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.

cant wait for 07 now tho...

why blame ferrari.

even Alonso said, he didnt blame ferrari...

at the end of the day its not just motorsport at this level ...

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...

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
