good on you

if i got sucked into what ivan was trying to get me to do...i would've flipped out

instead i sat here laughing at the fact that he's so much of a die hard mclaren fan, that he doesnt care that his team got beaten by 2 other teams, just that ferrari got beaten....he's a pretty hard core mclaren fan ay :laugh:

How boring was the Silverstone race? And it was all pumped-up to be a nice three-way battle between Kimi, Michael and Alonso.

Renault are simply unbeatable at the moment. You know Alonso isn't hitting full pace when he's got a 10-12 second lead. He just maintains it. So if Mike or Kimi manage to keep up with him, it won't be for long.

Not that I swing towards any one team - I've been watching F1 for too long to have favorites. But I can tell when one team has it hands down, and that's the case for the moment.

One interesting point however is to think about where Renault was 2-3 years ago (e.g. nowhere). Now look at them- they're unstoppable. Makes you wonder which team will be next to follow suit? You might laugh at some of the backmarker teams now, but you would have been chuckling at Renault some time ago as well.

Interesting to bear in mind...

dezz and ctjet, please cease posting OT. this is getting old. this thread is here to discuss the 2006 F1 season, not whether or not one of you has a better team to support. it's bringing the thread down, so please stop it.

ohh, harsh words azz! I dont know what it is but i just dont like alonso? tall poppy syndrome maybe? it was funny though, 2005 at melbourne and you couldnt find a renault supporter for love or money, 2006 and it was a sea of blue and yellow... mmm everyone does love to be on the winning team!

im really a david coulthard fan!!!

and the best thing that could of happened to him was being dropped by Mclaren.

even though he aint doing the greatest.

its amazing how many people follow the winning team!

i guess thats why so many people follow MS cause if he isnt winning he is dam close.

Ah not me-Ive been Tifosi forever. Always been in the Red army since i was 5yrs old-lol

What has Webber got to do to finish a race??? He must have broken a mirror cause he is in the middle of some serious bad luck

I think Webber will get there and so will Cosworth if they keep there heads down and steer clear of all the internet forums saying he should tell Williams to piss off haha! Like people have said where was Renult 3 years ago, they had reliability issues but had promise, thats what Williams has now, so heres to hoping Webber can get up there casue not being biased I think he is one of the very best drivers in that series, as good as the MS, Alonso's, or Kimi's, started to prove that at Monaco to, damn car!!!

So, i wait to see if Williams have signed a Toyota deal. If so, who is your money on goign to Toyota?

Willit be Wurz or Rosberg farmed out to Toyota? I have a sneaking feeling that Rosberg will end up somewhere else next year. I first thought it would possibly be Renault, but now not so sure, perhaps it will be Toyota.

And if Williams are to give up the Cossie powerplants, i would so love it to be for a Renault engine. Problem is it wont likely happen as Renault will be charging a pretty penny for the customer engine, something Frank wont like. But they have recent history together...but im dreaming.

I still say Rosberg will vacate hsi seat for Wurz :D

please let williams stick with cosworth i really think in the next few years cosworth V8s will be their 'ace in the hole'. buying customer engines off a factory F1 team is a sure fire way to get yourself pegged between 10th and 5th but never any higher.

I agree with Beer Baron, I don't like Alonso either. Maybe for the same reason too (tall poppy syndrome), or that it's because he keeps on winning and makes it look easy.

Maybe if the winner of each race varied somewhat, it would allow us to pick a favorite and go with him. I'm a Kimi man myself...

Well i use to like Alonso, he seemed to be a good style of charactoer when he was on the cusp. In 2005 i was walkign around the Aus GO wanting to buy Renault gear, or RBR gear and couldnt find any. 18 months later im glad i couldnt as the team have turned out to be a bunch of c0ck knockers...even Fisi has gone bad :whistling:'

Oh well, crosses fingers that Tom Walkinshaw willk get back into Renault and turn it back into a team i like :P

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
