yes, last night's race was classic schumacher. behind on the grid, and in the first segment, then sure enough had more fuel than those ahead of him. stayed out with clear track when they pitted, put the hammer down, and as usual in-lap was a blinder, pit stop was good, rejoins in first place. hold it to the end.

nice to see alonso cop a bit of bad luck for a change :) hehe

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha fcuk off and dont come back!!!!! i dont care if he goes out on top, or the bottom, sideways or even fcuking upside down... as long as he goes!! Good on him for all he achieved, espicially for dragging a shamozzel like Ferrari was, kicking and screaming into a winning team... hopefully now they go back to the good old days of Ferrari infighting and instability.

On a dissapointing note, i dont think i saw even 1 second of Webbo last night!! typical broadcast of focusing on two certain cars... as if the track isnt uneventful enough

Im Glad he is retiring now while he is on top and not hanging on too long. MS has liftted the F1 scene to new levels in many ways and got non F1 peeps talking about the sport and no one will ever beat his 7 world champoinships (maybe 8 if this year works out) . He has done amaing things for the Prancing Horse. Now all the 2nd rate drivers(Joking) like Kimi have a chance at the title next year. Ferrari FTW...Thanks MS :)

PS I hope Fkn Alonso expires in a firery mess in the next few races and MS takes out number 8 champoinship :no:

And no Webber coverage last night ......then again who cares.....when it comes to the bigger F1 picture Webber is a true underachiever and will fade out of the sport in a few years, while never achieving a fkn thing.

What did everyone think of alonso's penalty for "apparantly" holding up Massa? Personally any faith I had in F1 being a true sporting series where the best man wins, has completely gone out the door.

I heard somewher that it was the Italian race stewards that decided the penalty. is this true? If yes, then this has to be the most blatant form of cheating i am yet to see.

Absolutely love Schuey, and respect everything he's achieved as a driver, but give Alonso a break. The kid is a freak of a driver and if current form continues throughout his career and is in a decent car, I have no doubt he'll be remembered later on as on the same level as schuey if not better.

my thoughts on his penalty are the same as most motorsport sites and many fans... and you can sum it up like this

Ferrari Internationale de l'Automobile

Like Alonso said "this is not racing"...

That sums up all of F1 :)

yeah, go the pole. good to see a countryman of mine doing well. :)

The penalty against alonso did sound a bit iffy, but i didn't see it so can't comment. Either way his car let him down.

not sure who you can believe in the noble sport of F1, but Alonso commented that the engine let go because he was pushing so hard to make up places.

Given how reliable the car has normally been, I kind of think his comments have some truth to em.

Not going at you Nismo, but I wish that the commentators would actually read the damn stewards report. The blocking was not in the later parts of the lap, it was when FA came out of the pits that he was penalised for blocking FM.

It's just like the two stewards who decided that MS had deliberately blocked the track in Monaco where Spanish, if you place the nationality card for the FA penalty, then the same can apply for the MS one.

blackrex, if that was the case then I didn't see the part where he came out the pits so disregard my comments. Unfortunately I made the mistake of believeing our world class commentators who showed FA miles in front of Massa, and said that this was the incident the penalty was referring too.

On another note, how much did you want to slap diffy, for spoiling Michael's speach and anouncing his retirement before we heard from schuey. :P

and why wasn't Alonso penalised for cutting the chicane as shown in one of benm's videos? He clearly gained a position by braking late (too late) and going straight across the grass.

Alonso wasn't penalised simply because he was ahead BEFORE he tried to turn into the chicane. Which is to say, for exactly the same reason that Schumacher wasn't penalised in Hungary. Doesn't stop the decision being a stupid one on both accounts, however...

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
