That late RX7 that Glenney was driving rocked my world too. 1:40's it was doing. I don't think he could use full throttle either as it was breaking down? So I want that RX7 too. Please. Sir.

Willfred wouldn't stop raving about the Pulse Evo..... said it was how every car should be. I want a turn!

Hopefully the commentator will have the help of Mozza Morrisby next year...... I spoke to Ian and he totally agreed that Mozz would be a great addition

My buddy Elvin got that gig. Bloody legend. Big dogleg drive out to Marks late thursday night, somehow wrangled the short engine into his wagon (he's 50kg wringing wet and no engine crane), drove through the night to get the short to us by 10am. Farkin LEGEND!

The answer is a long one, too long to do now while I'm supposed to be working, but; It must be said the 34 could have gone quicker if we hadn't effectively lost two full days (Thursday and Friday) due to the engine issue. No excuses made or needed though, Mark and the crew did a great job I think. Saturday was the first time the car ran at full health. We'd consulted with the Japenese Yoki man and he described how to get the very most from the rubber. This we did, and instantly pulled over a second off the previous best time. Unfortunately the track was past it's best by the time Mark's fastest lap was recorded though. A fact born out that the two front running cars were around a second of their previous bests when Mark recordered his 34.1. I think if we had it all together when the track was at its best, lopping another full second off the car's time would be highly likely. We also had Murray Coote on hand to make some suspension adjustments to the car, and every time it went Mark said it felt better. To highlight the improvements made just in the few chances had to run it, the car picked up over 20klm/h in turn 1 apex speed, without sacrificing straight line peak speed. So yes, there is plenty left in the car without major changes, just finessing the package that is already there. We haven't really had any proper testing when the car has been the constant (always changing aero stuff for instance) , there have been many many changes done concurrently, but now it is where is will be for a while, hopefully we can just do some laps, and make subtle changes to setup to try and gain an improvement. It's worth noting I've been told recently from a current F1 aero engineer, that there is simply no one and nowhere in Australia that knows enough about vehicle aero to warrant going much farther down that path. Zoom mag style streamers and smoke don't really cut it. Wider rubber is coming which will be fantastic! The Cyber car only had 5mm to spare each side when it went onto the 34's car trailer, so they're about 100mm wider than us. Heaps.

Funniest 700 early morning voicemail messages I've ever received. LOL

I'm suprised you made it and didn't choke on your own vomit while lying unconscious in a Sydney alley way with a used condom hanging out of ya butt.

The Nitto gaskets do look very good. This is the first engine issue the 34 has had at all, quite an achievment givin the power level and track use the car sees in my opinion.

You're always tuggin it Greg. Had to be said mate.

Nice pics Johnny!

And sorry I missed you chris

Well fact is Cyber made 475 awhp on Friday night at 1.2 bar. They ran it at 1.6 on Saturday to set that time. So 600 would be closer? Interestingly we compared a bit of data with some other teams and one fun fact was Berry's car was 20klm/h up on Sierra car at the end of the straight. Shows how much downforce/drag that SS car has! Cyber car weighs 1125, and creates 1250lg of dowforce. Yes, you read that right. They said under that car is really something special! :-))

I'm still shaking from ODing on Wicked energy drinks :-)

I don't know what issues you two have between eachother nor do I care but I do want to clear up the original head gasket failed due to the head stud between 4 & 5 pulling from the block. The fellow on the Nitto stand, Andrew I think it was, was most helpful in tracking down our requirement. So what are you on about champ?

My favorite would have to be the Panspeed RX7 it just looked so gun and sorted. Oh, and our $30 a day rental 1991 corolla with no shocks at all

I'm starting for you now Roy

1:38.14 for Russ and 1:34.109 for mark. Great stuff, we learnt heaps about tyres thanks to the Yoki man from japan. Great event, excellent to see some of you lot too :-)

Next out again at 4:30 Roy. Patience my friend

1:30.597 to Cyber!

Cyber Evo 1.30.8 first hot lap and they're 120hp down. Insane! :-)

32 and 34 both finished late last night. This is going to be awesome!!!!

Panspeed is definately an awesome thing. Myself and everyone I know wants one

No real details but steve told me last night it was basically fantastic and everything you want in a car. It's an 8 or 9.

Sure am Chris!
