Everyone knows Schumie is "the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be" :spank:

"People don't understand how good he is. To beat Michael in equal equipment isn't possible, to beat him in better equipment is, thats what Hill did, what Villieneuve did and what Hakkinen did..." Eddie Irvine...

I'm VERY one eyed.

Schumey's good, but how can you compare him to Senna, Prost or Fangio? Senna was a freak and give him a crap car and he too will give you a good run for your money. I reckon these 2 are on par. Prost is a champion in the turbo era and the post-turbo era. Driving the old turbo cars, you need balls of steel cause 1000bhp is not easy to tame. Fangio, need I say, the man who came up with the modern racing techniques.

But the biggest arguement I have is if you have the backing of an entire team, of course you will do very well.

I was waiting for that...

Not completely true. Duncan as a racer yourself and I race karts at state and club level, there is no way in the world you'd risk race points or a possible win by overtaking a damaged car...excatly what Hill did.

Villeneuve, Shumacher admitted he did it and stated that it was his biggest regret in F1

Various Coulthard accounts...Coulthard doesn't count..hehehe

I think he races hard, on the fineline, but not as bad as some make it out to be...

But then again, I think the bloke is amazing...

Those incidences put me off Schuey completely. Thought he was a real champ till he rammed Hill of. In my books, Hill is 2 time champ. JV incident, made me see satin in him.

No doubt he's the best of this generation. His brother.... well.... I doubt he will reach Michael's hights.

The debate still rages about Senna, it doesn't deserve an answer I think out of respect to the great man Senna was...I personally dislike the comment that Senna was pushing too hard trying to compete with Schumacher.

Fangio, well its uncomparable, its a different era, we're talking about time here when team orders meant to pull your car in and give it to the lead driver if his car was not performing or damaged!

Still based on the points scored/poduims view...Shumacher is a clear cut winner, with the added bouns he hasn't always had the best car, and took on a Ferrari drive when they where far from teh best team.

As far as I know, Prost and Senna always had cars capable of obtaining a top 3 finish.

I dont admire Hill very much but respect him for what he tried to do, which no one has ever done before. He went from a top team to shit bottom crap team as world champ? and he almost succeeded in a win at Silverstone, England if it wern't for mechanical failure. Alot of people overlook him and i think he deserves more credit than he gets.

Its in italy.... i know where the smart money is... plus, added bonus of the italian mafia making sure a ferrari wins.

By the way, Hill was booted from Williams before he won the world championship...from memory... had no choice but arrows (?!)

Hill won the championship in 96 and should of been in 94!

Senna didnt always have the best car, 88 yes but no other year was he in the clear cut favourite. Those days it was more even racing. Im sick of hearing of how Schumacher wasnt always in the best car!

Gr8 race once again. I love this new rule cause qualifying means almost jack and you actually get to see cars slice and dice! And I'm re-learning what "overtaking" is again... :)

Congrats to Schuey on a well deserved win, and for performing especially when dealing with the loss of his mother.

Webber, well.... What can I say? Bad start only to recover a little then the Jag going POP.

Hey, I think we were watching different races! I only saw one overtaking manouver all night - barricello on r schumaker coming onto the straight. The rest was m schumaker driving away and mistakes in the pits.

I was dissappointed, I love watching close racing and dicing, and this race wasn't that.

Having said that, maybe there was better racing elsewhere in the field, I think they only showed 6 cars all race

It's not the ontrack overtaking. It's more the pit stop stratagy I like. But love when they bang wheels overtaking too (not jerez 97 style though...)

Everyone thought that the macs we're slow cause of their qualifying stuff-ups but on race day it was a different story.

The mclarens is a developed version of last years car. Last year they used the mp4-17a/b/c specs. This year they used the d spec car.

The ferrari is still a quick car, only it was driver errors which let ferrari down until the san marino.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
