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.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
