Sunday weather update - dry race expected

Chinese flag and F1 flag. Formula One World Championship, Rd 3, Chinese Grand Prix, Preparations, Shanghai, China, Thursday, 16 April 2009

Welcome to race day for the third round of the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship, the Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai International Circuit.

It will be partially cloudy once again with an ambient temperature high of 22 degrees Celsius. There is a likelihood of some rain around lunchtime, but it should have dried up by the start of the race.

The race will run over 56 laps of the 5.451 kilometre (3.387 mile) track, or 305.066 kilometres (189.568 miles). It will start at 1500 hours local time, which is eight hours ahead of GMT.

Its wet. Awesome work by the top 3 to go the low fuel to try and do a dash from the front while the heavier cars play in the back with the spray.

So hope Webber can get it off the line and beat Vettel to the ends of the first lap. This has to be his best chance of a win to date, wet weather with predictions that it will be drying. A team mate who if behnd wont be too agressive and a lighter Alonso.

COME ON MARK! But Vettel is a strong chance of doing a Monza, a controlled drive from the front while the rest are fighting for boiled lollies

So happy, as an RBR fan couldnt ask for a better result as both drivers were top shelf in tough conditions. Webber was just a little too slow on his in and out laps and strangely pitted before Vettel, which i guess was a pit wall call. But Webber drove almsot as good a race as Vettel, which was faultless so :down:

Stuff coming hom for early May for a break or doing the Burger Ring like i planned, i am booking my tickets to the Spanish GP :(

Awesome result for Red Bull! Best race in ages!!!!

I'm a bit confused as to why they pitted Webber before Vettel though! Not favouring the young whippersnapper yet surely? LOL

I just kept laughing at Lewy spinning round every 3rd lap. Lol top effort :down:

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
