The terminal speed difference on the straight was allegedly 1km/h different. So it is reasonable to assume there is something to be gained from drafting even a slow Lotus but....

Did HK brake 30m early?

Thats what I was thinking. Looked like HK broke early, or at least much earlier than Webber had intended to and thats what caught him out. Not an unreasonable assumption given the 4-5 seconds/lap speed difference.

Still I think Webber could've been more cautious in his attempted overtake. He probably assumed HK would just move over and let him through but was mistaken as they were actually 'racing for position' at the time

Still, cool flip. Had my heart pumping just watching it. Glad he was ok, would've hated to see Webber injured and out for an extended period in his best year to date

Let's recap, webber is coming up on a car that is 3-4 seconds a lap slower. this car is not as fast, doesn't corner as well and probably doesn't brake as well. it's also on the dirty line.

is webber anything other than a retard for expecting kova to brake super late? and go sailing through the corner with a fistful of understeer? last time pizzonia did that in a jaguar it didn't end well. come on mark you've been around a while, the dirty line doesn't give you good braking traction so you have to brake earlier. mark disengages his brain when he gets behind the wheel, he makes his own luck and it's no surprise that he's been in some dramatic crashes. i'm all for patriotism but the guy does ask for it.

I think Mark was to blame but come on Kinks. Lets not be too critical . It was an accident that should not have happened for any number of reasons. Fact remains Webber didnt give himself enough room, Heikki like a bit of an ass clown was driving on the inside of the line and then started to move and seemingly rolled off the throttle just as Webber was getting ready to dart back right. The speed differential was the cause for the accident, but Webber was 2 seconds quicker then Hul and couldnt get past so pitted early.

He needed to nail every pass and heiiki wandering around in a straight line and then coming up to 'His' braking area meant that Webber was off with the fairies when he should have been well right. But, thats racing. What makes me wonder is i need to see more in car. Was Webber F-Ducting away and is this just another thing that distracts a driver from racing?!?!?!?!?

he might have been reaching for the F-uct as he took off as he knew he was fuct by that point...

good little write up by mark webber on page 64 of today's daily smellograph.

he makes a few points. one is that this is his first retirement of the season so far. not bad. also, until this accident he had finished every race in the points and is equal with the other 3 guys who have all won 2 races a piece. he is stringing together a pretty solid season no matter what and seems pretty bright about his prospects at silverstone.

Formula1.com interview with MW

Q: Name five things that you hate?

MW: People that lie, people that drive under the speed limit, people that snore loads on planes and people that are unreliable . That’s about it. I am not big hater.

A: Possible answers anyway

Sebastian Vettel??

Heiki Kovalainnen??

Helmut Marko or Christian Horner??

Frank Williams (or at least his cars)??

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂

      Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
