That's kind of how I read it too.

I'm thinking that the only team orders will be race til near the end then see where everyone is in the running order, make a call from there.

Anyone of them could bin it on the first corner, and as was mentioned, Mark has been starting pretty poorly.

This is what'll happen:

Same front grid as last week minus the Hulk-

Seb's brake rotors explode,

Mark trips over his own feet somewhere along the way,

Gonzo's engine says "smell ya later"

Lewis inherits 1st, gets second drivers title :(

But all that could just be a whole heap of unrealistically wishful thinking on my part...

I might just put a bet on that one, thats better than my 17 on webs i doubt either will happen however..

actually lewis is going to cook his brakes.. deals off

Well, I cant really remember last Abu Dhabi race. McLaren and Hamilton were strong with KERS, but cant recall Ferrari being in the hunt....but this years Ferrari is a far better car...so not sure who this track will suit. I expect it to be more of a Ferrari track with the long straights and slow speed corners rather then an RBR track...so at first glance I think RBR will be figthing like hell to park both on the front row. Mark needs to find that little edge he had mid season

since I'm up on f1 bets this year, i'm thinking of throwing caution to the wind and making one crazy last punt;

say $30 on Hamo to take the WDC, for a $2000+ return?

It will either be an eopic Sunday night or one that BLOWS! No middle ground for me...and frankly RBR can bite my ass....

agree with both sentiments there buddy. either naked through the city with mark webber is #1 across my back in body paint, or sitting at home crying and punching my tv whilst my RBR cap is on fire... and yes farking RBR, they really should have let webber take brazil, those 7 points would make this weekend a much better proposition and would even them up for ferrari's dodgy-ness.

COME ON WEBBER OLD SON!!! YOU CAN DO IT MATE!!! :blush:

COME ON WEBBER OLD SON!!! YOU CAN DO IT MATE!!! :blush:

Good sentiment.

Unfortunately I reckon the finishing order will be:

The Tool.

The gimp in the cheaterer Ferrari.

All that is good & noble in F1 ie Webber.

Someone down the back behind the try hard midfielders, ie past where everyone stops caring: Hamilton.

Webebr has to qualify P1 & make a decent start. Not much hope there then. But fk it I will even promise to use the Yellow Pages again if he can pull it off.

hey, he has taken P1 in qualy before against these blokes and won before too. hell he won his first race even with a drive through if my memory is correct.

he is the master at overcoming adversity. hell by rights he is too big to even fit into an F1 car yet here he is!

GO WEBBER!!!

In some respects winning the race will do just as much for his legacy as winning the championship would.

I mean for a Ferrari fan I can't really articulate JUST how much I'm wanting Webber to win, I remember being at Melbourne to see him bag 2 points in the shitty Minardi back in 2002.. For his sake, for the sake of motorsport in this country & the much needed boost, I'm also off to the first annual Festival of Speed here in Perth, and it would be just fantastic to see Webber punt that RBR around as a world champ! Also I agree with the legacy bit, Webber is highly regarded for his mental toughness and his ability to overcome, I hope it doesn't abandon him now. However, and an almighty however.... A small part of my brain keeps telling me Mark is going to regret that spin in Korea for the rest of his life, I hope I'm wrong... Think though, imagine if he even scored 2/3/4 points on that day...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
