Well that is fine, but do you remember how crap Detroit was?

Or the Las Vegas GP that they ran in a car park (I shit you not)

oh do i what. Bumpier than a herpes outbreak. check this footage out in detroit in the wet. I know its only eddie cheever but damn hes got some skills. At around the one minute mark is especially good. cant believe he caught it.

I know they werent ideal but racing on those surfaces added a great element of excitement to the sport. Street tracks will always be more real and ballsier to race on. And damn good fun to watch too.

i know this is never going to happen because bernie is now more interested in the money he gets from the sport than the sport itself but wouldnt you like to see adelaide back on the calender? I know i would..for more than just sentimental reasons. Not 1 person ive ever spoken to had a bad thing to say about the place. F1 loved adelaide and adelaide loved f1...sniff..sniff

Lewis Hamilton secured his first pole position with a demoralising, at least for Alonso, lap time of 1 min 15.707 that will surely give him his biggest chance for his first win in F1...Alonso dropped the ball at the final chicane and weaved across the line in frustration knowing Hamilton had him and there was nothing he could do about it.

Personally i couldnt be happier for Lewis... Hes not just going to win races but championships with them..

lets hope Canada will see the start of that.

great Quali, awesome action and good to see Webbo up in 6th for redbull.

i cant believe the start hes had. I havent seen anything like this since i started watching F1 when i was 7 years old..

truly a supernatural but I think id put him in the shade if i had the chance! :):P

Richard i was thinking of uploading that exact vid a couple of days ago, instead loading up the detroit vid of cheever in the wet..

that turbo hauls major ass though...

those were the good old days..

Hamilton wins! what an unbelievable race. F1 rookie takes his first win, outclasses illustrious teammate and leads the drivers championship. Alonso makes an ass of himself no less than 8 times, Massa and Fisichella blackflagged, Raikkonnen nowhere, 10 second stop and goes galore, botched pit strategies, a super aguri passing the world champ in the final laps for 6th position(!!), the other missing out on points because of a hit and run on an animal on the track (??), and the worst accident i have ever seen anyone walk away from, EVER without so much as even a broken bone...It such a testament to the strength of the modern F1 monocoque. If that were any other F1 era Kubica wouldve been killed instantly.

Contrary to previous reports Kubica did not sustain a broken leg. He will apparantly be released from hospital today.

i cant wait for next week.

Woohoooo go Heidfeld.

have to say the Williams is a surprise. Good to see Super Aguri well and truly kicking Honda's arse :)

HAHA i just noticed that they have changed location for the Japanese race.

Looks like i missed out on an interesting race :) That was a massive accident, good to hear he is ok

why were Fisichella and Massa black flagged??

Edited by Whiplash

fisi and massa exited the pits when the red pit exit light was lit (safety car in the vicinity), kubica was waiting for the lights to go green when both drove around him.

i don't understand why webber didn't pit during that final safety car period as soon as the pit window opened. it cost him championship points. he could easily have finished right near the front.

Woohoooo go Heidfeld.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
