i think the "type r" updates the the lambo have done wonders for it? Did White Hot or SupaLoc racing homoligate the changes?

Probably. I know SupaLoc are trying to incorperate crumped front ends into the changes now as well.

Actually whilst Week's latest effort will still probably cost more than all of our cars on here to fix - it looks like he's got away damn lucky as the chasis rails and all the suspension components seem to be ok.

Brilliant to see Dan on the podium - I have a choice photo of Dan & his champagne which I'll have to post later on (unless a suitable bribe comes my way today)

I dont remember it being too incriminating... :)

Looking at our pace, we were just under .5sec/km slower than the Early Modern winning 996 Turbo so over 200 competitive that left us trailing by 87 seconds. Maybe next time on softer tyres (we weren't on Ms) and with a few subtle tweaks to the suspension settings we will be able to ride the bumps better and show a little more pace :)

Bring on Lake Mountain :P

I know Weeks binned it but haven't seen pics. Was it the same old car repaired or a new one?

And yeah, the Type R spec has transformed the Lambos, and they're actually getting the power you'd expect from them now too.

It was certainly a real mess (the '09 car), but it takes a lot to "write off" a vehicle of that value...... Like, YT bent his like a banana in 2006 after his big jump over a culvert drain (the extruded alloy chassis rails between the passengers and the engine) and it was repaired fine.

The offending valve that just came out of YT's engine....... definately would have caused a drama. lol

I was chatting to him before the presentations and he mentioned the need to change how he drove the raging bull. Instead of relying on teh powah to pull him down the straights, he was finding the need to try and carry more corner speed. How that is possible...I don't know :P

Anyone heard any more re that pic of Jones runnin that epic cut?

There weren't any corners listed as having a penalty for cutting this year, so I doubt anything will come out of.

Good to see no chicanes there too :P

I was under the understanding that no corners should be cut, just the ones with lines had a judge of fact on them, and if cut would result in epic rape. Looks like a good bash plate is the go for some epic corner cutting later in the year.

My thoughts exactly...... it's TARMAC rallying not farken WRC. Where Benson when ya need him? :P

As I said earlier - last year before all Octogon events there was specific mention of the "no cutting corners with white lines"

This year there was nothing so I can't see how he can be penalized.

It's in the Supp regs

I heard that Weeks was quitting the rally scene and going back to circuit racing??

Anyone care to elaborate?

Yeah i herd the same thing that he has lost his nerve abit, but maybe like Garwood after his smash in Targa a couple of years ago said he would never race a car again and he came back better than ever, it might just take time before he's keen again

It's in the Supp regs

Bit iffy unfortunately (for those who like to read the rules to the letter to bend them) because I don't recall seeing a bulletin?

From the regs.....

18. Cutting Corners

Any competitor who is observed taking a line that results in a complete tyre (front and / or rear) passing beyond the white line on pre-determined corners and

thus leave the tarmac surface will receive a penalty as follows:

• First Observed Offence: 30 seconds

• Any further offence will be the first offence plus 30 seconds for each subsequent offence

These locations will be advised in a bulletin.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
