Everyone knows this.

Explain why on multiple occassions Shell reads a lower oxygen rating and slower lap times then other PULP ? I think you might find, and correct me if I'm wrong with proof, that each company also adds there own special mixes too the fuel at the same refinery.

Or... ring a marine shop, and ask them what fuels they suggest you use and WHY.....

Depends on where the fuel supplied for testing was sourced from. The BP Ultimate that is used for circuit racing comes from the BP refinery at Quinanna in WA. Arguably the best refinery in Australia using the best Australian crude oil. The Shell is sourced from Clyde in NSW. The Catex/Ampol comes from Kurnell in NSW, etc etc

So if you are looking at testing done in Vic then they might be testing BP Ultimate from Kwinnana, but that isn’t what you get when you pull up at a servo in Melbourne. You get BP made at the Shell refinery in Geelong, there is no BP refinery in Vic.

If you don’t believe me drive out to the refinery and watch the tankers pull in and out, you will see all the different brands.

Which marine shop should I call? One in Melbourne will give me a different answer than one in Perth.

hey guys what do you thin about shell extream 100 RON with 5% ethonol?

Absolutely the best stuff currently available in volume.

Do a search for more info, “Sydneykid”, “Extreme” and “any date”

:( cheers ;)

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
