Gents,

Who is in for a trip to Singapore?

Names and Availability to me ASAP!

You know I've been twice now Mikey... Singapore is a great city to visit, but in terms of actually enjoying the race, I honestly think Melbourne is better. However, there are rumours afoot that the layout will be changed quite a bit in order to increase overtaking opportunities and improve the quality of the race.. I can tell you, they need it too!

2011 FTMFW!

Edited by Marco-R34GTT

What a top weekend. Sat on Copse corner for two days and the result couldn't have been any better really.best viewing moment was Kubica coming through Copse too hot in Q3, massive oversteer which he corrected in the blink of an eye.You really get an appreciation for what these guys can do live.

The whole wing debacle was a big talking point before the race on Sunday. I think most of the fans felt Webber was hard done by, and the cheer was huge when Mark got to turn one in front. Maybe that was because Lewis made up a spot too. Haha. The English love Webber though, and short of Lewis or Jenson winning, that was the best result they could hope for too.

The Circuit really is in the middle of nowhere! I can see why Bernie has referred to it as a country fair on more than one occasion.

Having said that, they have spent big bucks on the track, and it was a really well run event. There's tens of millions more being spent in the next 12 months and the pit straight will be in the middle of the new section next year, not its traditional place. Sorry if they already covered all this in the broadcast, i guess what I'm getting at is it's definitely a race worth going to. Lots of money and support behind it now, and 105,000 through the door on Sunday means it'll stay that way.

Like has been said dozens of times in this thread, i just hope the RB team doesn't implode before the season's out. I think it's gone a bit beyond the 'healthy rivalry' Webber and Vettel kept referring to in press conferences..

I stay in Oxford when in the UK so was always easy to get to Silverstone from there, i am hankering to drive the place :blink: Would have killed to go to the GP there, my mates who dont give a stuff about motor racing have even been and say its great! :D

Was reading today that James Allen seems to think that the decision to stiff Mark was most likely Newey's decision. No outside Red Bull pressure on Red Bull Racing and most likely was Adrians preference for Vettel as a driver that saw him get the part

This came today in an email entitiled, "RESPECT RUNS DEEP AT RED BULL RACING":

"We’ve already debriefed the race weekend at the factory and have cleared the air. It’s now understood that, should we face this unlikely dilemma again, preference will go to the championship points leader.

I, for one, will be waiting to see if it actually turns out that way.

....and yet this has been the position all along except that pit strategy and positioning for quali haven't always gone to the beat of this drum.

If it looks like spin and sounds like spin then......

SV will be favoured that is how it is. They will try harder to not be seen to be favouring him but I can't see Helmut backing off his push for his boy.

Horner has revealed that he didnt even tell Webber in person they were taking his wing and the reasons. it was up to his engineer to tell him what was happening. MY GAWD that is bad people management and no wonder it turned into a dog's breakfast

no wonder webber was pissed off. the least horner could have done was tell him to his face and give his bullshit reasons in person. he was probably afraid webber would kick his ass....

still lets hope webber pulls his shit together and keeps on trucking. he's still looking good. I haven't torn up my webber 2010 WDC betting slip just yet!

shame they are drastically changing silverstone. it's already lost a bit of character and moving the straight will be even more damaging. :( the irony is as well the drivers complained that the NEW section is where all the bumps are.

I wish they hadn't banned testing, i'm sure testing would help the new teams be closer to the back of the group-a pack. How long will it be before an experimental part causes a huge accident when it fails. Like the sauber wings ealier in the year

Anyone else notice the McLaren's were very bouncy over the bumps (in new section) compared to other cars?

Slightly stiffer dampening I suppose. Didn't really hurt them results wise but it didn't look ideal.

I noticed that in quali too. In the race they seemed to really mellow out though.

Nothing as smooth as redbull, but its good to see they have areas to improve on

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
