wet night race... holy shit that wil be fun!!

oh massa, i wait with bated breath

Actually this could be bad ... There was a wet night race in motogp early this year, they had to call it off because the glare of the lights on the wet track was blinding. I don't know if the race can go ahead if it's wet

Accom is expensive in Singapore at the best of times. Its even worse on GP Week. I handed the keys back to my apartment a few months ago as it was costing me too much money, but still have friends who i can stay with. But really, you are better of just going on a bender and then sleeping at the track during the day in your grandstand seat :P Dont need accomm then :D

RBR cars seem to have shrugged off the new scrutineering tests and look quick in practice.

A bit embarrassing at McLaren if they can't match the pace of Ferrari and Redbull after talking up the unfair advantage those cars had.

It's a good thing RBR aren't "cheating" any more - think of how much they'd be flogging them by if they were ...

webber's not so crash hot either if you take into account his career in general rather than the last handful of races when he's been on form. it's pretty easy to win if your car is much faster than everyone else's and you stick it on pole. that's how massa wins races too.

I cant believe how you are all so quick to praise Vettel and write off Webber. Have we not seen enough seasons the past 15 years to realise that its 80% car and 20% driver. Finally Webber has a good car and he is doing the job. He has shown plenty of pace in the past in shit cars. Look at Button last year. Button is no better then Webber. But give him a car advantage far above what Webber has had this year for the first half of the season and everyone is quoting the fact that he is WDC.

Vettel has not really show much superior pace over Webber this year. He sure as shit has not shown superior race craft. He is quick, and probably has the talen to win 3-4 of the last 5 rounds...but Webber has shown he is driving as good as he has been the past 3-4 years, but with pace in the car, isnt so desperate with some of his dives and race moves.

COME ON WEBBER! There is a reason why he is leading the WDC and it isnt luck. Just like in years past when Button, Hamo, Hill, Schuey etc all had a car advantage... the car wins the WDC more then the driver!

Last year MW drove with a gammy leg.

This year despite some questionable strategy by RBR he is leading the WDC.

SV is a quick driver especially over one lap (hmm sounds like MW in the old days in a shitty car) but he is hardly towelling MW down this year or last. So it beats me why anyone thinks he is a better driver. I stand and point to the scoreboard this year and it says otherwise.

I disagree with Roy it is more like 90% car, 10% driver as LH proved last year by being everyone else's bitch.

Ditto. Mark has proven time and again that what he lacks in talent (if he does in fact lack talent, which I doubt), he makes up for in grit and determination, as well as keeping a cool head. I agree with what was said earlier, webber has never had the car to get decent results before. Very few drivers could have done better in the Williams and the Jaguar.

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
