yeah, if he was heavy on fuel, bringing him in for a pit stop at that safety car was a bad move. I would have much rather have seen them roll the dice and leave him out.

same with schuey. why didn't they leave massa on track and bring scheuy in, then bring in massa next lap (if still under SC)? I think that desicion may have cost MS this years chamionship as there is no doubt if they had done that, they could have got MS ahead of massa, with alonso in 3rd.

awesome race though, but a shame webber went from 5th to nowhere.

yeah webbers future is looking bleak all 'round. nothing doing for the rest of this year. currently 15th in the championship. driving for a soft drink company next year... it's enough to make you want to cry.

Red Bull were nowhere as well on the weekend. Lets just hope that the lack of development and pace this year translates to a focussed effor ton next years far more competitive car.

Im going to make a prediciton. Webber will be on the podium before the end of the year! Anyone care for a friendly wager? :happy:

thats exactly what i was thinking last night. Red Bull seem to be doing as badly as Willams atm... so why change? But maybe Newey and his underlings have written off this years piece of crap mobile, and are soley focused on making a huge leap forward next year

comedian.... :happy:

nah i fell bad saying that i hope he doesnt pull a podium out of his ass... it somehonw makes me feel un-Australian to bet against him

You might as well make some money in a wager on Webber......at least then he is of some use....next year Webber will be nowhere just like this year

It was another great race, that's 2 in a row now that I have watched entirely. Looks like 'turn 8' let down Schuey all day.

Anyone have any requests of short clips from either qualifying or race?

I would like to see alonso's first few laps as he was off the planet with cold tyres trying to keep up.

Actually the most interesting point (IMHO) is this: Will the big mistake that Schumacher made, ie going off the track in the mid race cost him the world championship.

What I don't understand is why Schumacher didn't back the field up under the safety car before he pitted to allow Massa to get ahead and pit before he got there...at least that way Schumi and Alonso would've pitted at the same time and he would have had a chance to get out ahead of Alonso.

I recall Mclaren doing this a year or so ago with Montoya and Kimi.

In any case, good to see Massa get a win under his belt. He was consistently quick all weekend and deserved his victory.

Just bought my tickets for the Melbourne F1 as they went on sale this morning (ring Ticketek, cant book on the net without a code).

In the Senna stand on the far right hand side at the front, so can see the last 2 corners and down pit straight, woo!

Anyone else heading down to see first hand what Webber can do in a soft-drink can with wheels?

Sounds like you got yourself in quite the good possie there.

Would love to go but don't think it will happen, That soft drink can with wheels is a very very very very rich man, well he has 2 teams on the grid doesn't he and a shite load of sponsorship everywhere else in the world! Webber will definatly beat DC as the old box jaw is def on his way out!

i will probably be there. got the 'buy some tickets' invite about 4 weeks ago. They always send us one early for the first release. will most likely be in the brabham stand, inside of turn 1.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
