I reckon McLaren and Ferrari will probably have the most work to do in winter testing if they are to be competitive from the outset in March. But then again, they are the best because they have the best teams.

ron looks like he's puttig the hard word on Vijay and trying to get one of his drivers into next years force india.

god... if they boot Fisichella out and get Paffett in there it truely will be the best F1 moment of the year.

I'm speechless.... GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!! IT IS SOOOO OUT OF PROPORTION!

THAT IS NOT AN F1 CAR, THAT IS A F*CKING TRAVESTY!!!!

Front wing 10% too big, rear wing 30% too small!!!!!!!!

without over dramatising it at all, i think i want to acctually cry

Good luck with all the typical first turn idiocy in 09 with wings that massive.

Also no more fuji 08 massa styled punting people off the road, which was always good for a laugh

+1

it's not like the current cars are that good looking with the shark fin and OTT winglets.

if the racing is good then that's what matters.

if this doesn't work then Bernie should look into hosing tracks down randomly thru the race skidpan style to keep the racing interesting.

They will look different to that by melb next year, but +2 i almost want to cry..

Its probably just the body being tiny, but it looks as if the track has been decreased too!?

Its very 'A1 like' if you ask me. I really enjoyed how technically advanced 08 cars had become in the aerodynamics/downforce department. Why does it feel like some old dickhead and a bunch of never-were-race-driver people are making such drastic changes to f1.

They are going on about cost cutting.. Well how about the hundreds of millions spent on this years aero that is now getting scrapped!

It would have been much better to leave the cars as is, add full slicks and a boost button that gives another 1000rpm for 1 lap or something. That would make them probably 2sec a lap faster than current.

One of the major reasons overtaking and exciting racing has been rare lately is because they all use the same tyres. It was so much more mixed up and fun to watch when michelin was in there too

I want f1 to be the fastest that human engineering and technology can make it.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
