I don't want to see cars totalled for slight errors but I hate seeing someone only losing a tenth or so and maintaining their place when they go well offline.

Given the number of bad injuries and deaths in high end motorsport in the last few weeks reducing danger is pretty much vital these days.

what's wrong with Korea? provides excellent racing and the drivers love it.

yes, the battle twixt Lewis and Mark made for quite a good race this year. personally I don't find the track especially enjoyable to drive on console though

conflicting reports about Kubica, his doc said

Dr Riccardo Ceccarelli admitted last week that the Renault driver is unlikely to return to F1 soon, saying: "Our goal is to get him back in F1. But he will still need a few more months of rehabilitation. "The cuts were so bad that many colleagues and specialists had ruled out a return to the wheel for Robert."

and his surgeon says

We can now think about getting him back as soon as possible into a car," he told the Polish radio station Trojka. "Sorry, into a racing car, because he is already in a road car. His recovery is a miracle but the unknown thing is whether he will be able to be as fast.

But he will be able to drive his Formula One car again and press all the buttons - we're talking about a racing driver, not a pianist."

Do any of you really think Kimi can be truly competetiivd if he returns? Personally I think Schu gas more drive and potential to succeed.

As an aside, I don't think even I'd get into a Williams! Better chance in a Toyota Sera :P

Would be more realistic if Vettel was either 30 seconds in front of Webber, or takes them both out trying to pass...

I lol't

would be even more realistic if the cars in the nicely rendered sim didn't show a complete disregard for the laws of physics in several instances

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
