link to old races?

all on my HD/media server at home and I just stream to any of my TVs (all networked). they take shitloads of space though, I have quite a few full seasons but we are talking 100s of GB.

yeah I've been enjoying watching chump car lately too. shame they are now heading to ovals for the next little while. all the recent road courses and street circuits have been good to watch. thank jeebus for foxtel.

tell me again why we need DRS & KERS. Last year didn't have enough overtaking? Even the stats nerds can't keep up with it this year! At this rate we'll have 1344++ passes this year. Awesome

Its f**king ridiculous.

Too much time, someone has (not you).

I don't think we should judge DRS on what happened at the sphincter of the universe. I'm not sure if you'd say they got it wrong because I'm not sure what the alternative was (DRS on the front straight instead, perhaps?), but the back straight just gave too much advantage to the passing car. At the end of the day, though, I'd rather see easy, even bogus, overtakes than none at all, because then the faster driver has a fighting chance at using his car's speed.

I admit that DRS + KERS does make F1 a bit Mario Kart, though. That's not going to change unless the FIA can figure out how to make the cars less aero-efficient and -dependent. They've tried, but they haven't quite managed it yet.

More grip than power = boring racing. More power than grip = awesome racing.

So what's the solution? MOAR POWAH!

That actually makes a whole lot of sense (to me at least)

If the rest of the season was like the sphincter of the universe then DRS will be a failure. In my eyes we had one race where it did nothing. Two where it seemed ok. One bad race.

In past seasons you may have had to wait two or three races for a good battle and pass. To me if you are a few tenths or even a second quicker. Then you have to work to get past and the guy behind should be able to hold you off with some race craft. But in the past there have been cars that are far quickwr caught behind slow cars which is rubbish. If Massa is 18th because of a problem in quali then he should not spend the whole race battling a car that has scored less then 10 points yhe past few seasons...

Actually, there's an easy solution to this: Fan-assisted ground effects that generate 100% of the downforce (no wings allowed). Then the turbulent wake airflow won't matter.

Of course that would also mean finding a way to regulate the amount of downforce, though.

I'm on the fence with DRS still, great idea and would be interesting if it could be used for X seconds per lap wherever the driver liked but as mentioned that's just going to separate the guy in front even further..

What if it to use it you needed to be within the 1 second window from the driver in front plus your last lap was within 0.5 seconds faster than the guy in front. Would help the faster guys to pass the back markers and would mean that there would be less chance of the chasing driver to put in a really shoddy lap then fluke the section near the DRS detection, allowing them straight past the driver in front.. That plus deactivating the DRS as soon as the chasing driver is half way past the driver in front should make some interesting corners and allow the talented drivers to get through rather than anyone who can get within a second of the car in front.

<---happy with it :)

without DRS button and Hammo wouldnt have had the multi lap battle they did. and from what i saw Webber was out of legs anyways by the time he made his DRS overtake. He just had more pace on those tyres and that fuel load than Lonzo did, and was clearly gonna cruise past anyways eventually, as alonzo did to him earlier.

sure it all needs a few tweaks. and the stats as posted previously would suggest its not needed....but, theyre always gonna try and add new unnecessary stuff to keep Bernies mind young and thinking??....lol

Lol'd at Schumacher's comment that his collision with Petrov was "mostly" his fault. Like cutting himself shaving or tripping over his own feet would be "mostly" his fault. I think he's "mostly" taking up a seat that someone should "mostly" have

greece vying for a spot on the calander?

dun make me laugh out loud

A couple of laps around the Acropolis then a bit of nude ancient Olympic grid girl action then a bit of Greek style for SV and Helmut.

Sounds like a goer......if only Greece wasn't bankrupt.

:huh:

:no:

:down:

have to agree there. not sure greek women are up on my 'hottest 5 nationalities' list.... :no: have you seen chicks in greece steveo? granted there's some good ones but the average is not exactly don bradman like....

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
