I think Seb worked really hard for it in that race. Thats alot of pressure to overcome and I think he deserves it.

I'm not going to start an argument about who deserves it more, Alonso has driven a pig most of the season and its a very good effort to get that close.

Congrats to Kimi on being the only driver to finish every race this year. Consistency is right, just nail the performance next year ;)

Thats utter rubbish, and people are deluding themselves

Fernando has done well, but Massa has been more than a match for him since Japan. Out qualifying him on several occasions and having to hand his position over, or be forced to sit behind his teammate and not fight for poition

Thats hardly the sprint to the finish that wins you titles

Hey. People are saying vettel didn't deserve it. I disagree with that. I'm not even going to get into the Ferrari team tactics. That will start a whole other argument

Say what you like but 3 WDC at vettels age is amazing

Shocking

I, for one, and gobsmacked and cannot imagine a bunch of shit kicking, second rate, pathetic, sore losers would do something like that

I really cant

Oh how they'll celebrate with champagne and the respect of the paddock and wider motorsport community

Have you not seen any F1 over the past twenty years? It is how Ferrari operate. Say anything, do anything, manipulate everything.

It is not sport for them anyway, it is commerce. Plain and simple.

It'd be a shit way to win it, but really, if it does happen because he did pass under yellows, he should've been penalized in the race plain and simple. It's not a case of, well we missed it so let's just let it slide hey?

We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars and a World championship in the highest level of motorsport, I'm sure you'd all be happy to let it slide if it was your money/championship.

Yes he would.

and realistically, rules are there for a reason.

It's even more damning because nothing was done about on the race weekend.

there is a precedent and therefore there must be consitency, sucks to have to do this sort of thing outside the racetrack but if you let one thing go where does it end ?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
