Of late, i doubt the driver is the most integral part of the car. His ability on race day i dont think is as important as his ability to develop a car...so if you have a good team of testers?

Todays driver aids mean that a competent steerer can do well in the right car, and great drivers look to be ordinary. Look at MS last year. 2008 will be interesting with the new regs, the empahsis looks to be getting placed back on the driver driving the car

even more reason to snap up the top drivrs now!! before its too late... Mclaren like to wait and see. That attitude shits me, do something now and be ready for once!! An Alonso Kimi team would be one of the greatest partnership since the late 80's early 90's. Saying that im 95% sure Kimi has gone somewhere else for next year. His general attitude this yeah has been one of... "meh, who cares"

I ripped this off the net but its still interesting:

McLaren also refused to comment on whether 30-year-old Montoya's announcement of his NASCAR switch was in breach of contract, or the terms of a reportedly $3.5m price-tag on his early team split.

Wonder what NASCAR is willing to pay him? 3.5 mil is a big hit to take just to leave a couple months early...

I think its hilarious Monty is going to NASCAR-what an embarising way to leave F1-mid season and over to the tin tops-ha ha ha ha ha -Iv always hated him and this has made my week >_<

Thats a bit hard on Montoua. If your a driver and ejoy competition, F1 has got to suck. F1 isnt about racing, its about being a F1 driver. Indy/Nascar etc has to be some of the best racing out there. So to a bloke who wants to beat other drivers not their equipment, it does afford you more opportunity to drive to a victory, not engineer a victory

Not that its important but i ripped this off F1racing.com

FIA bans third cars and shortens qualifying

13 July 2006

The FIA has confirmed that teams will not be allowed to run third cars during Friday practice sessions from next season onwards. At the moment teams that didn't finish last year's championship in the top four are allowed to field a third car in Friday practice.

Basically means mid feild teams like Williams and BMW are fcuked...

OK, could be a media beat up on som eof his comments...but this is a little out of character for Webber!

The car does look terrible, this race last year Webber finished two laps down with a burnt hip....i hate to see Williams go down hill, and Webber leave them, but i have finally run out of patience with Williams, or more to the poitn Sam Michaels...what do you expect from an Engineer that graduated from UNSW :whistling:

f**k i really hope mark goes to renault. as much as renault hold no interest for me they are clearly a very polished, professional team and are working well at the moment. fingers crossed boys. :whistling:

Well i was always a Williams and Benetton guy from when i started watching F1 in about 89/90. So the Ralf days were pretty dark for me and i having Montoya alongside him gave me something to watch, (Button/Fisi werent doing much in the Benttons :()

So i watch these with fond memories of the guy...damn McLaren for killing the enjoyment of driving in F1 for another driver i like.

    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
