Looks like ill be a new foxtel subscriber then...

I stuffed around downloading Sky rips after the events last year and it is just down right painfull..

It just shits me, that i cant "only" pay for motorsports channels. I dont watch any other form of sport... why the hell do i need to pay $60 per month for shit im not going to watch -.-

Thats a huge rip off, considering that you are essentially paying $43.5 per race weekend...

Thats $60 p/m + $150 Install / 20 races per year.

What a joke.

It's almost worth signing up for a NOW TV whole week pass ~2 times a month and pulling it down through a UK supplied VPN connection. If only that was legal. -.-

Sports channels are only $25 a month. The rest is just your base subscription. Although I see your point if you are joining purely for F1

Id like a dedicated channel but looks like its just going to be on fox sports 1, 2 or 3. At least we will see practice, qually and race live anyway. Somethimes I tried streaming practice but was almost always useless

My live streams always worked for practice, race day they sometimes lagged due to all the viewers I imagine, but I pretty much only watched for the pre race and during the 300 odd ad breaks 10 managed to fit into a race.

Will be sweet to get all of that in HD without any of the lag etc

WTF are Bernie and his lackies up to? So they are banning drivers chamging their helmet designs mid season!

What a farking joke. Why are they wasting their time discussing such matters when they had two teams go out of business at the end of last season. Force India and Sauber look shaky. You have big name teams that can't attract a series sponsor. You have a historic GP venue in the middle of Europe saying they can't afford to host the GP and the other venue can't afford it back to back...

...and they decide to talk about what F1 drivers are doing with their helmets.

It annoys me to see such a great sport being completely farked / raped by capitalist douchebags

Yeah that is a bit lame, I always enjoyed seeing the different helmets. Having the same one all the time does get a bit boring, then again changing every race is a bit stupid too (vettel). Maybe they should limit it to 5 changes a year maximum. It's a bit annoying they always want to appeal to the casual viewer and not the true fans that watch every or most races.

I will be there Sat. Still not sure about springing the cash for Sunday or going to Malaysian GP. I am going to JoeSaward on Fri night to hear him moan on about things

Survey of fans on helmet decision!

Yes – it's important that drivers maintain design so we can recognise them in the car 21.29% (306 votes)
Yes – it speaks to the heritage of the sport 13.57% (195 votes)
No – this is more interference in driver individuality on the part of the teams and FIA 21.64% (311 votes)
No – F1 has far more important issues to address than livery design 43.49% (625 votes)

Total Votes: 1,437

AMA SuperCross / Motocross The riders change helmets between practice/race sessions

Fark even I change gear/helmet between races.

Maybe if they put numbers on the cars we could farking recognize them......hows that for a novel idea.

Poor Alonso. Should have taken my advice and served his last year out at Fezz and signed an option for McLaren in 2015. But first see what the first proper James Allison car was like. McLaren have built some horrible cars over the years and when the fluked upon a good one in 2012 they threw it away for a rubbish evolution in 2013 :(

And now you have the woeful Honda engine...looks as bad/worst than Renault given their budget and time to prepare.

Oh well, i am ready to right them off for 2015.

Remember Red Bull last year? Horrible pre season with numerous break downs/issues. Then come Melbourne and they got a car home in second (ignoring the post race issues)

Helmets; well I think changing too often is no good but every so often for special races I like it. I remember when Mclaren drivers used to run the special helmets in Monaco (for a sponsor, forget who) with diamonds in them etc. Vettel was taking it a bit far but I think its funny that they made the ruling against helmet changes 'to help fans distinguish the drivers' yet the poll shows the fans are not concerned.

They do put numbers on the cars (well some teams do anyway) it's just that they aren't very big, and often on the top of the nose where you can't see them anyway. They need big light up ones like the WEC cars have

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
