Where did these "fact" come from?

I don't recall saying anything about why he couldn't pass back markers.

I would love to see him drive the whole race in the same manor he did the second half of it.

The KERS not working radio call came though mid-race, yes, but it was the drive thereafter that was so great to watch.

Not often you see webber that happy

huh! indeed.

It would seem that you have caught me with my pants down haha.

Now I am a little confused though, so you say that because Webber couldn't get past a heap of people at the start when he was on hards with kers - he is rubbish... but when he shreds through the field on softs and without kers, it is all the tyres?

didn't say he was rubbish.

but, since you asked, the passes he made in the second half of the race were against a Lotus Renault on hard tyres, a couple of cars trying to make softs go long on 2 stop strategies, and 1 maybe 2 people desperately conserving fuel to make it to the end of the race. Mark was in the fastest car on the grid and on the best, newest rubber anyone in that part of the field had by a long way. He stil had to get it done, but the words candy and baby come to mind. :P

oh, and I also think its worth mentioning that Webber ceretainly got the better of RBR's pit strategies this weekend. That's something Webber fans often point out as some sort of conspiracy theory about RBR favouritism when it works against him.

....................................................

I haven't seen anything to suggest that both drivers don't have the same equipment at RBR. The fact he was the fastest car in the race by 1.4 sec shows there was nothing wrong with his car during qualifying. its parc ferme between then and the race apart from fuel, and tyre choice for those outside the top 10.

.................................

He did not necessarily have the fastest car at all, he put in the fastest lap. See this is where someone can take a fact and put a negative or a positive spin on it. It looks like most here are saying you are putting a negative spin on the facts Harry.

As I mentioned over on the other forum, Webber had to do a lot of his passes on the obviously dirty side of the track. Good tyres or not, to do that consistently takes exceptionally good driving skills because grip is going to be rubbish at that time no matter how good the tyres are. It seems fair to say that Webber, whatever his faults are, has a history of making good passes.

Button to replace Webber at RBR in 2012...

Prediction or news?

Other forum?

Webber on Kovaleinen, Valencia 2010 was a good one.

You wouldn't see Schumacher doing something that brain dead (he only crashes into someone if he will win from it).

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
