Sato gets engine penalty

28 September 2006

Takuma Sato will lose ten places on the starting grid for the Chinese Grand Prix after the team had to replace his Honda engine. Sato used the engine at the Italian Grand Prix but since then the team has discovered a problem which means it has to be changed.

lol... that'll take him from at least 21st to.... 22nd

A japanese company with endorsements from people like paris hilton, penelope cruz

this is how bored i am...

On the upside someone has taken over from Tyrrell as the rightful place for really obscure Japanese sponsors to call home.

Never understood why Zent didn't back the Toyota F1 team, they used to sponsor their Le Mans efforts....

How could you forget big Darryl Eastlake "Oh gees the emotion is written all over his helmet etc etc etc"

In fact the whole channel 9 coverage was great. Alan Jones would rock & up not having even bothered to learn how to pronounce the names of whichever buy drivers Minardi was running that week. Darryl eastlake would chime in with useful offerings like "When you go off & hit the grass you actually accelerate." Ahhh, happy days.

Tyrrell used to have PIAA as a major sponsor, which was obvious enough. Club angle was somewhat more obscure. Would you believe a Japanese manufacturer of underwear? Now that is product placement.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
