Just spotted on the net V8 supercars are no longer at sandown looks at though it's going to Phillip Island (PI 500)

I wounder if the melbourne race club will close the car track now that there is little money coming in ?

I agree with Kev, if anything, the removal of the 500 from Sandown will help make more money for the VRC as ther track can be hired out for more weekends.

What may close down the racetrack are noise/nuisence complaints from the locals, most of whom moved in after the track was built.

people that complain about the track knowing full well when they moved in that they had a circuit next door are total idiots :ninja:

WTF would they move in if they didn't like motorsport!?!!!? :P

i wish i lived next to a track :)

I looked at some of the house that where built on the land next to the track as an investment property, and was told by the real estate agent to not worry about the noise from the track (I didn't mention that I was a MS fan) as the complaints to the council and EPA would have the track shut down in a few years. I also overheard the guy saying the same thing to other people there, so maybe that's why the bought in.

their tough luck....i reckon we should get like 30 imports with huge exhausts one day, and just keep going around the track....all day and all night...just to piss those wankers off..... :ninja:

teach them to buy houses next to a track and then complain....

Hear that the Melbourne Racing Club is in negotiations with the Australian Motorsports Club to contract out the administration and operations of motor-business at Sandown. It is alleged that internal feasibility studies conducted by the MRC see no value in trying to run a class of business they have no knowledge of. A formal, joint MRC / AMC (Calder) announcement regarding future operations of motor-business at Sandown is expected before the end of the year?!?!?!?!

I think a lot of the rumours have started because of the Davidson management coming to an end. I understand the MRC are leaving the organisation of officials, emergency services and so on to the client who rents the circuit. But its business as usual. Whole lot of rumours that the Calder guys and AMRS/AASA guys are looking at changing events to include Sandown

I have also read tales of Calder Park allegedly been successful in securing a government grant of $9 million for works & infrastructure improvements?!?!?!?!?!?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
