Looking at booking a 6pm virgin flight to cbr leaving at 6pm sunday evening, will i have enought time to make it there? race starts at 2pm and goes for an hour forty, say finishes then at 4pm. Allowing 45 for check-in, can ill make it to the airport in 1hr 15? Can take a cab, though would prefer cheaper option.

Also, having never been to the gp here, where should i be looking to sit if gen admin? should i take foldup seats or just a rug or what? do you have to get there early to get a decent spot and mind it all day like i suspect?

You might be pushing it as I assume there will be large demand for cabs and probably large lines for the tram when it finishes.

If youre interested, I have two spare tickets for the Senna grandstand (one of which has been claimed by Beer Baron) which I am willing to sell at below 50% original purchase price to get rid of it.

No chance of making it to the air port... it takes 10 mins just to get out of the Albert Park! Cabs will be in high demand and there'll be A LOT of traffic in the area because so many roads are blocked off. Better off giving yourself an extra hour. Nothing worse than rushing like a mad man to go somewhere after such a big day.

if you're going Gen Admission, don't bother with the chair or rug unless you're gonna get there at about 6am to get a spot, and when the gates open you have to RUN.. so have the spot picked out beforehand

you will be standing otherwise.

As for the flight, I'd just be jumping on the early one back here on monday morning... like 6.30am or whenever it is.

Geez, you guys must have all gone to a different GP!!!!!

I got to the circuit about 8:50 or so, not many people about could basically sit/stand/lay wherever the hell I wanted.

As for leaving, I had to walk from one end of the circuit to the other.......and still caught the 5:20pm flight home.

What would you say were the good parts of the track???

General Admin wise the places to be are:

- turn 9

- turn 11 and 12 (especially in the wet)

- turn 13

- turn 15

All places have there own good qualities, and nearly all will provide some form of race day entertainment. Be it either an overtaking opportunity or a corner that is slightly tricky and you bound to see some carnage. Most will have a superscreen closeby aswll which always helps.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
