lol.....

It may be just me but I feel for quiet some time that 'Fasta Pasta Nando's' is just reckless in F1? I'm so surprised he still in an F1 seat after all the reckless accidents he has caused????

Why? He can actually drive a bit when he isnt doing stupid stuff and he brings in masses of money to Williams. It is easier to stop a driver doing dumb shit than it is to make a slow driver quick. So they will keep him until either his money runs out or they can find someone faster (With money).

I think the key words here are the ones underlined in bold.

that is what its all about theses days!

ohhhh......and with out that financial backing......he certainly would not be in an F1 seat IMO.

He isnt looking at all like a race winner or even fast this year. That hat goes to the Finnish team mate

Yeah Bottas is beating him but neither look like race winners given the car isnt much chop. But the reality is nowadays you dont make it through the junior formula without bulk coin and even into F1 without backing.

Have a look at what rubbish aero has done to their share price.

...and rubbish global financial systems. Though another le Mans win with their tech and the new green series next year all provide funding to Williams Engineering ... if not Williams F1.

Its a shame they had such a good car last year ... you wonder how much Toto and Gillan leaving rattled the ranks focus.

Think the two companies are under one listing on the German SX?

You never know how much influence any one person has on the car design or the business or if it just that the wind tunnel calibration is shit. See how Sam Michael is going at McLaren for example or how Ferrari went in the last few years.

no, that's what happens when FIA signs a contract with a tyre supplier permitting testing despite the sporting code banning it, then tells a team "OK, you can go to the test with the 2013 cars as long as Pirelli are running the test" and then backflips when other teams complain...

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
