Its painful to have been at this track only 10 days ago and now having to watch this race on tv :(

Yeah but I love watching Spa since I've been there now. It's the one place I really want to get back to.

I'm really keen to see this weekend if people can hold Blanchimont and the back end of Pouhon flat with the DRS open in Quali. Personally I'm bummed they are banning it through Eau Rouge even for Quali - where's the challenge gone in F1's!!?

Why don't you just find and internet peepshow and get the girl/s to say saucy things to you like "oooh oooh eau rouge" or "spank me on my Blanchimot" or "you can park your bike in my Bust-top"

:rofl:

Do you have a number for me to try? Sounds like a plan! :)

I was only thinking I didnt get any photos of girls from Budapest...which is something I need to be beaten for. There is something in the water in that town.

Fark Nurburgring...Spa is the place to go to. You smile like an idiot just walking around the place. I will get some pics up over the weekend of the trip now I dont have to worry about my earlier concerns

Agreed. Did you find out any dates for next year by chance?? :)

I was also watching FIA GT3's on Speed during the week and they were racing at the Slovakia Ring - needs to be on our list.

lol, sounds awesome just as long as they don't incorporate fagnes or pouhon into the repertoire...

Michael Schumacher was the fastest man at Spa on Friday morning, however, he was just one of two drivers to set a time before the rain.

However, Schumacher, who crossed the line with a 1:54.355, was one of only two drivers to set a time in the opening ten minutes before the rain came down. The other was his team-mate Nico Rosberg, who was second quickest, 0.474s off the pace.

Jenson Button was the quickest of the drivers in the wet, taking third place with a 2:02.740.

Meanwhile, it was a dismal start to his Renault racing career for Bruno Senna, who crashed at Turn 9 when he lost control on the wet track.

But it was Senna who made his on the barriers as he crashed rearwards into the tyre barrier at Turn 9. Mark Webber headed out, taking third place despite struggling through the Bus Stop. Fernando Alonso claimed fifth place before being dropped as Sebastian Vettel took fourth behind his Red Bull team-mate.

Paul di Resta's morning came to a premature end as he went off at Turn 9, hitting the tyre barrier with the right side of his car. The Force India driver's crash brought out the red flags with 16 minutes remaining due to the position where he was car was stranded. Practice resumed after 10 minutes with Massa improving to third place, Hamilton finally setting a lap time, a 2:04.301, which put him into third place.

However, it was Button who finished in the P3 slot, fastest of those in the wet as the P1 and P2 times were both set by the Merc GP drivers when the track was dry.

i was just going to ask how long do you think bruno would be on the track for before he crashed but he beat me to it. :laugh:

Nick Heidfeld is taking Lotus Renault GP to the High Court after the team axed him in favour of Bruno Senna.

The team confirmed earlier this week that Senna would replace Heidfeld at this weekend's Belgian GP with the nephew of the late Ayrton Senna also contesting the Italian race in two weeks' time.

However, Heidfeld is adamant he has a valid contract and is now taking the team to court over his axing.

His legal representative Dr Stefan Seitz said: "The interlocutory decision of the court does not infringe on the fact Nick has a valid contract to be one of the two main drivers of the team.

"This position is disputed by the team for apparently purely financial reasons, but we do not intend to rest before Nick's legal position has been fully restored."

Meanwhile, the German's manager Andre Theuerzeit is determined to see the 34-year-old return to a Renault race-seat from the Singapore GP onwards.

"I am disappointed the team is allowed to let another driver take Nick's seat for the next weekends," said Theuerzeit.

"However, I certainly am confident we will be able to enforce a fair solution for Nick in the further proceedings."

beer baron it's lucky we sorted this 'senna' name drama i can just see it now.

did you see senna crash on the weekend?

Ayrton?

no the other one that crashes on the first lap :laugh:

would you really want to though? surely the powers that be would make his life somewhat unpleasant until the remainder of his contract. he'd be better off just trying to get a payout. but then again, i suppose he wants to stay in the game.

probably not doing a lot of smiling at the moment

the jerry's dont get involved in that sort of thing

baaaaaaaahahahaha, love your work mate

Fair crack of the whip. You cant be too hard on him. His first time in the car, on those tyres and in the wet at Spa. Others were going off as well...but must have knocked his confidence. He needs to try and build up to a pace and think about getting to a point where he can give it his best in the race at Monza, he needs to work up to that weekend. He isnt going to do anything this weekend other then ruin his chances.

After Monza we will see if he is trending towards the shitness level of PK Jr or somewhere better then that....but even then thats not really enough time. I suspect he will be booted for my man Romain Grosjean anyway so not much he can do unless a Brazilian sugar daddy comes to his aid. Note that Grosjean topped GP2 practice with no spins/biining etc though something has just gone wrong with his quali as he is nowhere :(

    • 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"
