Is anyone doing the tipping still?

I didnt bother putting tips in for Monaco and got an email saying i'd won 57 points or something like that, which is more than I've managed in any week where I actually put the thought into doing tips!

Is anyone doing the tipping still?

I didnt bother putting tips in for Monaco and got an email saying i'd won 57 points or something like that, which is more than I've managed in any week where I actually put the thought into doing tips!

I haven't bothered to do it for the last few races either, but got a similar email. I logged in to have a look and the points showing for each driver didn't add up to anywhere near what they said I'd got...

Everyone must've pulled the pin so they're awarding bonus points or something lol

I just cbf with it anymore to be honest

if you don't put your tips in it uses your previous tips. and there is some bonus points, which is how you go so many points. if you don't include the previous race winner in your top 10 you get 40 bonus points. so since maldanado won in spain (or wherever it was), if you didn't have him in your top 10 you immediately got 40 points. i was annoyed that i had webber to win then changed it at the last second.

Red Bull forced to change floor design as FIA clarifies regulation over holes

Red Bull will be forced to modify the controversial holes in the floor of its RB8 after the FIA clarified its position and deemed the design was not permissible.

The ruling, sent by the FIA to all the teams, will apply from next weekend's Canadian Grand Prix onwards and does not affect Mark Webber's Monaco Grand Prix victory.

AUTOSPORT understands Red Bull does not plan to contest the ruling, and will modify its car accordingly for Canada.

Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes had all expressed doubts about the legality of the holes ahead of the rear wheels of the Red Bull in Monaco, although they decided against a post-race protest.

Red Bull believed there was a grey area in the rulebook concerning the design of the holes, which were not believed to have provided a significant performance advantage.

The FIA has moved to outlaw the design however, saying that the rule book makes it implicit that fully enclosed holes may not be located in the bodywork just ahead of the rear wheels.

Fernando Alonso is reportedly Formula One's highest-paid driver, bringing home a staggering €14 million more than McLaren's drivers.

According to a French publication, the Business Book GP 2012, Alonso is netting an estimated €30 million per annum - and that does not include any sponsorship deals.

The next on the list are the two McLaren drivers with both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button pulling in €16 million.

So it's no wonder Sebastian Vettel may or may not be considering a switch to Ferrari one day as for now he's only earning €10 million per season, a vast difference to what Alonso is bringing home.

The reigning World Champ, though, is on a par with Ferrari's second driver, Felipe Massa, while Michael Schumacher, who used to be F1's biggest earner back in his Ferrari days, is now eighth on the list, €2 million below his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

imagine how much Vettel will want when it comes time to negotiate the next contract

tipping is gay

always was

let it go

it'd be worth doing if you could put your tips in after quali- but you cain't, so it ain't

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
