San Marino and European Grand Prix dropped

29 August 2006

The FIA today announced the calendar for next season and caused a stir by the omission of the the European Grand Prix and San Marino Grand Prix. The Belgian Grand Prix is back on the World Championship tour after being out for one year for necessary upgrades to be compelted

The 2007 calendar counts a total of 17 races. There is a four-week gap between the Bahrain Grand Prix and Spanish Grand Prix, which seems to indicate that if Imola officials can complete improvement work in time that it could find a place back on the schedule.

The approved 2007 Formula 1 calendar:

Australia March 18

Malaysia April 08

Bahrain April 15

Spain May 13

Monaco May 27

Canada June 10

United States June 17

France July 01

United Kingdom July 08

Germany July 22

Hungary August 05

the sphincter of the universe August 26

Italy September 09

Belgium September 16

China September 30

Japan October 07

Brazil October 21

So close to fcuking off the San Marino GP for good... damn it.

At least We're first again and Spa is back!!!

Everyone is going on about Michael losing the 2006 chapionship due to the The land of goat sphincter rings race results.

What about the fact that Alonso didn't even finish the Hungarian GP and Michael only scored 1 point? That's where the championship was lost, not at the sphincter of the universe.

i liked it much better this year with melbs NOT being the first race. It gives us a chance to see what things are looking like for the year, and I reckon drums up more interest. Plus it gives me a better idea who to waste money on at the TAB.

i think I'll probably wait till after the MS announces his plans for next year before booking tickets. if he is coming back I'm in 100%

He will announce his retirement at Monza :/

I like Melbourne later in the year to-gives the champoinship time to settle before it gets here :O

thats encouraging for webber... not so much for Mclaren or Toyota though

Times relative to Rosberg at one test doesn't mean anything. The encouraging thing is that a Williams was out in front (low fuel + new tyres?).

Mark has belted Rosberg all year, so one test on what were certainly different setups means nothing.

exactly... if they can top a test session on the second day then the car is capable of good things at least. Come race day im sure webber will put Rosberg back in his place

Schumi's future will be known September 10

Michael Schumacher's future will definitely be known on September 10, immediately after the Italian Grand Prix, when Ferrari announces their 2007 driver line-up!!

:P:D ... :sorcerer:

the merry-go-round finally had an end in sight!! where is kimi going, whats happening to Massa, is schuni gone for good, who partnering Alonso in 07.... the list goes on!! finally now i can sleep at night...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
