too late now, but ive been using Ace Stream, you install a program like vlc and it plays through it, you can go back to earlier footage if you want, i tend to wind back a minute so it has more time to prebuffer the stream. I think it does take a lot of download though so youll need a decent plan

for next time guys

Hm google reckons that app is malware, interesting. think i'll give it a miss just in case :P

Refuelling and free tyre choice.. that is good. Let's bring back more common sense.....

Currently F1 has too many rules, and is so restrictive. Then they try and manufacture a show that is fake and boring. Prime example: DRS just makes passing a done deal. It's boring. Movable aero should get thrown out, or let everyone do it all of the time (ie to defend as well as pass). You can fiddle with the levels all you like but at the end of the day it's a band-aid that gives the guy behind an advantage that is decided by a committee. It's not 2 guys on a track with the same equipment dueling it out.

I recently watched the 2006 Hungarian race and it was epic. The cars with their beautiful V10s howled, the wings were low and wide, tyres gripped. Yeah, they had traction control (not a fan).. and some time around then grooved tyres came in which was a bit silly.. but the show wasn't as farcical as it is now. I don't even bother watching highlights. Who cares. Drivers aren't racing each other flat out, they are just playing a car management game. I feel really genuinely sorry for those who have taken their whole lives and worked their way through the ranks to be fed this horse shit formula.

Not sure if the reports are accurate but it looks like the limits on fuel flow rate and total fuel usage will remain so I don't see the point in fuel stops or plans to make more noise with higher revs??

yeah thats what i read too and it confused me too...

i guess fuel flow in the pits stops will determine if its worth an extra second or two will be gained by being lighter through out the race...

it also adds more risk in the pit stops though...

Also yeah the DRS things a bit stupid, Kers worked a bit better because both had the option to use/save it...

But yeah nothing beats the aero of the mid 2000's, such beautiful cars

Watching P2 and feeling jealous on two counts.

1) I'm not there and driving

2) I'm too old, "so Jolyon, when you won GP2 did you also get invited to the Prince Albert dinner party as per F1 guys?", "Nah, had to fly back to UK and sit my exam on the Monday"

Just opened Autosport site and what a confused joke F1 is. Bernie back in court being sued...team owners drivers or complaining about different things...surveys about what fans want....it all looks farking ridiculous!

[sigh]

It is farking ridiculous. Teams going bust and massive inequality in income distribution and their way to fix it is to go back to refueling. Genius.

The racing has been pretty good. I did the survey....told them what i think. 60% of cash needs to go equally to all teams and remaining 40% based on WCC position.

Loosen engine freeze and introduce front wing freeze where they only get 6 wing types and floors per season. Ridiculous they limit engines...making them more costly to engineer but they can spend hundreds of thousands of hours on a wing they may not do more than a practice session. Also need 3rd cars for P1 and P2 that young / test drivers run and are free for testing limiting wind tunnel time etc. by bringing 60 hours of in season, cheap testing to every season whilst having more cars on the track.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
