Massa and Alonso look to have the speed. Cant see Button doing a brilliant job in his first race at McLaren whcih in the heat is going to require some driving around problems/setup. My dark horse for the only two that may knock off a Ferrari this weekend will be Rosberg and Webber

My tips for the weekend here:

1. Nico (He will break the drought, him and Schumi will lead 'Der Deutsches Arabiakorps' to victory in the desert!).

2. Nando.

3. Schumeister.

4. Captain chin.

5. Sebvet.

6. Massa.

7. Jenson.

8. Barry.

8. Der Hulk.

10. Captain nose.

Hammo will surely destroy either his tires, his brakes... Or both..

Guess What Guys.... Vettel is on top and Massa 2nd.. The new teams give them credit but they are not there yet... have to get another 5 secs of development...

and perhps Schumacher should have stayed home....My

wishes are Ferrari to rule with Alonso and Massa..

Well, thought i would be sneaky and get in with the first post for the 2010 season :nyaanyaa:

Overnight i read that Trulli and Heiki have been confirmed at Lotus. Not a bad driver line up for a new team looking to establish itself. At present based on the car's progress, the people and the drivers involved..i see Lotus perhaps being the strongest of the new teams.

and perhps Schumacher should have stayed home....

Ermm... yeah of course. There'd be serious questions surrounding Nico's signing at Merc had Schuey came out in race 1 and been faster than him.

I'm really interested to see how the tyre choices (for the start of the GP) are going to effect the outcome, and no real surprise to me to see Vettel take pole

great to be back, but the lap is far too long. if it was an intersting circuit i would understand, but im becoming less and less a fan of this sand box

this year will be great. with red bull out in front early, it'll be great to see if they can stick with Mclaren and ferrari in the development race. they caught brawn last year, but i think with these two will be a different story. Mclaren stared off 2 seconds off the pace last year, now its around 5 tenths and we saw how strong they came on in the end of last year.

I think they'll get swollowed up later on up in the year, but they defintely in with a shout of at least one title

I agree, vettel burnt up his rears a couple of times last year, in not very long stints. with the extra weight and heat over there, I doubt he'll last long up the front.

will qualifying pace even mean anything about their race pace with all that extra weight?

To some extent it would, but it'd mostly come down to how well the drivers can preserve their tyres and fuel loads come the end of the race.

Anyone else notice Sutil is the only bloke in the top ten who qualified in the top ten on the hards??? Could possibly see Sutil on the podium... Those Force Indias certainly have a fair lick of top speed...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
