3 Genuine Gibson Motorsport Hr31 Skylines At Sandown Raceway

[31GUN]

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)

i'm down!

what times are they running on the weekend?

[31GUN]

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)

I think this clashes with our NSW motorsport trip... damn...

[Sarumatix]

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 .

[31GUN]

We're only too pleased for you to have a close look.

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

[phunky_monkey]

I'll definately be at this. Love the historics!

[31GUN]

Good and bad news.

Bad- Terry has sold his HR31.

Good- he sold it to Chris (Sizzler car)

Bad- Chris may not be able to make it to Sandown

Good- Terry will be coming to Sandown

Bad- he won't be in the HR31

Good- he will be in the #1 Winfield GT-R

So, whats happening to the Sizzler car?

[31GUN]

Chris will be racing the Sizzler car.

then he'll give it to his brother to race (he's a good steerer also)

And jump into the #2 car.

You might all be interested to know that Gavin Strongman is bringing out his R32 GTR "GIO" racecar for this event also, and apparently ready to do some hot laps

[31GUN]

Coooool!

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

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

[adznight]

So any idea when the Skylines will be out?

[Roy]

Qualifying at 11.20 (15mins)

Race at 3.50pm

Then 11.20 and 3.50 again on Sunday. Im going to be watching the Group NCs as well

[West]

I've got 4 tickets for both day, i only need one for Sunday so if anyone need one, let me know, Mav has my number.

[R32Big_boy]

I'll take one, was going in tomorrow !!!
