I've seen races where they race in rain just like that, but I think what they mentioned being different was the amount of spray from the tyres and limited visibility as a result from the poor drainage on this particular track.

Wow, what a race! Despite rules and regs trying to ruin it as usual!

So glad to see JB win and hamilton get reminded that going for every gap gets a good percentage of wall, Button had no reason to yield to him.

Vettel must be happy, overall he extended his lead over his main rivals, who didn't finish. Now he's on 161 points, with JB on second 101. He just needs a few DNF's and this championship will be interesting again.

So sad that the fia do everything possible to fk the good races. Still a bit dirty about being robbed monaco quali and gp finale's.

Fuck you kunce that didn't respond.

I booked it.

Look out for me on TV, kents

I may be there for the race. Waiting for a friend to confirm. I am a 100% starter the following weekend in Hungary.

What did you end up doing for accom? Imagine its exxy. You in a stand ir general admussion?

Get on exepedia, we got the night of quali and the race for $190 AUD in Cologne. Thats about an hour away from the track and we've got a hire car.

Yeah T12 - nothing special but it's got a screen.

I just bought these for the little one.

cologne is actually a fair hike from nurburgring definitely more than an hour. Troy can attest to that. even in an audi or focus doing an average speed of about 180km/h it's still a hike!

It will be a bit of a mission on race day I imagine. having said that nurburg is a little hick town in the mountains with nothing much going on after the sun goes down (may be different on a GP weekend though with the big new linder hotel there) so cologne will be more fun in that regard. and I'm guessing at this stage it's probably impossible to get anything in nurburg anyway. hope you are going to try and drive the nordschleiffe? though it will be fking packed for the week before and the week after the GP for sure. i imagine it'll be a mix of full on traffic jams on the track and long closures while they scrape bikers off the armco.

you will love it though no matter what. :)

I hope the rumors are true and that Webber might be going to Ferrari to race alongside Alonso. It'll do him good instead of being stuck behind 'the prodigal' Vettel.

Where did you hear that

Is there a link somewhere would love it if were true

I said too late.

It's booked.

I'll try the north loop but don't like my chances.

I think the rumour of Hamilton going to RBR in 2013 holds more weight, but it's just that, a rumour. Webber has been linked to Ferrari before, yet nothing ever happens from it

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
