I am pumped. Dan has been called up to test the RBR at Silverstone. Lets hope he can seal the deal and we see another Aussie in a top seat next year

Joe Saward seems to think its the wrong choice fro RBR and they should be looking at JEV.

Also interesting to see Coughlan has left Wiliams and Pat Symonds has signed up. SO many changes cant be good for Williams but hopefully Symonds can convince Maldanado to bin it and get Bottas in a good spot after a safety car

Anyone keen for the new F1 game to come out? Thought I'd bring it up in the Formula 1 thread because I think its the most likely place to find people who buy/play F1 games ;)

maybe, so long as it was a dedicated computer game not an awful xbox/ ps port

last F1 game I bought was Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4

good to hear Disco D. has been given an opportunity as I think he has deserved it so far. Whether RBR see him in the seat next season will be another story.

I'll more than likely buy the new F1 game for PS3 (have bought the last 2 years) but planning to get a decent cockpit setup as well...Playing with the controller isn't much chop

by the GT steering wheel then!

I have the driving force GT Pro. Its pretty good for F1 actually. I think the G27 would be a little wasted (but still good) on F1 games. At the moment I dont have my wheel setup since I moved house and went back to controller. But I cant drive the cars more then 3 laps without crashing lol.

Disco Dan had his test with STR and RBR yesterday clocking 1st and 3rd fastest times with one small off.

The times look pretty good compared to this years race times so a few eyes will be on SebVet today to see how his times look by comparison.

Looks the goods, wonder how much cheaper Kimi he would be....

If I pull the trigger on a cockpit I'd go all out and get the G27

I love my g27 but it's old tech now. The pick of the new units is the Thrustmaster t500. Feeling extra rich add the F1 wheel .

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
