don't start that shit again- He won it in spite of various dumb marshalling decisions against Him, thanks to plenty of excellent drives

on another topic, I wonder what the likelihood of Red Bull getting caught out using some sly system to adjust ride-height is? would seriously shake things up if they get stripped of points a few rounds from now

Definitely would be interesting, thats for true.

Horner seems pretty confident though, but I've been racking my brain trying to work out how it could be possible to have a ride height system like they do.

Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed :cool:

And f**k me but if i heard anything else about Mclaren and Hamo...Loved it when Button out qualified him as well cause Hamo has some kinda love affair with that circuit apparently....

I used to think this too. But i've since spoken to a couple mates living abroad and if you think ITV are bad, listen to the spanish broadcaster talk NON-STOP about Alonso... and then those other 20 odd nobodies who happen to be circulating the track

I take some solice in the fact that ITV no longer drone on and on about schumacher. Hamo has now taken the focus of their attention, and im just happy for the change

Don't watch the OneHD coverage or the Ch10 coverage because I want to neck myself everytime I hear those 2 dull commentators (and now a 3rd).

I either watch it live on my pc via a UK Proxy with no ads and an extra 1.5hrs coverage or I just download the entire BBC coverage an hour after quali/race and watch it the following day (about 4-5hrs coverage for quali+race).

whisper it (for this is heresy), but could it be that Schumacher is now merely competent rather than great?

Schumacher's comeback is going much as I expected. He's too good a driver not to do well if the car's at all decent, but a few years out of the sport combined with his age was always going to count against him for the championship. I thought he might fluke a couple of wins but now I doubt even that.

Havent seen any sight of the interviews from after Quali that they said they were going to show on 1. the pre race show was about 10 minutes long because of the bloody reb bull air race going over time. Every time you go to watch anything on ten or 1hd they start at least 10 minutes late its absolute crap

yeah agreed - safety should be a priority and that was silly.

also....if I tried that trick that Button just did I would be given a drive thru 100% certain. Rules are very clear that it is not legal to deliberatly buch the field at a restart

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
