schuey is the f**king man. no doubt about it. I sooo hope he can take out the WDC one last time. It's just so sad that after 2 more races we will never get to see him race an F1 car. especialy considering he is still the class of the field. look at qualifying, the next bridgestone runner was webber in 14th!! sure massa did quali 10th but still...

maybe he will end up in DTM with frentzen and hakkinen and some of the other past F1 drivers. that would be interesting.

that was an awesome race, loved the pass as fisi was coming out!! looked like schumacher was making some risky passing chances with the car on and off wet patches all the time, was awesome to watch!

alonso looked pretty pissed off after the race... schumi was sort of going to say congrats and alonso just stormed off! not very nice, so sucked in alonso, you lost, handle it wanker!

i also really hope that schumi can win this final year, he looks excited at the challenge rather than worried which is a good sign :D

im really pissed off i never ended up going to watch the f1 now that schumacher is leaving!! DAMMIT!!!!

i hope that happens as Alonso would be even more pissed....

i meant between Sato and schumi... but yeah, i suppose Alonso is in there with a chance aswell... btw, loved Sato's move in turn one on his team mate, very professional

the hairpin on the final lap was another fantastic example of his talent...

Sato disqualified, Albers punished

yeah that was f**ked up with heidfeld, sato, rubens, button and de la rosa. when i saw it unfold I thought webber was about to move up about 4 spots up the finishing order! Sato is a nutter. I think he must have had a bit of brain fade and forgotten the fact that he was a lap down. cause he was trying to mix it up, or perhaps he was trying to take one for honda and hold up heidfeld so that button could get the move done. on top of that rubens came storming in like a mad man. It looked to me like he wouldn't have made the hairpin anyway cause he absolutely nailed the back of heidfeld.

alonso looked like a kid missing a lolly at the end. dirty f**ker. i hope he does loose it on countback after they are tied on points.

shame that massa was pretty much MIA all weekend. even without the penalty he would have been only 10th on grid. also a shame that kimi wasn't there to get between MS and alonso. and funny how no-one questions renault team orders of fisi slowing right down over the last 15 laps in order that alonso could catch and pass him easily.

if you could give Sato one reprieve, its that he had four cars hurtling towards him, all trying moves down the inside. In my opinion i think Button saw what was going to happen and intentionally squeezed hiedfeld behind Sato and poor Rubinio really had nowhere to go...

still either way you look at it... its all a Hondas fault

hahah glad someone said it. no one seems to want to mention 'team orders' when its anyone but ferrari :(

I just finished watching the race just then, but I had stayed away from everything so as not to know the result.

Great race! I was getting excited at a few stages throughout it, but had to control myself...i'm always on the edge of my seat until MS actually crosses the line and wins. Not that it often does for ferrari, but there's just so many little things that can go wrong when you think its over, and that'd be it.

I love how MS looks like he's just one his first GP each and everytime he wins one. awesome stuff

just amazing.. 91 grand prix wins and he would do any toyota ad proud :P

that was a great race, this year has been an absolute cracker. i've got hungary and the sphincter of the universe captured to DVD and i'm capping this race as well.

If only every race was a wet/dry race it ads so much action.

Kinks I have on DVD:

Rnd1 - Bahrain Race

Rnd4 - San Marino Qual

Rnd5 - European Qual

Rnd6 - Spanish Qual

Rnd7 - Monaco Qual

Rnd8 - British Qual

Rnd8 - British Race

Rnd9 - Canadian Race

Rnd10 - Indianapolis Qual

Rnd10 - Indianapolis Race

Rnd11 - French Qual

Rnd11 - French Race

Rnd12 - German Race

Rnd13 - Hungary Qual

Rnd13 - Hungary Race

Rnd14 - the sphincter of the universe Qual

Rnd15 - Italy Qual

Rnd15 - Italy Race

Rnd16 - China Qual

Rnd16 - China Race

..all are iTV broadcasts and im sure I have more somewhere but cbf looking for the DVD's.

ill 2nd that....V8/Champ cars going to Ch7 and I wish F1 would to

Next GP i'm gunna try www.sopcast.org, they stream a heap of international tv channels over the net. Apprarently CCTV5 show all ITV coverage live, including qualifying.

    • 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
