well....I'm not sure, I reckon it must have been a full moon or something last night.

Obviously Montoya had a shocker, you aren't meant to crash under safety car :P

But why was MS warming his brakes in a blind tunnel....he could have waited 100m where people could see him.....you can see from the video he was stopping so hard that he even locked up the front left!

But the one that had real brain fade was Alonso...why wouldn't he have waited and overtaken in the chicane just down the road.

And for that matter what the hell was fisi doing going full speed thru a huge cloud of smoke under yellow flags.

I reckon there'll be some pretty pissed of team bosses around now.

Fair enough he was warming his brakes but to the point where he's locked the wheel? I think that's a little too excessive.
MS was hardly on the racing line, their was an accident only 1-2 laps prior which was caused by the lack of grip off the racing line, it would have been quite easy for MS to lock his front left tyre just by being off-line.

I dont think MS hit the brakes very hard, its just that the brakes were cold, so they were grabby, plus after the race they mentioned that the tunnel is quite slippery, when going slow(no downforce)

so a combination of slippery surface and cold brakes would have caused the lockup, lockups are not uncommon, and come on, montoya must not have been paying attention!

At such lower speeds, there is no downforce on the cars. Also the tunnel is very slippery. It wouldnt of taken much to lock the wheel up. It came down to Montoya being way too close to Schumi, Trulli said he was too close to him and thought there could of been an accident, then there was. I think it would of been hard for Schui to still win, however the race was boring after he was out.

All i can say, is imagine if MS hit JPM. Im sure that the media, JPM and everyone else would have a totally different prespective on the incident. I dont rate JPM at all, i think he is a wild man, and is not a good driver. I mean the guy doesnt know how to overtake, he just trys and barge his way through, and 1/10 moves he makes will stick, then other 9 will end in some sort of accident. He has to re-asses himself and realise he is not the best. He believes he is the best driver on the circuit, typical attiitude coming from someone who raced in Indy.

In regards to Alonso and RS incident, according to alonso, RS slowed down in the tunnel, forcing alonso to overtake or lose even more time. He did then RS accelerated again forcing Alonso to stay wide in the dirty part of the track where he understeered into the barrier.

I thought it was the best race yet. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Ferrari, just no longer MS, and no not because of last night or anything. Just think he's a little bitch.

Anyway, I think what happened last night was fine, come on though, the guy never ever makes a mistake, and then when the brakes grab there has to be an excuse because he wouldn't do such a thing. I just don't see if he's so good outside the tunnel, why's he try warming his brakes when he would know theres no downforce and its a slippery part of the track, at slow speeds off the racing line. Montoya was close, to avoiding it, he sat against the wall.

Don't you think its strange that he didn't back off with the brakes and roll on again? I mean half the drivers here, if they had a lockup and couldn't steer, would back off and slide the brakes on smoothly again.

~ But yes, not slowing down into smoke and yellow flags, haha he deserved it. I think it was Coulthard that was on the end of that? Unlucky.

Webber out again, suprise suprise.

But yeah I liked it. Somebody else won for a change.

Actually while those guys were both geese last night, I'm amazed more accidents don't happen behind safety car and on warm up laps.

Rules are quite clear that you cannot "swerve excessively" or do "practice starts" while behind a safety car. you also have to maitain a gap of no more than 3 car lengths. These rules are broken all the time, in fact last night on the warm up lap there were cars doing practice starts on the grid while marshals stood next to them. Not good for safety.

And yes, I am bitter coz I got pinged for it once, luckily just a warning afterwards not a black flag during the race :P

those marshals wer crazy last nite. On the road waving yellows and some of the drivers werent slowing down. I must say last nite did so some real worrying signs about the so called "best" drivers in the world when they dont even follow all the basic rules as Duncan pointed out. Also drivers making fundamental mistakes aswell.... Hmmm

I know where your coming from! Exactly the same thing happened at our Victorian SAU Go Karting night in Victoria the other week. Very dissapointing... I think some heads should roll :P

the marshals last night had a deathwish for sure..

and im with duncan in saying that ms and montoya were both a bit dumb, but i think the blame still really lies with montoya, he was behind, and he is meant to be looking in front of him since he was going forward at that time in the race!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
