Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[badhairdave]

I'll back boz on that one having also been at that day. No issue with calling an additional briefing.

Calmly emphasising basic safety concerns, such as removing loose stuff from the car before going out on the track, is far from going off.

[2lazy]

ahaha I know its like the guy lived in his car, I helped in rolling the car back on its wheels, so much crap came out of the windows, John im not having a go at you and you didnt say anything to him and I 100% agree with what you said on the day but bahah it was just how you said it lol.

About superlap, there were too many people around the pits so on the 2nd superlap we were not allowed the track pits and most people next to the wall were asked to leave, too im sure this was not entirely your decision.

[T04GTR]

unfortunatly at eastern creak there is fark all for spectators. cant stand on the pit wall either. thats for practice days, not sure for superlap. im sure if you sign a cams imdemnity disclaimer as being a pit crew mayby. but i dout it.

most of the gararges should be open. if they are roped off then oh well. but speaking from experiance, i hate trying to fix a car with 10 people over my shoulder. easiest way to leave something loose.

so we will have to see. wrist bands will probably be in order.

[Sinful]

I actually find Eastern Creek quite good for spectating on the roof of the pits and there will also be a massive TV screen displaying all the action on the track as it happens!

Will be lots of chances to get up close and check out the cars over the 2 days

So dont know what the whinging is for...

Stay on topic please....

Only 16 DAYS TO GO...Whoop Whoop!!

I hope the general public isn't allowed actually IN the pit bays. GP likes to souvenir bits of race cars in my experience. Trying to get work done on Mark's car at the test day a few weeks back was hard enough when trying to dodge people having a gander. I'm all for involving the punters as much as possible, but the Guidos usually ruin the experience for everyone by getting in everyone's face too much.

I think the pit areas should be roped off, even if only for safety reasons.

[Sinful]

You are not allowed in the pit area without a twist band and will be managed by officials along the garages

[Superlap Australia]

Spectators are allowed in the pit area just not in the garages.

One for the Victorians to root for. Seems Sam Markovs immaculate and fast R32 GTR has been sold and bought by Tony, and will be piloted by one of Vics most insane JFK! Will be entertaining to see how they go as JFK doesnt mind having a go!

[phunky_monkey]

Nice one. Love that car, and JFK certainly knows how to steer!

[Roy]

Now that the date is looming oh so close, and i have just been royally screwed by work so have no incentive be in asshole 3rd world countries...I am stting in my hotel room thinking like an emotional brat and want to quit and come home....time it that my first weekend home is Superlap weekend. I hope there are plenty of vids!

[Bozman1]

Surprised to see that lack of cars testing atm. I think everybody is in a similar postion with there cars....probably still in a million bits. I was fortunate to put some miles on 2 of my cars (S2000 & CIVIC) yesterday at the creek. Although the lap times did not reflect it, we came away positive knowing that there is alot more time in both cars as we now have pages of changes to make.

Mick Hiscoe (Open EVO) and Waldo (TILTON PRO) were the only other cars I saw yesterday

[Roy]

Can you give us some specs nad updates on the S2000? I rate that car.

[Beer Baron]

[NickR33]

I was thinkin of you the other day Roy, watching some crazy nutters race Tuk Tuks across India to Nepal... I reckon you would have hosed them in a Tuk Tuk with a truck turbo strapped to the side hehehe

With all the chatter about the Pro Class it is worth mentioning that the action in the Open class will also be hotter than ever.

This year will see the turbo S2000 that completely dominated Clubsprint class in 2008, now stepping up to open class with John Boston once again behind the wheel. With a full rebuild now behind it that included a new wide body kit and a set of lightweight Advan rims, a 2.2 litre engine full of Toda internals and Hypertune inlet making close to 550 rwhp this will certainly be one to watch when the flag drops on 21st and 22nd May.

This is a pic from 2008. We tested it yesterday at the Creek for the very first time with the 2.2 stroker, wide body and roll cage. We were running a fairly low boost setting so we could work out what it is was doing. The to do list includes; the brakes were sh!t and need some adjustments, rear end needs alot more tuning, gearing for the diff and power delivery

This car is the hardest car to drive fast atm so with some adjustments, hopefully it will help

Going through T1 at the Creek in 6th gear with the foot on the gas and the car power oversteering might look good, but it is not fast
