Chanoman, if you make the top 6 in the nationals you will be in the international final against Australia's top 6.

Some Countries are easier to qualify then others, Australia's is extremely competitive this year on the online qualifier lucky im already through via Live event.

Ill be more confident in the real driving challenges as i think i should have the measure on most at the aussie final as im a regular Karter and trackday atleast once a month.

110% perez's fault

Perez drifted off the racing line(Vettel was on the racing line perez clearly was but then drifted off it), towards the offline part where massa was, you simply can't do that, massa turned right as the track is turning right but stayed off the racing line, which Perez then drifted off towards him.

It couldn't be more clear its Perez's fault.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Look at the Vine and that slowmo video i posted, he's steering to the right with no good reason..

because its a right corner maybe?
That part of the track isn't straight it turns right.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But why the f is he steering to the right, right before the impact, and it's a very sharp switch to the right..

Its a picture, it could of been a split second reaction steer, either way the incident was clearly Perez's fault, regardless how much a mexican will tell you otherwise.

Did you buy your wheels from below the border?

I put in a Revo Ecu upgrade in my Audi A3 2.0T best money ever spent, Fuel economy increased massively (9L per 100kms to about 6.5L) and the power gains where absolutely insane, 200hp to about 270hp.

Companys like this are just optimising the cars engine map so its isn't running the incredibly Rich stock setting, I would avoid those Chip Tuning boxes that you just connect to your cars ECU and stay in the engine, haven't heard anything good about them.

Ill tell you now though, unless your car has Forced Induction, its a complete waste of time doing this as the power gains will be very minimal.

There you go, If you want to be a F1 Candidate either you give a lot of money or impress at your early years of racing.
Esteban had 19 when he won GP3.

Look at Romain Grosjean for example at age 20 he was no where in F3 Euro, then after that won every full time championship he competed in(apart from F1).

It's safe to say that he was shown much more promise in F1 then Esteban ever has too.

Wickens won F3.5 against a field that was definitely higher quality overall (vergne, ricciardo, korjus etc) then GP2 at the time(grosjean destroyed GP2 that year) and would rate it very highly.

Quote from chanoman315 :

Wickens never won a thing.

Wickens got dropped in 2008 after a poor season in F3.5 he was only 19 at the time, then the year after he came 2nd in the first season of Formula 2, 2nd in GP3 the following season and then won F3.5 beating Vergne in the same team.

Quote from Intrepid :

...or that if you stick around in a series long enough you'll start getting the results.

This is his First Full season of F3.5 though.

looks to be a really break out year for Sainz, he hasn't shown this much form consistently since Redbull signed him.

Hopefully this means that Helmut Marko learned a lesson from Dropping Wickens prematurely.

Qualified for Australian National Final via Live event, got 5th best time top 14 qualify.

makes sense then he did wiggle, the braking zone on that corner is very uneven so its not going to be flat, also i don't see how it is out of the question that something like this could happen when doing a Fast lap.

Quote from Intrepid :

he was a tenth and a bit down (in the sector he had the edge over Lewis) on a lap he knew Hamilton probably had the legs on him.

that's ludicrous, no one thinks that while they are trying to do a lap. A tenth down honestly doesn't mean too much and is no way in hell an slow lap kind of time.

Quote from Intrepid :

The issue they have with Monaco is it's so easy to bring out a waved yellow flag that this could be replicated every single year by a driver in provisional pole.

Whether it was on purpose? I don't know. I know he was down on his lap so taking an extra risk had no consequences. You either go faster or bin it and bring out the yellow flag. So maybe he took the risk knowing the consequences of bringing out a yellow flag wasn't THAT big a problem for him. So maybe not deliberate, but he had calculated the consequences I am sure.

There's enough there for a penalty but I wouldn't be surprised if the stewards don't have enough evidence. Reversing probably wasn't the best idea to hide his innocence though. That's what the stewards could get him on regardless of the 'mistake'.

um, he was on a fast lap.

Quote from Intrepid :

There is a small issue (apart form obviously doing it on purpose, albeit more convincing than Schumi's attempt). He reversed the car that 100% guaranteed Hamilton was impeded on his lap. He could have parked it out of the way.

By simply taking the exit road is instant waved Yellows as has been for the entire session as drivers went wide.

That's the biggest problem, its allowed a situation where a driver can do what Rosberg did without really impeding anyone and making it impossible to judge it on purpose.

It is timely but I did recall Hamilton doing the exact thing in a qualifying session a few years back.

Quote from PhilS13 :

Nico made that look much more convincing than Schumi was able to

I don't think it was done on purpose, but the best possible way to do it, if it was.

Quote from Gougoodthing :

2-time World Champion Sir Jack Brabham has passed away.

*3 time.

r.i.p

He came 2nd and 4th in the two races, exceptional job despite the sub par machinery:

Quote from AtomAnt :

43..lol I'm 56 , close as I can see it sloopy. slanted, loop sided but lets adopt slope

Don't use it to describe a gradient.

I could bet you show 100 people that on the street and asked them whats wrong with that bridge, slope would cover that answer atleast by over 70%.

It might not be Caterham actually, considering the relationship with Alpine being owned by Tony fernandes its highly unlikely a subsidiary of Renault that's owned by him would be under pressure like this.

Lotus would definitely be in trouble though.

the 'teams' mentioned in this are Lotus and Caterham who are falling behind on engine deal payments, this is starting to show the costs are starting to become unsustainable, if these two get withdrawn due to not paying up this will be a huge blow.

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Quick question. Anyone have decent experience with a SMG trans? I'm really thinking about getting a E46 M3 Vert and i kinda made it apart of my "5 years from now" goal.

I'm not going to daily it (although it'll be tempting), and i'm looking to drive it only on the weekends or a really nice weekday. Also if you have experience with anything i should know, speak up!

Get the manual, SMGs are clunky Horrible Transmissions.

Such a Shame the CSL came with that as a Forced option it killed what really would of been the most complete M3 ever.
