Certainly was a big hit for HK...monocoque looked to be farked at the front...you could see the ground through the cockpit, but apparently he's all ok so thats good news.

Ferrari 1 2 again!

Webber 5th which is a decent result considering only the top 3 manufacturers finished in front of him.

Well, Alonso wasn't running as light as many had thought. Good to see the Renaults have picked up same pace, pity neither driver could turn it into a result.

thats quite a surprise, Alonzo must have wrestled the car for all its worth for that P2 position. Too bad the engine couldn't hold up.

Lucky Webbers engine held up nicely, some nice points going his way.

Meh... Channel 10 ftl...

Fcking knob jockeys...

So much for the self-proclaimed 'home of motorsport'.. Meh...

Good work by Fisi in the FI... Keeping Heidfeld behind him for ages in what is a mediocre car...

Thank goodness Heikki was ok after the crash, that tyre/wheel failure looked horrid..

Good race by Kimi and Massa, nice to see Felipe didn't put it into the wall/gravel or some other obstacle, he drove quite a good race..

Yeh as soon as i saw that HK accident i was thinking, oops there goes the 14 years of fataility free racing. I cant believe that teh cars can submarine those tyre walls, They should be buried into the ground or teathered down.

But good to see Webber running reliably to 5th, i cant see RBR getting the pace that will make them podium contestors.

True to previous years, it seems Williams have lost the pace they showed early in the season :thumbsup: At least BMW and the worlds most beautiful Polish race driver are real contenders. Kubie is doing to Heidfled what Webber did. Only he has a more reliable car so its highlighted even more.

Nick to lose his seat at contract time for some hot young talent, or my tip a clever old Spanish Renault driver should he decide that Renault cant give him a shot at the title in 2009

On a side note, it is understood that Ecclestone informed the team that former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt was "locked on" to replace Mosley. 'It is just a question of how quickly you want him' was the gist of Ecclestone's commentary, according to the BBC

... great

this'll be MUCH better

webber is the man! nice solid boring race for 5th. my mate kubbie put in a solid one too. and of course kimi smashed them. I can't see anyone but kimi being WDC this year boys.

M3gtr's top 10 conclusions from the Spanish GP

1) Raikkonen will more than likely be WDC this year.

2) Ferrari for WCC

3) Webber still has what it takes but the Red Bull doesnt

4) Coulthard is getting senile

5) Kubica is the ugliest man on the grid ( he should stop doing interviews... ) but thankfully he's one of the fastest

6) Kovalainen played poker with the reaper and won

7) Alonso wasnt fuelled as light as many thought - his Renault also wasnt built as well as many thought.

8) Heidfeld and BMW are dumbasses for not seeing that the pitlane was closed.

9) We have seen the last of Super Aguri :rofl:

10) The Spanish GP was awesome.

point 8 is up is up for debate

what did you want him to do... run out of juice on track while he circulated under the safety car?

Its a rediculous rule that has caught more than a few drivers out now. Only when it destroys someones championship will they look to change it. Unfortunately it'll be too late by then, and once the inevitable shit hits the fan... again... it will further destroy any credibility this sport has

or had left

Point 4 is a good one tho... honeslty coulthard is dangerous

Thats now the third race he's "defended" his line only after getting to his braking point and swerving wildly infront of another diver. I mean he obviously saw the guy coming in and out braking him, so why just turn in on him just beofre the apex?

Ivan you got a point there. Yeah, i knew thats what the BMW press release said, but i dont 100% buy that.

You are right when you say this could screw up championship contention for some people if it happens to the wrong person at the wrong time...

That rule needs to be changed for sure.

Hes on his way out and we all know it. Scrapping with Sato in the closing stages surely must have been humiliating for him and even Sato in the lowly SA kept him honest for a number of laps. He got properly trounced in Quali to the tune of 10 whopping grid slots, his race craft this year has been terrible... what more needs to be said?

Its a shame because DC is one of the best drivers of my age and he's one of the old guard so you know, itll be sad to see him retire.

    • 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 😡
