Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a f

Yeah and I have a suit made from her skin......creepy much? :woot:

Nah, she had an aussie BF and one of my opening lines was talking about my other half and my daughter so I have terrible form if I was trying to pick her up. We mostly talked about life, cheese, wine and how fricking freezing it was.

Has anyone else looked at the grandstands in subsequent races and thought..... Gee, that would have been nice.

I think it's time for melb to lift its game and get a roof for the stands. With the ticket prices, I think we deserve some protection from the sun/rain.

Our stand (world champions stand) had a roof, unfortunatly we were on the edge near the gap and also at the front near.... well the end of the roof so it did nothing for us, both when it was sunny and raining. Morning was O.K but afternoon sun was killer

Know better for next year, one of the back rows will be good for cover and photos as well, can take some over the fence instead of trying to take them through it :)

Lotus have revealed that Nick Chester will take over as technical director following James Allison's departure.

"We are pleased to announce Nick Chester as our next technical director," Boullier said. "Nick is well known to everyone at Enstone having been with the team for over twelve years. He is already directly involved with this and next year's cars, ensuring a smooth transition which has been underway for some time.

"It's an illustration of the strength and breadth of talent at Enstone that we can draw on personnel of the calibre of Nick and it's something of an Enstone tradition for new technical directors to be promoted from within. He assumes his new position at a tremendously exciting time for the sport.

"The 2014 technical regulation changes present many challenges, while our current position of second place in both the constructors' and drivers' world championships mean we cannot lose sight of this year's development battle. Nick really has his work cut out, but we know he is more than capable of handling the tasks ahead. As a team and individually, we would all like to thank James Allison for his efforts during his three stints at Enstone and wish him all the best in his future endeavours."

Chester added: "I have worked at Enstone for over twelve years and am delighted to take on the role of Technical Director. I am grateful to the management at Enstone for the faith they have in promoting me to this position. I am very aware of our need to keep pushing development of this year's E21 whilst developing next year's car to a set of very different regulations. There are some exciting times ahead for Enstone and I'm honoured to be part of it."

Niki Lauda has ruled out Mercedes trying to sign Sebastian Vettel as they already have the "best" driver pairing.


"Forget it," he told Austrian newspaper, Osterreich. "We are not trying to get Vettel, as he has signed a contract with Red Bull until forever.


"With Hamilton and Nico Rosberg we already have the best driver pairing. The two push each other forward positively. Our driver change has motivated the whole team who are all inspired."

"There is Jenson Button has revealed the McLaren MP4-28 will look very different when the upgraded car hits the track during practice for the Spanish Grand Prix.


a lot that is different, you will be able to see [the changes to] the aerodynamics of the car and you will understand the difference in airflow of the car," said Button.


"It is still the same colour, but the edges have changed.


"There are some really cool-looking little bits on the car but I don't think it is going to be enough to fight right at the front.


"We will see an improvement and hopefully that will help us understand the airflow of the car a little bit better."

in my experience, very few races have stands have roofs, unless its over the main staright

and if they do indeed have these roofs, positioning isnt ideal... like the final turn in this weekends spainish gp for example

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
