3 Genuine Gibson Motorsport Hr31 Skylines At Sandown Raceway


Recommended Posts

3 Gibson Motorsport HR31s will be racing at Sandown Raceway November 9/10/11.

These cars are the real deal;

Jim Richards 1990 ATCC winning car in full Nissan warpaint (chassis #5)

Alf and Tim Grant's 'Sizzler' car (Chassis #3,Ex Mark Skaife)

Chassis #1 in original Nissan colours (Ex George Fury, Glenn Seton, Mark Skaife)

All 3 cars are as raced.

If you haven't heard the howl of a full race RB20, now is the time to educate yourselves!

And say hello to the charming and glamorous pit crew (1 of which is me)

Usually 2 practice sessions on the friday, qualifying and race 1 on Saturday,

And race 2&3 on Sunday.

As for actual times, who knows.

Depends on whether we are the feature race or not.

Either early morning (9am) and early arvo (12;30-1;30)

Or late (10:30/11 and 3-4)

this is the historics yes? They regularly run these in the historics along with a few other group A cars from that period. The Gibson R32 is also there but doesn't get raced, I have seen it being driven around though. You can usually go right up to it and poke the engine bay etc :).

Yeh, this is the weekend of the Sydney trip. This really sucks. The owner of the Vic GTS-R has finished his other liitle project which has been a big demand on his time. I suspect he will be racing his new toy rather then the R31...but will ask him next Wednesday when i see him

Would you have any idea closer to the date when these cars might be out on the track?

Seems only 1 X R31 is making the journey...but thats cool. There is still the Grp A Jag XJS, Tweedie in his Sierra and Vic's own Gavin Strongman making the first track return of the R32 GTR to the track!. There is the JPS M3 in there and John Bowes old Turbo Volvo 240...along with Commodores, Mustangs and the Group C crowd of Toranas :D

Plus, a friend is debuting his Group NC car this weekend, so should be big!

But, i fear unless the Nissan boys have a real go that the Mike Roddys' Jag is going to eat the field alive :) My poor RB20 :D

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
