Now I'm just debating whether or not I should shell out $35 for the timing & scoring season pass for my iPad.

It seems that they use KERS to help get away and poor old Mark is an Aussie male and can only do one thing at a time .... it has me stuffed because I was hoping he could (in what may well be his final year in F1) that he could do well at the Oz GP - sad but not to be

Yes I feel the same. I really wanted Mark to shine at home in this race. I hold his talents highly but this starting issue has got to be worked on. Its long overdue and its cost him dearly even at Jaguar!

Seems like Mark could benefit from training with a pro dragster driver. He must wait until the light goes out, which is too late. He really screwed himself yesterday because he just got sucked back into traffic.
Definitely a great race yesterday.

Australian Auto Action reporting from last weekend states Webber's car lost telemetry on the formation lap which meant that engineers on the pit-wall could not program the clutch for the start and the KERS was inoperative for the first 20 laps ...

WTF ?

Sounds to me like they can do a partial re-boot of bits of the ECU whilst the car is racing ?

Hmmmm ...

See also short write-up is Nissan MotorSport (aka Kelly Racing) move towards the front of the grid with a top-5 finish for Moffat in Race 2. The sleeved down VK56 is still down on mid-range torque (NISMO from Japan have spent 3 days here this week looking for tweaks to improve mid-range torque) and a tad off in top end (Nissan's are consistently 4-5 kph down on top-speed in Adelaide and Albert Park), but they are showing impressive lap-speed on the softer of the 2 compounds available at selected circuits.

Next V8SuperCar round in Tasmania in a week.

Saw the report on Mark's ECU. Mclaren have been apologizing. Not a nice way start your race eh? Hopefully he will make up for it this weekend in Sepang.

The V8 series you have there looks amazing. I hope to catch a race or 2 at some point.

Enjoy the race this weekend mate!!

Qualy is on! Tough call. All team are showing some tire degradation. Red Bull one of the worst. Mercedes look strong but I think some element of tire conservation is going on based on what I saw in Prac 3

As long as Vettel doesn't do well I'm happy.
