well at least you'll be able to hear Ted when they cut to him in pit lane

New V6 engines:

1 Pro

257 Cons

:P

But seriously...... they just don't have the that wail that the V8s had. Hopefully they sound better in real life

+1 for wanting Maldonado to leave Williams. They arent going to get any more sponsership by having a driver who is hopeless. They need a talented driver to impress the sponsers and bring more money to the team. Bottas was absoloutly outshining Maldonado at the start of the year. Not sure what happened there

I can't stand the V8 engines they currently have. Well.. not quite.. I'll tolerate them but they don't do much for me.

The V10's on the other hand.. they gave me an eargasm. Never saw a race with V12's but I would probably cream myself.

Turbo + wastegate should sound good.

Correct, on next years engines there are two Motor/Generator Units (MGU). These MGU's are the primary KERS now called MGU-K, and the secondary ERS called MGU-H, the MGU-H is designed to recover lost energy from the exhaust heat (hence the -H in the name) by driving a generator unit connected to the turbine shaft. Depending on how much energy is recovered from the exhaust heat, the turbo's airflow will be modulated in accordance to the engines requirements, this motor will also be used to drive the turbine at low exhaust gas velocities, thereby removing any inherent throttle lag with the system.

The grandson of Australian motorsport great Sir Jack Brabham has secured himself a drive in the support category for the IndyCar championship in the United States.

Matthew Brabham was confirmed on Sunday as the pilot of the Andretti Autosport entry for next year's Indy Lights 2014, following his dominant win in this year's Pro Mazda Championship.

Brabham earned the right to move up to the Indy Lights championship after winning the Pro Mazda title in emphatic style, claiming 13 race wins from 16 starts.

It means the 19-year-old is just one step away from joining compatriots Will Power and Ryan Briscoe in America's premier open-wheel motorsports championship.

"I'm really excited to be moving into Indy Lights next year," Brabham said.

"I remember seeing the Indy Lights cars for the first time in St Petersburg when I was racing USF2000 there last year. I was blown away by how quick they were and how cool they sounded.

"It's going to be a fun year, and I'm very pleased to be on board with Andretti Autosport for a second year."

this is why I love tech

and it will eventually filter down to us consumers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
