Enlightening. Massa is NOT HAPPY about what happened tonight.

Interesting point re: RBR - if preference goes to the one highest in the championship, what's going to happen now they're on equal points? I'm tipping it will be alphabetically by last name.

Have you also sat at Eau Rouge? I'd like to hear a comparison from someone who's seen both.

I'm not denying Turn 8 is a great corner, but I stand by my claim that Eau Rogue is more spectacular to watch and a bigger challenge for the drivers.

I think it used to be a challenge but not so much anymore, its massive incline is what makes it scary. Height variations have always been exciting to watch, laguna seca is one example

Dont underestimate how much turn 8 undulates. Tv does these things no justice.

I will go to Spa though. Not soon, but it will happen

Well if Horner and teams start crying to the FIA I would not be surprised if Alonso is stripped of points. The language used after the pass support it was a team order. Interesting times

As for incline...man i dont know, walking up Eau Rouge wears you out....driving through it doing about 190-200km/h is a buzz. I have never seen an F1 car go through there but GT1 cars were cool! And as cool as Eau Rouge is, Pouhon is a mighty corner and equally as cool to watch F1 cars go through

Oh man, i just realised it is 12 months tomorrow since i did the two days driving at Spa....FARK how the last 12 months have flown :(

oh...and that driver briefing was a tad embarrassing for Alonso and Massa

Well that was a terrible race. Why is it the ones that Ferrari wins are boring? :(

Loved seeing Massa's body language after the race. Boy was he pissed! Rightfully so, and his comments will obviously get the FIA digging deeper into the issue.

Webber's still ahead of vetool according to the FIA as he has more wins this season.

between flexible wings and team orders, looks like the old fuzz are back!

be very disappointed if a monetary penalty is enforced. They never deter the big spenders (unless it gets taken out of a spending cap type scenario in the future) and it sets a bad precedent. Why even bother having the rule?

That was as boring as bat shit. Massa is now offically Ferrari's bitch. I would be fuming if I had lost money on Sportsbet.

Is there any talk of alonso not getting the win?? caus i won the moaneyyyyyy!! and would like to keep it!

rumours are force india may be excluded for fitting the wrong tyres to their cars... for one lap... before they rectified it at their own expense

and here the fuzz are found guilty of cheating and this is what they get?

WMSC smashed mclaren in 08, we'll see if they have the same amount of balls in this case

Is it team orders when drivers are advised to hold station and not challenge their team mate?

On more than one occasion this year we have seen cryptic orders given to drivers from more than just Ferrari telling them that "their team mate is quicker" or time to "conserve fuel" when it seems they were pressing for position.

It is rife in F1 and it always will, the difference is Ferrari made it obvious this weekend.

It sucks but that is the game.

Spot on, it happens all the time, people are just having their usual whinge because it was Ferrari this time.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
