I'm a little on the fence with his return. Sure, I do like the bloke, and think he is the second best driver to ever steer an F1 car (behind Senna of course :)), but I think that he should have left his career where he finished it in 2006. Although a driver of his talent will definitely be at the pointy end of the WDC title.

Hopefully the McLaren boys can hand it to him! :D

dont forget to root for one of our own as well... has everyone forgot mark already.....

Of course we haven't forgotten Mark. He has a seat next year, and hopefully is as competitive as he was this year.

Obviously if a 7 times champion returns to the sport, it's going to generate a lot of news.

Bought my ticket for next years race. Row A in the Jones stand, pretty much directly in front of the corner.

Seems us Vics may have to pay more for next years race too, as they have yet to secure a major sponsor after ING pulled out this year because of that Renault bullshit.

If i am around i will be going, only thing is after watching F1 in Malaysia last year i would seriously suggest that you save the extra few dollars book a cheap flight and go to Sepang. Viewing is awesome with a view of 1/3 of the track plus a big screen, all for $500 for the weekend. (Fri free) That was the second most expensive stand, which i think was better as the pit lance building obstructs too much of the view.

And its a good weekend away! If others are interested in going shoot me a PM

I think there is a strong chance i will be doing Sepand and Shanghai next year because work will have me in that part of the world again

I could be interested in that Bris, if you have the time to throw some rough package prices at me (tickets/accom etc)..

I shall be there in Sepang Roy! Will be heading back from the HK sevens and am hanging round KL for a few days in order to hit up the race. Should be good! What area do you suggest sitting in for the best views?

Went to the Singapore night race last year and loved it!

Bets bet is to sit at where the 15 is, but not facing the pits. You get a great view of the cars coming down hlaf way between 8 and 9 and you see them all teh way up to the turn in apex for 15. And you havea screen in front of you as well as the big position tower showing the positions all thru the field. Also great as you are in a sense in the infield so out the back of the stand you have toilets and food and drinks!

Yeah, it's bullshit. If his ban has been overturned, they should also refund McLaren's fine from 2007, as well as their constructors championship points aswell lol.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
