So this year could be Montoya's last realistic chance to be F1 world champion. He's already comitted to McLarren for 2005-6 and going on current performance, he's got no chance at all with them. He could just fade away at a lesser team and never drive for a top team again.

Webber on the other hand - all the talk seems to be not about if he's going to win the championship, but who he's going to win it for!

In 10 years time... Montoya who??

Montoya is a driver who just goes out there and drives the wheels off the car not knowing much about the car and pulls some awesome stunts in the cars.

Webber on the other hand might not be so outrages in the car but consistant and slowly progressin, but personally i dunno if he will win a F1 Championship.

:D

Youre basing McLarens performance on one race! haha........ if you want to do that then Michael or Rubens have already won in 04! In which case Montoya has no chance this year also :) Realisticly Williams Renault and McLaren will catch up to Ferrari this year maybe not in maylasia but surely when they head back to Europe. Remember Melbourne 98 McLaren also lapped the whole field winning by over a minute Ferrari caught up and challenged for the championship and only just lost. And on Webber he has a good of a chance as Montoya of winning a championship. hes a smart and fast driver which is what Schummy is all about!! Also Montoya at Mac will have to deal with Kimi :) who is a faster driver.

so montoya reminds you of that guy sylvester stallone played in that race car movie where he comes out of retirement? hahaha.

geez they talk webber up. i'll eat my shorts the day he becomes world f1 champion.

hahaha. It may seem as though everyone in oz is talking up Webber a bit much but reading overseas websites and also hearing from aussies overseas the guy is touted as a future superstar even overseas. I even saw an interview where MS was asked if he was worried about the up and comers montoya,alonso and kimi he said " you forgot one; Webber"

I remember seeing an interview about Senna many years ago. The guys they interviewed said, senna was the sort of racer that hated loosing full stop "especially to prost". If he wasn't going to win a race, he'd either try to run first place off the road, or retire himself out of the race. Montoya sort of reminds me alot of Senna, he's driving style is agressive, and he sooks if he loses. Though not my favourite of drivers, as long as Montoya's racing makes for good viewing.

I agree, Its only australian media that make it out that hes the next world champion. There are shitloads better drivers then him, namely Alonso!

Also Montoya is a good driver, but stupid. Mick said it perfectly after the race. He makes one stupid move, and his race is over. Hes done it over and over again. Dont forget guys Montoya has only ever won 1 race. Hes not that good.

Death Race 2000 - clearly the best car movie of all time. I've got it on DVD. The best scene is when David Carradine beats the crap out of Sylvester Stallone. Oh man, I'm going straight home and watching it for the 57th time tonight!

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
