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!!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
