you can look into the shuey thing a little more if you want, he tested a late 07 model ferrari with current year spec tyres and was consistently lapping several seconds under current times (not lap record times)

yes, that could because of the car or his neck?

but, shuey is known for his ego and being a champion. he is not going to want to come back if;

the car isnt up to pace or he isnt up to pace.

im leaning towards him not wanting to race as he is worried about being beaten by previous back markers (mark, jensen, ruebens). but meh, id love more than anything to see the man in a competetive car running it up the front he is a legend after all!

he prob would have said no after the first 70 laps or so that he did if he was worried about his EGO.....after those 70 laps his neck was sore for a week....then came the second 70 laps or so and he didnt pull up good either.....i watched his press conference and he was genuinely disappointed.....there is no doubt about his LEGENDARY status either....i would be happy to see schummy race regardless of the results he gets as those points wont be helping MASSA.....

maybe his ego made him want to actually be that quick so he had another dig? not saying its his skill, the man would be a front runner in motoGP if he wanted but maybe there is disapointment in the car?

ive just learnt watching F1 to over annalyse everything, especially when it comes to big teams such as mclaren & ferrari lol.....

yeh like you said, it would be great just to see him out there again, charging into the first corner!

Badoer has already said that done expect much out of him and he will be treating it like a test session......i mean come on.....put Marc Gene in the seat if Badoer isnt going to be 100% racing all the time....

  • 2 weeks later...

Great effort by Fisi regardless of weight and a big positive for Toyota and Jarno. Should be a good race and I for one am predicting the winner to come from what would normally be considered an outside chance.

been an interesting couple of weeks, and i agree with you about a big change on the top of the podium tonight, tho i think kimi will be there somehwere.

just hope those teams pit crew can stand up to the pressure of fighting for the win (unlike mclaren apparently??!?!)

also, good on rubens for still fighting for the drivers title, looks set to take another chunk outa buttons lead tonight!!

Oh what a fantastic race (of course it is fantastic...Ferrari won :D) Force India IMHO should have won the GP last night....KERS was the only thing that kept Kimi infront of Fisichella....he drove an exciting race....but what about Kimi's start.....Barichello hit antistall and was stuck on the line while Kimi blasted off and took a whole new way of taking turn 1.....onto the run off and after the safety car restart he managed to get infront of Fisi by the power of the magic button lol.....

Brawn are in a bit of stife specially after having Button DNF and Barichello just limp it home with his car on fire in the pitlane after the race......There are rumors that Fisi might be going to Ferrari for the next race in the championship.....that would be a lot better then having Look at me Bad goer at the wheels....cannot wait for Massa to come back...i think they had 6 DNF's

pritty sure i called that victory... if only i put some cash on it!!! =P

how about that force india? that thing was a beast around there!! not sure kimi would have got the win if it wasent for that restart!

lol at webber getting webbered XD unless something crazy happens, i think brawn will take both titles comfortably from here

Kimi was flying at the start of the race....so not sure if the restart made much of a difference but when they changed tyres is when it made the difference....kimi was struggling to keen Fisi behind him

massive congrats to fisi! good on kimi aswell, always liked him as a driver, be interesting to see if he does indeed go to mclaren next year. somethings got to give as alonso has confirmed he is at ferrari and kimi has said he still has a contract there so :s

also mark webbers lolly pop man needs a bullet, that dipshit has f**ked him over too many times....

sorry mate i haven't looked for a link, im just going off what both aussie and international comentators said during the race? i dare say its just strong word of mouth amongst the pits that they are running off.

there wouldnt be a press release untill they can fit kimi in somewhere

wow wow wow easy there tiger.....mark webbers lollypop man did the correct thing by releasing him early....Webber just didnt get traction....got bogged down and hence that have the Nicko the time to get side by side to him....at which point it became RBR's fault as they should have waited.....Webber and Nicko were fighting for race position....and they were evenly matched as well...plus webber was infront of Nicko....didnt wanna loose position in pitlane...

There is also rumors that Kimi is going Rally driving next year in Finland....Alonso is most likely going to move into the Ferrari outfit....Kimi prob go more rallying....Massa gets back into his seat...well hopefully.....would love to see Alonso and Massa at Ferrari....

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
