be honest he's not a World Champ. Reminds me of Ervine, the're only good for a supporting role. He no where near matched the pace of Raikkonen this year and has struggled with Hakkinen in the past. We'll just have to see how it unfolds!

Have to agree with you about DCs results this year. But it all comes back to qualifying, he is hopeless at the one lap stuff, and if you go back the the Mika & DC years, i think he was the equal of Mika. Go back and look at race results, car failures and team orders to pull over, DC was unlucky not to have one of Mikas championships.

If he goes to Williams he will really need to get his head around qualifying...or needs qualifying layout to be changed:)

...Pizzonia was quick the last few days in testing...i think he is most likely to get the seat, butr who knows...noone saw the Button thing coming:(

Reading this thread from Atlas F1

http://forums.atlasf1.com/showthread.php?t...?threadid=73709

Someone translated a Mika interview in Finnish. Sir Frank Williams did contact him and he was going to come back but then backed out. Button was second option but then the contracts review board knocked him back. So I say it's down to three drivers.

Davidson, Heidfeld or DC.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
