Massa is quick again. Only he cant translate his practice and quali pace to dominant race performances. One to two races a season isnt going to cut it :)

On a good note, Louise binned it :) Looked tol be a bit of a silly mistake. It will be interesting to see if he cxan get back in teh seat and qualify well in the spare tub. Hopefully he qualifies a few spots down so it will help make for an interesting race

from memory there are no spare tubs this year. They mentioned something during the Melbourne telecast that the drivers only have their 1 chassis all weekend, the teams are still bringing the "spare" car to the rounds but only to steal parts from

I read that he has switched to the spare tub. I think they have banned spare cars, but you can still cart a spare tub as its only a component. Albeit a major one. I think Sutil did the same thing is Aus when he damaged the Force Idia chassis in practice and had to use a new tub

Wow. I replayed the section of the video ( at 2:53 ) where theres the incar and all the engine noise and every time, that sickening crunch made my hair stand on end. He was in 4th gear, flat out, just about to change into 5th, so he was definitely moving. Thats a hard impact.

How was that dumbass marshal who had his back to the crash?! Ahaha, did he get the shock of his life. There was only literally 1 or 2 metres of barrier between him and a coffin.

What caught my eye was that he Hammo had both his hands turning in toward the impact, like he knew what he had to do. What also amazes me is that he was in control one split second and then within a blink of the eye hes driving a canoe.

Respect teh drivers.

Jeez Lewis had some hang-time between looping it and hitting the barrier. He was a complete passenger before he'd even left the track.

Was the heck is the infield coated in? Weird sounding that was- kinda like WAAAAAAHHHmmmmmmmmmmSkreeeessshhhhhhhh...CRUNCH!

GO THE POLE! he is still 6:1 at the TAB so I guess they know he must be light too. but still anytime you get the poll man at 6:1 it could be worth getting a few bucks on.

oh god, hamilton your utter luck of any technical knowledge is now comming back to bit you in the arse hard... no amount of itv bullshit propaganda can save you now

very well done to BMW tho, im sure they're impressing everyone in the paddock with that kind of pace

Max: More of Ze Punishment!

Sunday 6th April 2008

Following last week's revelations by the News of the World about Max Mosley's sex life, you might have thought Max would have been in for an easier Sunday.

Not a bit of it. "My Nazi Orgy With F1 Boss" reads the front page headline

This week, the NoW has him front page again, along with transcripts from the tapes made during his alleged five-hour orgy in what has been described as "a London sex dungeon". Though Max himself believes it all to be a disgusting conspiracy and that what he does in his private should be allowed to stay private, the newspaper reveals more evidence behind their claim that the orgy had Nazi connotations.

Whether the newspaper can ultimately prove this in court and whether Max would actually want to go to court and stand in the witness box and tell the world about his sexual longings are unknown right now. But what IS known is that the NoW internet site, along with You Tube downloads of the video are doing massive business.

In fact so numerous are the hits on the site, that it has become victim of the Rick'n' Roll craze (you hit a link and instead of what you expected, you get a video of Rick Astley dancing) Max is becoming a figure of fun. And you can't have motorsport run by a figure of fun. Even though Jean-Marie Balestre tried his hardest.

Who will want to stand next to him in photos? Certainly not the Crown Prince of Bahrain.

During the latest round of revelations it is claimed that Max did yell out commands in German:

MOSLEY (in German): Get up! So, little one, it's your turn now. Get over here. Down with your panties.

LEAH: What's your problem? I don't even understand what you are saying?

MOSLEY (in German): Are you going to behave now? Are you going to be good now? So now she is going to behave. OK, I think we should **** you now.

But bizarrely, not content with real German, he tries speaking English with a comedy German accent as though he were in the classic British sitcom 'Allo 'Allo yelling "Zey need more of ze punishment I think!"

It is the combination of prison-like activity - searching for lice through Mosley's hair - the elements of German camps, girls wearing stripey, pyjamas/suits - plus the administration of torture, speaking German that add up to a credible storyline for the paper to run.

In terms of theatre of the absurd the scenario isn't exactly Springtime for Hitler in Germany, it's more like a very poor S&M amateur drama video. You won't be seeing this one at the Porn Oscars. (If you go, that is)

The paper claim that since the story was run last week that he'd used private eye intermediaries to try and contact all the hookers involved to get them to testify that it didn't have a Nazi theme. So when the FIA stated that Max was too busy working on his legal case to go to the Bahrain GP, it maybe should have said: the Crown Prince doesn't want to meet him and anyway he's too busy going though his phonebook.

(Working on your legal case sounds far more noble than going through cards you picked up in Soho phone boxes)

If what the paper says is true, how would he know the contact details of all five hookers/dominatrixes involved? Surely this was a one-off moment of madness, not a regular sordid affair...

There is a monumental load of pressure bearing down on Mosley now, and like Caesar he looks destined to be felled in a flurry of blows any time soon. Honda, BMW, Toyota and Mercedes have found against him, the Dutch, German and American motoring bodies, too. We've not even heard from the more conservative cultures of the world.

Even that bastion of liberal thinking the Caravan Club have said Max is no longer welcome at the FIA.

Does Max really want more of ze punishment?

much like the schum, we'll see you piss off a little earlier than you expected maxy baby

dont let the door hit your fascist arse on the way out k

Go MASSA! silent the haters with that great driving

awesome race!

also f*k off ITV, Lewis f**ked himself and couldn't come back don't blame Fernando, just because lewis can't drive and forgot you have to go around the car to pass it not up the backside of it

Ferrari 1, 2!!!!!

also great work by BMW, 3 horse race now :)

LOL i was listening to that as well, they were pretty adament about wanting to know who's fault it was. You can hear their lack of enthusiasm once their golden boy was out of contention

British media is soooo fickle...

Yeah! Great drive from Massa, he needed that.. Good to see him keep it together and not do something amature'ish...

Great pass by Kimi for second... And it looks like Toyota is going to be the new *best of the rest* team behind McLaren...

Lewis you noob, learn to drive without traction control. Would have got a better start in a A class Merc

Looks like he was trying push to pass (its not fitted on F1's :blink: )

Great to see BMW lead the constructors championship :)

well massa's race was ok, but not surprising. he is always fast and tough to catch if he is in P1 by turn 1, lap 1. if he's down in 4th or 5th he's rubbish and driving in and through the field. but yeah from the front i guess it's just one big qualifying session for him.

well done to kubi getting another podium and go webber!

Massa pwned that race. It would have been the perfect weekend if BMW hadnt tried publicity stunts to get Kubica on pole.

It was the exact same drubbing Raikkonnen administered in Malaysia.

Alonso lifted. No doubt about it. I thought it was Hammo's brain fading at first but the more i looked at the incident, the more i knew that bastard got off the accelerator.

I thought Heidfeld drove really well as did Nico but it was good to see Webber jump them after the first round of pitstops.

LOL, star of the race was Fisi. He finished ahead of Hammo, what was it 11th place?! in *cough* spyker.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
