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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
