ok, I'll be the first to post an update - I think everyone else is probably at the pub.

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

Best save of the day - JOHN PENLINGTON coming on to the front straight and going wide and not binning it - ON THE GRASSS for nearly 200 meters at about 180 KMH it looked like - nice one :O

Most frustrating part of the weekend - SATURDAY - massive turn out and subsequent massive traffic with 24 cars on track - was a pain in the arse.

Best flame show - me I think - the back of my car looks a bit like a chimney.

Was a great 2 days and I had a blast - but I'm totally rooted and need some sleep

:O

Another tops day at the Island! New PB of a flat 1:52 which I was wrapped with considering it was my semis last outing. Also got to beat a GT3 (on the track anyway...not sure of laptime comparison) and couple of 911's and a new S4.

Lol the grip of my tyres was no where near where they used to be and as a result it was a bit of a handful.....had the car drift in turn 11 pulling hard in 3rd gear and she ran a little wide at the exit of turn two which put two tyres onto the dirt.

Only frustration for me was the bloody S4....was on his tail from the exit of Siberia and he just wouldn't let me pass so was forced to duck under him and overtake him thru hayshed on the inside!

Sorry to see people have dramas and the sight of John P's car coming back into the pits after daisy cutting was pretty funny (but I can imagine it wasn't so funny in the drivers seat at the time!).

Does anyone know where I can find results from the day...is it posted on the piarc website?

Marcovs R32 on Sunday was even faster......

That car is insane. It used to be insane - now its even more so.

He came up behind me so fast onto the front straight I'm sure he nearly ran into the back of me. :P

What time did he eventually put down?

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
