From what i've seen americans will admit wrong doing, in motorsport anyway. Especially on bikes. Hayden, Spies and Edwards are more than ready to cop it on the chin sweet when they are involved in something.

Spanish are by far the worst at not owning up. Its almost laughable when you sit there waiting for them to get back to the pits to see what utter bullshit they plan to come up with.

We could do with more americans in european motorsport. By and large they are great guys who get emotionally involved and usually have a pretty good sense of humour about it all. Anything is better than the pain of listening to Massa or Pedrosa bullshit their way through interviews with the familiar unhappy frown of dissappointment on their faces.

Everyone likes people with a bit of a personality, guess thats why not a lot of like for Massa.

A few times we've heard the commentators mention Mark being a cheeky Aussie or whatever it was, found this and thought it was sort of relevent right now;

On the same google result page was;

and this, although this will only be funny for Simpsone fans who can remember how "Poochie the dog" ended;

Oh, yes...even with Mark not getting any race wins...he seems to have enjoyed all of his lat baron years...

3rd pic down on the left...Look at the expression on his face...he is pumped to be in F1 :)

There is another ripper shot fromn the front that i cant find

How did you link it...there are some other good ones as well...and the one when he was in the Jag outfit looking at the stunning brunette with DC :)

But the best one is when he was behind Sarah Jane pulling an "awwww yehhh" face at the site of her bum in lycra ;)

And interesting to see GSK and McLaren are in bed together now. Perhaps I should get a job with GSK and see if I can worm my way into a role with Mac :)

..and how is this for an angle. Since Renault-Lotus (the black and gold one) is really only Renault by name due to Concorde Agreement...and with Renault now putting engines in RBR, Williams, Caterham and Lotus-Renault...what is an engine deal worth to a team? I just read that Boullier is a little tight for cash and has been speakign with Cosworth about engines for 2012. This will be great for Cosworth getting a 3rd team back on the books but bad in that it paints a pretty bleak picture for Boullier's team.

So, with lots of talk of the French govt wanting the return of the French GP, Renault wanting French drivers that they will subsidise an engine deal with Boullier in return for giving Grosjean a seat?

more on Robert Kubica

"I will be flexible, because I really like Robert and it will be good to have him return, but in the middle or end of October I need clear confirmation," Boullier

the boss needs a answer. :ermm:

so i just went on the pf1 forum, it was interesting.... :blink:

they did have one good thread and that was 'the rookie of the year' thread.

nominees are.

Perez

Maldanaldo

Di Resta

D'Ambrosio

Ricciardo

so my vote goes to, (drum roll)....... lewis hamilton. :laugh:

who gets your vote?

Renault will stay with Renault, lol.

'The French manufacturer signed a new five-year engine partnership with Red Bull Racing last week while Renault F1, Team Lotus and Williams will also be using their power units in 2012'.

clicky

Edited by tweety bird

But Boullier is speaking with Cosworth as he has to pay for his engines now and that means loads of dollars he doesnt have. From what I understand Lotus (Proton owned and managed by some Danny Bahar fella didnt pay any money to the F1 team for some reason...yet they kept the car painted in their colours as they didnt want to publicly pull the colours and be without a naming sponsor. Seems the cheque is in the post which is always the case with dodgy Malaysian businesses :(

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
