You have to look at the times in context. I understand Fisi already had a days testing under his belt, so by his second day he was probably on a different program to Heiki.

The Aguri cars will be underweight, light on fuel, and probably last years Honda which they are using to get tyre data with...well thats my 2c anyway

Based solely on this test result I am predicting a Super Aguri 1 - 2 result in Melbourne.

Better get on the bandwagon now, Roy. Before it leaves town.

true, the lap record for Jerez is a mid 1:16 and they're all way, WAY off that. Still Kovalainen is a ways of Fisi's pace, and you know he not the fastest cookie out there. Its looking more and more like a red 07

But if they are running on this years tyres, how would they even get close to the record?

Sure, wipe off Heiki already. :)

Lets say i was a team owner. I wouldnt have my two drivers doing the same programs. I would have one geu comign to grips with tyre testing, whilst the other tests aero parts, endurance runs to get an idea of the life of new components on the new chassis. There isnt any reason to be running drivers to the same program.

You want to understand what makes the tyres work, how changes to the car work...all whislt still getting plenty of kms done...so its prety obvious you cant compare times

I understand that RBR are rolling out there cars for some testing today. Be interesting to see how they go when we read about it tonight.

Webber is saying he is expecting podiums whilst Newey is talkign down expectations, sayign to wait for 2008. [Crosses fingers]

Greece are one step closer to securing a race.

As; "Developments over recent months seem to suggest the Greek government is in favour of a race that could help boost tourism, one of the country's main sources of income. Plans are afoot for a possible circuit sited an hour from Athens."

My question to you people is; Will they/should they include it as part of an 18 race calender

or

Replace an existing track? If so what would you like to see go?

And as we all know we will be seeing the inaugural Japanese GP at Fuji Speedway. Should be interesting!

For my 10 cents worth I wish they would replace the Albert Park circuit. It has to be THE most boring circuit for F1 racing anywhere - even the track in Hungary is better.

    • 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
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
