Still waiting if the postponement will bring about change in this country. Patiently waiting.

That girl sucks to win that AMA award Mama gee will confirm that.

Welcoming HIV or AIDS the brother in the house. Someone should end the move before before before, as the case may be.

2011 FORMULA 1 QANTAS AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX

Hello Folks, Today is the starting season for the 2011 FORMULA1 grand prix season, The season will be interested for the lovers of the car racing as the officials FIA had made this years season astonishing by introducing systems that will make the season safety and fun through.

  One one of the amazing technologies is the introduction of Movable Rear Wing.  It's introduction is a effort to assist overtaking during the course of a race.  Known as the Drag Reduction System (DRS), has been put forward by the teams as a means of improving the racing in 2011.

Drivers have the ability in certain situation to move the rear wing when close enough to a car in front.  However in a race they can not access the system other than at strictly controlled times.

Via the on track electronic timing system at designated points on the circuit, when the trailing car is within one second of the car ahead the system will be armed and the driver will have access to the system.  He will not however be able to use the system until another designated point of the track around 600 metres before the next corner.  The last point is subject to ongoing adjustment as the system is bedded in.  There will be markings on the circuit to indicate the points where the timing assessment is made and where the driver may use the system to assist spectators and TV viewers.

The FIA has also been quick to point out the system does not guarantee overtaking, merely that the driver will have a additional tool at his disposal to assist with passing.  In the end the driver will still have to execute the move on track.

Also as the system is controlled electronically there is no chance of the system being used to interfere with the race via race control to determine the result of the race.  In event of any issues with the system there is a override built in to allow its use if instructed by Race Control.

The FIA has estimated that a driver using the system will gain a sped advantage of around 10-12 km/h over the car in front.

Below is a Question and Answer on the new Drag Reduction System with Charlie Whiting FIA Formula One Race Director.

Q The big news for the coming season is the moveable rear wing rule. If we have correctly understood, the system works in this way : There is an actuator to move the flap of the rear wing, this actuator is driven by each F1 driver and it is under the authority of race control. How is race control regulating this procedure?

A There is an actuator in each wing which is under the control of the driver at all times, however, it can only be used when the on‐board electronics (FIA ECU) notify the driver that he is authorised to use it.

Proximity to the car in front will be detected before the straight on which the wing may be activated, if the car behind is less than one second behind (as judged by the installed timing loops in the track) the driver will be told that his system is “armed”, however, he may only use it when he reaches the designated point on the following straight. This point is likely to be 600 metres before the braking point for the following corner, this may however be adjusted according data gathered during testing and practice.

Q What was the thinking behind the introduction of this new regulation?

This was a proposal the teams made to the FIA with the sole purpose of improving overtaking potential, whilst not making it easy. The FIA is always willing to listen to suggestions for improving the spectacle and we have sought a solution which both pleases the teams and the spectators.

Q Are you not worried this might confuse the spectators?

There is no reason to suppose spectators will be confused. Operation of the wing as described above is simple, there will be marks (lines) on the track to show the area where proximity is being detected and a line across the track at the point where the drivers whose system is armed may deploy it. Furthermore, the television broadcasters will be sent a signal each time a system is armed and this will be displayed to the viewers.

Q Are you not sensitive to the comments that race control will determine the outcome of the race?

As explained above race control has no influence over the outcome of a race, cars will simply have to get within one second of the one in front, the system will be
armed automatically and the driver can use it at the pre‐determined point, there is no question of race control being able to intervene.

Q How will you stop drivers tail‐ending the leader to then ‘jump’ on the final straight?

If a car is able to get within one second of the leader entering the last corner of the last lap it is unlikely that he would be able to pass him before the finish line. If a car can get within one second of any other car, the driver will have the opportunity open to him, irrespective of their relative race positions.

It should be remembered though that the distance over which the Drag Reduction System (DRS) may be used is going to be tuned with the intention of assisting the following driver, not guaranteeing him an overtaking manoeuvre.

Q How will this activation/action affect the speed of the car? It is true that the speed benefit will be around 6/7 km/h or more?

From the simulation work done so far the difference between a car with and without the DRS is likely to be in the region of 10‐12km/h at the end of the straight.

Q Have you factored in the issue of reliability? After all electronic systems do sometimes go wrong?

We have written the software to allow a driver to override the system if, for example, the proximity detection failed for any reason. This would only be permitted if the team had been given a specific instruction to do so from the race director. Heavy penalties would be imposed for unauthorised use.

Q Will the rear adjustable rear wing be used in practice or during qualifying?

The adjustable rear wing may be used freely in practice and qualifying, in any place on any lap. It will therefore not be used as an overtaking device during these sessions but more of a means to gain lap time, however, it will mean that the car is geared correctly for the race. If its use was prohibited or restricted in qualifying teams would have little incentive to gear the car purely for the race at the expense of qualifying performance.

Q When do you expect that the final choice will be made in setting this new system up?

Having gathered the information we need in the final test this will happen during the coming days and the teams informed accordingly.

Q Will the FIA allocate a test session to evaluate this new system?

This has been discussed but no decision has been taken. We will discuss the possibility of using part of a free practice session in Melbourne with the teams on the day before first practice.

Q How does the moveable rear wing affect KERS?

The DRS will not affect KERS in any way, the latter may be used by all drivers at any time, the following driver of course may use both, they are however independent systems.

Q How do you think these new rules will affect the handling of the car, and in particular how will the tyres be affected, bearing in mind that Pirelli are on their first season anyway?

We think it will have little or no effect on tyres as downforce should be at normal levels when the tyres are being loaded laterally. This however is something that can only be accurately assessed after more extensive running with the system.

What other rule changes are outlined for 2011?
‐    Ban on “double diffusers”.
‐    Ban on F‐Ducts (driver operated rear wing stall systems).
‐    More stringent load/deflection tests on the front wing and the front of the floor.
‐    One additional wheel tether on each wheel. ‐    Anti‐intrusion panels attached to the monocoque around the driver’s legs.
‐    One additional load test on every chassis at a point beneath the driver’s seating position.
-    Gearboxes will have to last five races instead of four previously.
-    Introduction of a 107% minimum qualifying time.

So you are welcome. Here is the result of the Australian Grand Prix below

My Thought thanks for bringing it on board I forgets

[quote author=emeka_gh link=topic=631074.msg7993269#msg7993269 date=1301177601]Following through with the Power road map, the gas revolution master plan, the railways, coastal roads, PIB, FOI, electoral reforms, equipping the police, boosting the economy, enthroning rule of law, and allowing the judiciary to function with let or hindrance, that is why Nigerians are voting for GEJ.

GOODLUCK/SAMBO 2011[/quote]Sorry I didnt see fighting corruption in that ur list, May be u forgets. Then Buhari will tackle that is what u mean?

Vote for Transformation

Ozin:
I beg make you let this mad man stay abroad make those of us abroad take over the opportunities there in Naija!!!

No make sense!

I support BUHARI for a TOTAL "cleansing" of PDP mess. Am a Nigerian with integrity.

Folks, Lets COMPROMISE but not with PDP, My kids future is what am fighting for. Lets unite in PUSHING PDP out of office. they are our modern day colonial master.

Change we want.

Princek12:
Also why have you dodged my question? You have answered a question with a question and refused to answer my question. Well let me answer your question, and I hope you will return the favor by answering mine. Speaking broadly, Nigeria's problems stem from too many illiterates in power who therefore lack the knowhow to create a system that will be sustainable. Corruption is not our major problem.

We should have had LIGHT, BETTER ROADS, INFRASTRUCTURAL dvelopmentetc But all those monies went inside personal accounts. Folks reason POSITIVELY. whites are not better off us. just that they realize that keeping their environment better is the major tasks. Vote for a change. You can vote for any other party except PDP please.

[quote author=Enugu_Ukwu link=topic=631074.msg7990666#msg7990666 date=1301148612]^^^

So, its because of PDP that you havent come home?

Stay there na. Many of us goes home to run our business even with the same PDP in government. Please say something more reasonable. I know many people who have gone to Naija to get employment even in the past two years. Come on. speak objectively.[/quote]I was in my friend house yesterday fixing satellite for him, He told me his cousin (A Banker) was shot on Monday. That is not the Nigerian we dares to have. I believe that no system is perfect. But we have to live beyond that kind of life.

Princek12:
To the Buhari supporters: Is Buhari Educated? Does he have any advanced degree? Or is he a bloody illiterate like his predecessors? And is he running on a platform of honesty? Because I am sure that reasonable minds will agree with me that honesty alone cannot advance Nigeria into its next chapter. I am more concerned whether he possesses the critical reasoning faculties to effectively solve Nigeria's complex problems.

Please answer me, because I searched the web for his bio, and I have found not a scintilla of evidence suggesting he is educated. But I need more clarification, as info on the web is sometimes inaccurate or incomplete.

What do you think is the problem of Nigeria Please?

As a Nigerian living abroad, I know the challenges we face from living outside of territory map, Please, please A VOTE for PDP other than CPC is a vote for millions of Nigerian to keep coming to abroad in search of rubbish life. I want to come back home. Corruption is the major problem of our underdevelopment. We have ALL it takes to forge this country ahead if given BUHARI and BAKARE a chance to control the affairs of this country. Keeping sentiments wouldn't make us reach our promise land (As an Igbo to vote for Jonathan). A complete CHANGE we want. and Buhari is he best option to led us.

Inform and educate folks the need for them to look beyond PDP and their FAKE promises as the future of our country is at sake and the unborn kids.
Make it real for the two BB.

That hungry IDIOT, Lets see the outcome of this plan. Fools

Sorry, I dont know what they are talking about.

Then the west should go and finish the Oil. disgusting thieves

We have the talent, the system we operates cant let us forge ahead. bad rulership.

Serves him right, but inasmuch i didnt support their action, infact PDP has nothing to sell to us.

Poverty, disease, Infact maladministration is the cause of ALL this racist regards. I dont blame white cuz our government fall hand in making the system work for us.

Then, whenever he made such a comment,someone should ask him if he had consulted them to come up with that date. I never buys their comment

Laughing like Gadhafi in libya
