I found it a little bit worrying that Martin Brundle mentioned during the Sky commentary that Mercedes at least said they didn't use the party mode for quali on Saturday! I guess we find out if that is true in two weeks r

Thats looking lovely Rob. I've always wanted to build an Astro Hog of some size, this is very tempting!

Maybe we need a Fantasy league for this?

I literally just hit save on finally picking my team too

Evening all, I’ve signed up again, although I haven’t paid this year. Looking forward to seeing a few more cars being shown off over the coming week and the results of the testing in Spain.

Oh no! The last minute changes to my team in an attempt to catch Chris backfired on me. Congrats the the top two and to John, Tony and Pete for todays result!

Thanks for the reminder John. I've just put mine in and made my second team change of the season, in an effort to close the gap to Chris. Some chance! Two changes is still below the standard account limit I believe?

This page has some hints on how to allow a site to bypass the protection **LINK** another thought is is are you using Adblock or UBlock or similar thing? Maybe whitelist Talk Talk in that tool if so.

This sounds like you’ve been a victim of the new Firefox Enhanced Tracking protection. I think Firefox is thinking the cookie consent screen (the grey veil) is some sort of tracking unpleasantness and is blocking the ok/no buttons from loading. Generally the new tracking protection is a good thing, but I’ve seen this happen on more than a few cookie consent screens. Id look into how you can disable the protection, temporarily or perhaps whitelisting the Talk Talk site so Firefox doesn’t block it.

What a race! I listened to it while driving back from Devon, but just had to watch it when I got in, to actually see what was going on, the radio commentary couldn’t keep up at times. Washout from a predictions point of view for me, but considering the race the team did ok.

It was the subject of the 2013 mass build, a whole raft of info found in that section of the forum (link). Just looked up what I used and it was: Motor - Turnigy SK-3542-1250kv ESC - Hobbyking SS Series 60-70A ESC (accidentally bought the one without the BEC!) SBEC - Turnigy 5A SBEC Battery - 3s 3300 mAh 25~50C LiPo Flys a treat, I love it. Edited By Robin Kearney on 30/06/2019 20:33:16

I'm popping along today, got a few models to put in the bring and buy sale, fingers crossed!

Will do! It certainly fells like it's been in decline these last few years but it's my 'local' show so I always feel like popping along to support them. Got 3 models in the boot for the bring and buy sale, so fingers crossed!

Too much time in front of a computer at work has kept me away at home, I knew my lead wouldn’t last long 🙁 I have to admit the bonus prediction for this round made me smile! Am off to Wing’s and Wheels tomorrow so will try and remember to take a pair of headphones and listen in on Five Live. As always thanks for the reminder John.

I was going to reply with an explanation but that link from Craig nicely covers it. In short its because the camera/phone hasn't really rotated it, they simply put a little bit of invisible data inside the photo saying 'rotate 90CW' (or whatever is appropriate). And the software that displays it then does it for you when you load the photo. It seems that whatever software they are using to make the thumbnails etc for this site doesn't honour this extra data so it just blindly assumes the image is the correct orientation - result is upside down images As you've seen, opening it on a computer/ipad in any photo editing software and rotating it twice then saving will actually rotate the image rather than using the Orientation field in the EXIF. They do this because its more widely compatible (as you have also seen) and they typically run on things that are far more powerful than a phone or a digital camera. The EXIF rotation was added mostly because as images from camera/phones got bigger the the computational job of rotating them became harder for the device, whereas simply writing some text to say which way to rotate it and by how much is trivial.
