Darkside Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I guess this type of driveshaft failure is normal on 35 GTRs? I guess he is glad it happened at the media day and not day 1 of competition.

Duncan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 hey? did wilfred get his hands on an australian driver's license?

Marlin Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 lol, evidently he did Steve and Bernie are using Nagg's R35. Steve has co-driven the car previously. Rullo just has no luck with that thing..... I do rate how he always seems to keep on smiling though! It does have lots of grunt!

Duncan Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 haha it chirps 6th! I figured there must be something wrong in the box to break 2 shafts, but maybe it just does have a lot of go. very impressive for a standard car.

Snowman Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You can get them to over 450kw@wheels in Targa spec. Keeping them there is a totally different story. I've backed mine right back now to try and keep the thing on the road! Anyways - for those lucky enough to be there have a great week. It's about now I start to wish I was there again.

I figured there must be something wrong in the box to break 2 shafts, but maybe it just does have a lot of go. very impressive for a standard car. He runs the full MoTeC (M1??) ECU too I think that ignores all the warnings and safety measures the factory computer has that would normally save components of the car as illustrated in the power skid Edited April 16, 2013 by Darkside Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/280/#findComment-6817458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good luck to competitors. Woudl be good fun to be servicing and driving around in lala land for a week but perhaps next year.

Darkside Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just had a quick look at some prologue results...for what they are worth.....have a bit of an interest in classic.... Broadbent getting his old RS porkchop around in the same time as Richards GT2RS. That thing of Broadbents must go ok.... 5th outright on the prologue.... Also something about Hendy stopping on Kayena. Was hanging my hat on him for EM victory.... Be gutted if he cops a snot time so early in the piece.

Snowman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Ah that explains why I couldn't find Tim's result. Fingers crossed he get's away with it - but it almost looks like Day 0 counts this year? Can anyone confirm if these 2 stages are more than just a shake-down / seeding procedure this year? I presume not because there are some weird / slow results from guys you'd expect on the pace in all categories.

Darkside Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 ^^^ Surely they are either very achievable base times or just for seeding??

Snowman Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Anyways - seems Hendy busted a drive shaft on launch. New one on it's way from Racepace now.

Bazil_1 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So that's what it was. We went past him about 300m from the start. The first two are elapsed time not base time and are only for seeding for tomorrows start. Congrats on the trophy Ben!

2pee Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Struck by the amount of negative commentary on Targa news stories down south over the past few days. This is fairly tame though http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2013/04/16/377074_sport-news.html MW in a Porka fluffing multiple starts a day!

Duncan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 lol that would be funny to watch. to be honest I think they'd be better to focus on making the event affordable to get the volume of competitors up; the start time list has only 177 cars. good luck today for everyone lucky enough to be there!
