well its good to finally see the prancing horse back in the mix for me....bit biased but thats what you get for being a ferrari fan :D

ohh rhys i am looking forward to seeing the Ferrari cars on the open circuits as well mate....IMO i think that they might be able to do a bit better then Monaco.....and there are talks about Alonso moving to Ferrari for next season....if that does happen then i wonder who will be making way for him Kimi or Massa ummm

Edited by Krishy

pleeeeeaaaase let it be massa, god i hate him. i still smile every time i see the footage of his team celebrating then failing after they thought they won the championship lol, yes i am shallow :D

i wanna see rbr on the open tracks, wanna see this rear diffuser hard at work

dont think that the rear diffuser is doing much for the RBR cars rhys......but i have grown a liking to both the drivers of the Ferrari team so regardless who goes they will be sadly missed....but Alonso will be a welcome sight as i love his work...very hussle bussle driver so makes sense he needs to be in a RED car lol......the rampaging bull

each to there own but im pretty confident its only going to be a plus for the team, they have been outclassing the likes of ferrari/mclaren/bmw etc etc on a regular occurance without them, so fingers crossed it will bring em closer to brawn.

alonso and kimi in ferrari would be win, i might even consider dropping my dislike for the team as i like both of them lol

Agreed!! Ferrari really ARN'T back at all are they! 45 seconds off of a slowing Button's lead at the finish for Massa and Kimi?????? Good work for Webber and Co though, Sebastian really should've won that race it was setup for him, pity they still can't follow closly behind each other though through corners, think they need to relook at that part of the car, think they need to look at America and the IRL and previous indycars style of aerodynamics, less reliance on wings and more on underbody style downforce.

Bring on silverstone for possibly the last time????

Was a very good race....even though Ferrari didnt really put up a show.....but what about team orders indirectly lol....."save your engine sebastian...webber is faster" umm how was webber faster when Vetel was catching him about almost a second a lap.....but anyway

go read the race report krishy, i think you will find your a tad off :thumbsup:

both drivers got told to slow down, rising temps on both drivers motors and the only way he would have got pass was an incident. and vettel already has 4 blown motors for the season. it was a simple matter of saving and taking the easy points.

loving this season! ferrari whoooo???

I heavily doubt that report but then again i cant make that call without solid evidence......i was watching the race and there was no mention to Webber about the condition of this engine but i did hear the Vetel radio and being told to SAVE the engine....in other words dont race webber to the finish

read below:

Q: You were asked late in the race by your team not to pass Mark. Your thoughts on that?

SV: They did not tell me not to pass Mark. They just said ‘Mark is faster.’ Similar to what he did we just turned the engine down and just drove the car home. I mean if you start from pole you want to win. If you lose the lead already in the first lap it is not so good and you just see that someone has much quicker pace. It is not that nice to see and obviously then we lost because of the strategy the position to Mark, so in the end I was third. Of course I wasn’t that happy with that and just kept pushing to the end. Obviously both of us turned the engines down but still I would rather go fast the last couple of laps and enjoy rather than just going around without any sense.

Q: Mark, similarly how were the tyres at the end as you were being gained on by Sebastian?

MW: We knew that there was no point of us two smashing into each other with five laps to go, so we just brought the cars home really. Jenson was down the road, so it was a stalemate. We had everyone else covered, so it was a great day for the team to get second and third. We expected to be closer to the Brawns but we got caned fair and square today, so this is a deserving result. I also enjoyed the race today. The track was quite good to drive as Jenson said it rubbered up and it was pretty enjoyable to drive. It would have been nice if there was one less car in the race but he was there. In the end I was happy with how I drove.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
