Is that ment to look like that?

SV: I think it’s looking good. We are Red Bull, we are in a unique position again this year and we are horny - can you say that in English or does it not make too much sense?

sebs horny! look out!

Kubica did a great job...bit i was equally impressed with how Webber got on with it and was overtaking cars on the quicker tyres. I was impressed hpw he cut some nice moves on Glock, Kobayashi & Schuey

Agreed. MW looked hungry...

how the hell didn't that tyre deflate?

I think he was the master of understatement in the press conference when he said there was some vibration and the tyres wore perfectly, and then added 'there was nothing left'.

Small irony that the MW contact with LH was quite similar to LH's contact with Massa last race. LH must be feeling a little unlucky. With that sort of luck he needs to go home and check that Nicole Scherzinger isn't a bloke in drag.

Mclaren just needs to install a bumper-ring around LH's car, ala indoor Karts.....

If you have a look on the AUTOSPORT website you can see where marks Tyre has rolled off the outer bead and is 5mm from rolling of the wheel itself, whichever Bridgestone mechanic put that wheel on today deserves a cold one I think :P

Agreed, amazing pic of Webber's wheel, thanks for posting.

Also thought Kub's drive at the end was amazing, very impressive, even if his tyres were fresh and those of the others he passed were not. His engineer's radio cracked me up after the first pass; "oh and these guys coming up, their tyres are also 50 laps old" :P

Absolutely loved Vettel trying to take off from the pits in 2nd gear! :happy: was lucky to get away with that one.

yeh saw that, commintator picked up on it as well, wanted to see a replay to see what gear was displayed on the wheel when he took off. was probably frustrated as team fu#ked his race by bringing him in with alonso. thought they would leave him out for a couple of flyers then pit him. seems redbull can only concentrate on one drivers strategy per race.

Well both Ferrari and RBR were saying they wanted to pit ASAP as the harder tyres were now qucker then their well used softs, problem was the McLarens were 2-4 seconds a lap slower and after pitting they woudl have been behind the far slower Mclarens.

So as soon as the Macs pitted that gave them a window of free track. They both wanted to put asap as if they pitted after the other then the guy got pitted first on his out lap woudl have been far quicker on the new hard tyres so the guy staying out was only ever going to lose ground.

Seems to make sense, shame they didnt have the 30sec to the Macs that they needed as it would have been interesting to see if RBR had more race pace then Fezz

Yeah, it was great in the last handful of laps as you could see Vettel turning up the wick; RB had more fight in reserve, but it seems as though the brakes were always a concern for them? (at least up until those last few laps when they could afford to go nuts).

(Webber's brake failure last season; continual feedback between Vettel and engineer re: brake condition)

Logistics of running a GP tells me it would simply get cancelled. Slight chance that they could run a GP in Japan at Fuji if there are no schedule conflicts, as the team are already in Suzuka for the previous GP and logistically would be easier to get to Brazil from Japan then Korea....but odds on Korea will be on. As if Bermie is going to say something in public if he does not already know EXACTLY what is transpiring

Here you go. ;) Last frame is after he finally drops it back to 1st. Agreed it was probably heat of the moment and a bit of frustration, but still a rookie error hey.

im not worry about korea!

India on the other hand! if its anything like the commonwealth games, im sure there will be potholes in the track lol

    • 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.
