but jim's racing with Mezara, so he's got no chance :)

JPM for the F1 title. He manageged to drive alongside MS thru the first chicane at Monza. Would MS show the same sense if punting someone off would win him the title?

I never really liked Longhurst until he decided to try and knock Morris's head off, for which i award him the big :D

So hes alright in my book:D ... even if he does seem to get thrown out of every team he has driven for after one season, maybe he should go and setup his own team again.:(

Montoya for F1 championship cauz Shuey is a bit of a tool, (if u can remember back to the Damon Hill days).

DIDO... Skaife for bathurst, or perhaps Lowndes/Seton, and go the Williams, next to Jordan they are the biggest employer of Aus engineers in F1

  • 2 weeks later...

Hat goes off to MS, looks like he has it in the bag with the last round being at Suzuka, but you never can tell.

I have to say last night was one of the most entertaining races i have seen in a while. I almost woke everyone in the house when Weber went off. NOOOO!!!

If your a team owner and you have a guy that is genuinely leading a race, (ie after pitstop would still be in lead, if not 2nd) then if its pissing down rain why do you bring the teamate in first for wets, only to leave in this case Weber to slide off into the wall on slicks?

The rain/weather looked to suit the Jaguars, if only he had lasted one more lap he could have finished 3rd instead of Frentzen, if not better.

Yeah it was a good race, at first, wasn;t it, almost worth waking up for :D

as always though, there was so much luck involved in tyre choice in the wet - it worked for schumaker but totally stuffed up montoya.

And with Weber, he has always seemed pretty confident with wet track, he may well have told the team he was OK (as DC must have). Pretty brave call on a track with such a quick section....

I think DC was the guinea pig for Mclaren and Raikkonen, the minute DC radiod back that slicks would do the job, Raikkonen would come in.

I have a video soemwhere of Weber in the his first and only year in Formula Ford in Aus, the race is at Phillip Island in the pooring rain, and he won by a huge margin, somehting like 35 seconds in FF for gods sake.

Came from like 4th on the grid too because of dry qualifying, it seems he has a feel for the slippery conditions!

i did not want to hear that. aaargh i'm so pissed today. i set the video on channel 9. :D

Channel 9 ...old habits die hard

I was about to start recording when i saw the rain come down after the leaders had already done their first stop and Weber inherited the lead just about as he was to do his first stop. As the others had to pit twice within 4-5 laps for wets i started to get a sniff that this could be Webers first race win. Just as i was grabbing a tape, Weber hit the barrier... oh well.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
