Spent yesterday watching the round 10 of the FIA GT car practising and i have to say these cars sound so much better than the F1 cars.

Was lucky enough to get within 20 metres of the track and the sound of the corvette and the spykers is just incredible.

Will post some pic later today

You F*%^&ing luck bastard

I have been trying to get over seas to see those beats for three years now. Were there any MC12's out there? its one of the last rounds that they can race in

the australian GT series will hopefully be getting bigger in the next couple of years, as well as another series but i can't say anything yet :P

The aston martins are just a high pitched scream as are the ferrari's. The best sounding cars are the corvette and the spykers.

Have attached a few pics but best part of the day i got 2 sets of worn slicks off one of the porsche teams have only done a few laps too. V happy about that

I haven't been to an FIA GT race, but I did go to the Japanese Super GT. And the sound they made at Fuji speedway (like a big amitheatre) was just amazing. Nothing like seeing Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsches, racing against hard tuned 350Z, NSX, Supra etc. just awesome.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
