it should be on TV NEXT week,why not live its not like they aren't making any money from the event (and Mr Gore isn't exactly short of money either). after all there is very little advertising for the event.

saw the MPS 3 on the news, what a huge F'ing accident, even left its engine on the side of the track

congrats to the Evo Boys for 1st and 2nd with both a lap ahead of last years winners in the 335i

7 safety car sessions with a total of 22 laps!!! I'm sure we will see more than that in October

We thought we had him beat as well, but they got it going again. I hate pace cars, we got screwed twice, but it wasn't as bad as last year when it was 3 times.

yeah we raced against that car at the enduro at oran park last year. would love to know how they managed such a big one.

How did everything go Gary, smooth as usual? that integra has been very reliable over some long races.

I was there on Saturday for the Qualifying session + the first HQ race, took plenty of pics...

seems like a few of the guys here were involved?... if you were in a particular car let me know, I got pics of just about everyone in the field.

here is a small selection... (FYI Canon 20D + 300mm lens)

That BMW has some serious acne going on...

Hooked a wheel off the track before the chase @ 245+ kph, spun it sideways into the sand trap, the sand and side on wheels did the rest

Put some new brakes pads in it, fill it up with gas and it would do another 12 hours.

Gary, this isn't the same Integra that did the Sepang 24hr last year is it?

Nope, it did the 12 hour last year, plus a couple of 2 hours and a few rounds of the Production Car Championship. Looking like a 2 car team next year, that'll make my brain hurt.

Cheers

Don't quite follow 'hooked a wheel off'. Got one wheel off the track? Into gravel or something that grabbed the wheel?

I wasn't there but I'm sure that's what he means. There is nothing like the outside wheel digging in (especially if its a drop off the track and the suspension is already loaded) to flip a car.

Exactly why all of the F1 tracks are getting rid of gravel/sand/kitty litter and using tar run offs instead - they stop the big flips and 90% of the big crashes. Don't help if your brakes aren't working though which kitty litter is great for.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
