Well that's just it. How can you compare any driver from Ferrari, Williams, Mclarens, Renault or BAR on equal terms with a Jag? If Webber can get P2 in a sh*tty Jag then that's DAMN well impressive.

I dont presume to know everything about F1, but to think the only forces at play are driving ability is pretty silly:(

Sometimes you cant even compare drivers in the same team for politicial reasons. Think back to when Montoya and Lowndes were team mates. Not saying Lowndes is equal the driver, but it helps if the engineers and the drivers can actually speak the same language:(

It will be great to see what he can do next season- he's pulled off some sensational drives in some pretty unsensational cars.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see him in the running for the world championship (provided we get rid of that shoe bloke!)

Remember when webber finished 6th at melbourne when he was with minardi. That effort deserves a chance at williams as the minardi car is so uncompetitive its not funny.
It helps when a dozen of the top cars infront of you are forced out of the race.

If you ask me Webber was an 8-10th place racer in the Jag and I think in 2005 he'll move up to a 5-7th place finisher (or 3-4th if you take out the Ferrari's) for the season.

I think Webber will grab a podium finish at the Aussie GP in 2005.

I hope Heidfeld grabs the other spot at Williams, Pizzonia will only complain about Webber having a better car when he's getting dominated by the Aussie. It'll be a good tussle this year if Williams get their car right, with the issues other teams are having hopefully it'll work to an advantage for Webber.

That doesnt change the fact that he scored points in a car that rarely finishes races let alone points.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
