As usual i dont take any notice of pace until Q2. Everything up until then is just strategy!

I agree,

but this has to be one of the closest practice sessions so far this year with less than a second covering the top 12.

force india must be happy so far this weekend. 2 cars in the top 10 in second practice

I would expect BMW to be closer to the front come qualifying

Looking good. Great to see Webber ahead of Trulli. Great to see Alonso up the front, and great to see McLaren could only get 5 & 6. LOL, the more they stuff around in the pack the more credence the stories about Alonso's contribution to the McLaren team. Especially with Alonso an Renault getting quicker.

Will be interesting to see what happens in the race with fuelling

wow, Renault DID make gains, well done Piquet and especially FA

BMW should have done a lot better than what the did, Kubica once again has no juice in the tank

I get the impression Hammo still cant handle his own car setup at all. He seems to be the only car to consistantly slide turn 7 and 10 and the ITV idiots for one reason or another praise his ability to hold the oversteer.

i got money on you kimi, dont let alonso push you around into the first turn

Alonso must've been right on it to get that kinda time...

Be good for the Spanish to see their hometown hero get on the front row..

Again, reiterating what most others are saying... Louise ftl... Useless without input from an experienced teammate..

Heidfeld should be good here, esp if the BMW's can get a good lick of speed on the main straight...

Hopefully RBR come up with the goods, and hopefully the Newey penned car is slippery in a straight line...

i think for every year fernando is in formula 1, his self confessed omniscient presence must have some kind of performance gain that doubles every year... Renault are just now reaping those rewards

all very easliy explained you see

Big fat loads of bollocks to you Ivan, lol!

yeah i remember, hes worth 0.6 seconds to the team...so in reality, if we added up all the years hes been competing, he should be able to make any car go 4 seconds faster!

Shit, even force India could win a race with him at the wheel!

Edited by m3gtr

Ive been thinking about this for half an hour now and i still dont get it...

Either their RIDICULOUSLY light for the start or they found this time in spite of the fact it has taken teams years to bridge these gaps...years in comparison to Renault finding that time in 2 frickin weeks...

I smell mass damper bullshit again!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
