am I the only one that hates neil crompton's commentary?

He shits me too! He makes a very good pit reporter (like he was back at 7), but just dosn't have the personality to be a commantator. iTV are starting to get annoying with the button humping (but no worse than the Aus commentators and Webber humping), I recon he has to wear waders when he speaks to them

I like Cromley!!

even when he's being technical he explains it well... and I like how he's calm and sensible and doesnt get over excited or carry on like a wanker. Daryl Eastlake used to shit me to tears...

i forgot all about the race, I was at Duncans on Sunday and didnt get back to Canberra till 11pm... totally forgot dammit :(:laugh:

Somewhat telling is the difference between top end speeds at the end of the main straight. By way of just one example the Ferrari had an 11km/h better terminal speed than the McLaren. What the hell are they doing at Mercedes? Did the get the F1 engines mixed up with the diesels they put into the E class taxis?????

Crompto is the best Australian commentator we currently have, i really hope Ch7 grabs him for next years V8SC otherwise it could be very dull.

Cromly going no where -sorry

Good to see Webber finished the year in fine style and this race basically represented his last 2 years at Williams-DNF ha ha. This whole Williams fiasco has destroyed any chance of Mark ever really getting to the top. I hope a thousand fleas invest the ass crack of all who work at Williams and crappy Cosworth.

Remember Ferrari gave Shu a magic going away engine. Not massa though.

really? because their quali times were quite similar...

Qualifying Speedtrap Interlagos

Don't forget that Schumacher spent half his time being towed down the straights and overtaking them into the following corner.... how many people slipstreamed Schuey and overtook him?

i think they were all too busy being nostalgic and letting him pass...

not that it really matters anyway :sorcerer:

To me the extra speed he had down the straights was much more than just being towed along. It looked like the Ferraris had a substantial straight line speed advantage. Maybe they turned the wick up on Schumachers car to help secre the teams championship trophy. If they did they didn't miss by much.

I was just going by what was ont he tellie the other night.

Super Aguri has come good at last. Just in time for.... oh damn. :P

Super Aguri will have Jensons car from brazil + some extras... and considering jensons pace, that isnt to shabby

they wont be serial backmarkers for much longer

This is the reason i like Kimi... he is in this sport for himself.

He couldnt care less what happens around him, he is only concerned about his car, his own performance and his chances of winning. I am convinced that after the three year contract with Ferrari runs out... he's gone.

Pre-race interview with Kimi Räikkönen :mad:

Ok guys, it would appear that throughout the course of the F1 racing year, you have all managed at some time to commit character assasinations of most of the F1 Teams, F1 management, Cars, Drivers, Designers and just about anything or anyone associated with the Grand old *sport* of F1. As an avid reader of this topic and believe me it is better than reading a Phantom (Ghost Who Walks, Man who Cannot Die) comic, there have been so many twists and turns that I think they should make a movie out of the sport of F1. What's that? They already have I heard someone say!!! Damn there goes another great idea!

Anyway guys, it has been a fantastic read (mobs of laughs) and can we now start the 2007 thread as I'm sure there will be plenty of script available during the off season/pre-season.

Top Secret Post Script hot off the rumour mill. BE has agreed to sell the Brabham F1 naming rights to Craig Pollock!

Ok, ok I just made that up but it makes nice reading.

Cheers

Thats the first hint of personality i've seen from the ice man

F1 is basically soap opera for blokes. If you want a movie about grand prix racing try Grand Prix. Hopelessly melodramatic in the 60's tradition, but worth a look.

Muz, hate to dissuade you but BE doesn't own the rights to Brabham any more. Nothing wrong with the rumour other than that. Heard the one about Colin Chapman coming back from exile in South America to reform Team Lotus? Young Andretti will be driving for him. Cosworth motors. :P

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
