“It really pisses me off, because every time I play the PlayStation game, it’s always those corners that I couldn’t get right, and in reality it’s still those two corners!
I have a PS4. Now All I need is a rich father and I can be an F1 driver too

Does Williams not have a simulator or did Stroll wreck that too?

If Jenson tested at Bahrain he would've been the McLaren FP2 champ.

Man I'm digging the new Haas livery. Reminds of BB's Grey Ghost. Wonder if the other teams will complain and make em put a florescent stripe on it like NASCAR did lol.

I love that the cars are starting to look absolutely demented again. The last time they looked this good to me was 2006-07

I realize this is off topic and I know that's taboo here *cough* but I can't find my damn multimeter to verify. Anyone have an idea what the amp draw on the antenna signal wire switch coming off the headunit in the Integra might be? I can't see it be much about 150 mA but want to verify. I have a switch for the wire and I wood rather not meltit/burn down the Integra. I have relays I can use if needed but wood be easier to do without. Switch is rated for 200 mA.

I'll keep looking for my meter...

this is not acura-tech.com so it is far enough off-topic to be safe here. if i recall the signal from the headunit is just a signal and not the power supply to run the motor that raises and lowers the antenna. the antenna has separate 12v power. if that's the case then it's well below 150mA.

if i'm wrong the car burns down so take it with a block of salt.

You are correct. The signal wire from the head unit does not carry the power. The Helms shows a relay on the 12V for the power antenna power, but just has wire from headunit to antenna and is listed as radio switched power (to antenna) on the radio plug.

i'd guess the relay is comfortably below 50mA.

Well I hooked it up and was messing with it for a while and didn't see any issues. I have a fire extinguisher so I guess we'll see. I don't expect issues.

So anyone thing have will try a goof strategy tomorrow? Start on SS and pit after lap 1 and run US for the entire race? The US will last that distance. Not sure if that will work but starting what, 13 (was 14 but BUT penalty) he ain't gonna get to the front on pace.

I guess he could also start on SS and switch to US when erryone pits.
