Zandvoort = Dead.

Estoril = Dead.

Jerez = Test whore.

Old Hockenhiem = Dead.

Imola = Dead.

Old Kylami = Dead.

Dijon = Dead.

Paul Ricard = Test whore.

What an awesome list of tracks!

It's amazing how much more the old tracks were fast and flowing compared to now largely "stadium" type tracks. Also all the old tracks literally followed the lay of the land. Add to that list Spa from that era, and what about Interlagos? That track around 1979 was corner after corner and seemed to go for ever. Oh and Buenos Airies (spelling?) the list just goes on.

Kylami would be awesome to watch with current F1 cars on it. It's just so flowing.

That's what Im talking about. Love Kylami.

From 11 flat out up the hill for hard braking into 12, and then pedal to the ground all the way down to turn 1!

And according to the Ferrari driver, who lost out to Hamilton by one point, their fellow racers - presumably with the exception of Hamilton's McLaren team-mate - were rooting for him to win.

"Yes, I think so," he told The Guardian when asked if he felt the support of his fellow racers. "I was very happy. They were supporting me because I always respect everybody. I always respect my team and my competitors. I never had problems with anybody."

wow

get off the drugs buddy

you're both jerk off's, you just being less of one doesnt mean anybody is rooting for you champ

something just occurred to me

all this talk about hammo not being able to set up his on whip really plagued him in 07, and to a lesser extend in 08. Riding on the coat tails of Alnoso's technical knowhow

so anyway

now that Mclaren have no experienced drivers to lean on for advice, outside of DLR of course, i tend to think they're really going to struggle this year

they've been accused of sandbagging in the latest tests

but i think hammo on heikki really are a little overwhelmed at the moment

in the hands on nando at the latest tests, he did no quali simulation and still managed to top the sheets

i dont think lewis is going to be the title 09 contender i thought he was going to be

i hope im wrong

id love to see a four way scrap for the title

but i feel theres going to be problems

The degree to which a driver develops a car is much overstated these days. It used to be true, but with so many sensors, so many simulations & so much testing it is no longer the case.

Basically the engineers develop the car & to a very large degree tell the driver how it should be driven.

Which is how things should be really. :banana:

Must have been a bargain price if Mr Brawn could afford it.

Now all he needs to do is sack both of the grandpa drivers, sign Michael Schumacher and another young german (has Vettel got a cousin that can steer?) and Honda will finally earn some points.

Well The Brawn-Mercedes team will need sponsors (since I don't know how Honda got through the last two years with their Earthdreams stuff)...Richard Branson could drop money into the team

but i guess it would piss off ferrari...they would whinge that you can't have two teams with red cars...blah blah blah

But...for me I need to watch the first couple of GP's to get use to the 09 cars. it's so radical in terms of changes and design of the cars.

I reckon it will a be another tight championship year...it's either going to be Hamilton, Massa/Raikkonen (depending who's got more points and team orders later in the year), Alonso and Kubica.

I also think that finally this may be the year the Webber will get his first win...and I really hope that Brawn-Mecerdes team will be competative...I really do feel sorry for Jensen Button.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
