Phillip Island Classic 2010

[willL]

Does anyone know when Terry Ashwood is running his GTR?

Have never been to a Phillip Island Classic so am unware of how often and when each car races.

Was a great day, I know a few of the drivers and managed to get some pics of my son driving the DR30.

I saw a couple of GTR's including 3 R35's, but no Sau stickers. Who else made the trek down?

[willL]

^ yep I did, lucky son of yours to be driving that DR30, awesome car.

It was locked away since its last race, Hadn't been started in nearly 20 years apparently.

Still had a lot of the original race parts like asbestos brake pads, you cant get closer to original race spec than that.

[Takahashi GTR]

Spectacular day for all involved, great weather wicked cars. GTR dominated from start to finish. Will be there next year for sure

[Sarumatix]

So the GT-R was actually trying this time?

[scotty nm35]

I heard the RX7 was disqualified, anyone know why?

[willL]

anyone know why the HR31 wasnt there?

[scotty nm35]

I think it was sold to fund the GIO 32 purchace.

[shepo]

Thats correct. at least now we can see that the GIO car is the hands of a very good steerer. though im not sure what happend in the last race on sunday. he bogged down off the line, then miss shifted going from 1st to 2nd, then i think he had an off around the southern loop because when he came back into view around the back toward the hairpin, he was dead last!

it was awesome watching Terry carve his way through the field in the last race! he started at the back because he had a fuel pick up issue in the morning race (of which he was dominating!). in just six laps he managed to get from the back, up to 4th place (from memory).

In the Friday qualifying session Terry clocked a 1:44.9819! thats one for track guys who are going to phillip island in april for the wrx club day to think about...

[scotty nm35]

That was some great driving, for sure.

He had an off due to the fuel the formula 5000 guys dumped on the track.
