All this talk of next years aus gp has reminded me how bad tens coverage was this year, so should we tell them what we want to see by way of a partition?

the first things that came to my head was...

banning layne beachley from attending the event and never giving her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and informing her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) and some information/facts about the cars they drove.

no more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more then Kochie) wait..... infact you should put paul in a two seat f1 car, the amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered this year.

what do you think?

two more..

the celebrity races should be conducted under the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion.

there should be more close ups of the walk of wimmans, we have a better caliber of wimmans here in aus then our uk masters and we should be doing our best to make them jelly of it.

Just go to Melb for the race, then you don't need to watch 10's coverage. But seriously there is a lot of downtime at the track, hence why they have to pad it out with crap.

Just go to it I'd say. Support the local event and keep it in aus.

If you think it's better watched on tv there is plenty of screens around showing the same shit you see on tv but with a bit more noise

But I'll signe it for the rest of the poor coverage.

Ditto....jump on a plane and come see the race in the flesh and hope to keep the GP here.

Channel 10 are a disgrace and I am sure their coverage will continue to be bad entertainment! Nothing wrong with cross promotion and trying to get people to turn on the box, but bad tv is bad tv....you would think it would be easy to cover the F1 with coverage and info on Aus/Nz greats like Brabham, Hulme, and other notable people like Perkins, Shenkin etc . Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it....and interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes!

draft one.

Ban layne beachley from attending the event and never give her a mic at a motorsport event ever again (and someone inform her that a race isn't called a match it's call a race).

less interviews with d list celebritys/ people from masterchef and other reality tv stars and more interviews with race car drivers (former or current) such as Brabham, Hulme, Perkins, Shenkin, webber, Ricciardo and some information/facts about the cars they drove/drive as well as what/who they were up against.

Show the history the sport and Australian contribution to it, interview the Australians in the pits working for various teams and show the Aussies behind the scenes (Sam michael ect).

No more people from the breakfast show (seriously Paul Henry is more annoying then Kochie is) wait..... infact you should put Paul in a two seat f1 car, The amusement would go some way to make up for the torture we suffered in 2012.

The celebrity race prizes should be awarded as per the rules set out by the WANKR motoring occasion regarding prizes.

They're as follows.

First will receive a case of beer.

Second will receive a case of beer.

Third will receive a case of beer.

Forth to last will receive a case of vb........... to encourage them to do better next time.

did i miss anything?

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
