how good is the FIA GT1 lately? so much passing I don't know what to do with myself. watched race 1 at interlagos the other day. was interesting after recently watching F1 race there.... The GT1 boys have no trouble sliding past each other. and the noises. my god the noises. apart from that all the cars look fantastic.

some people might tell you its down to the operational differences between the GT-R and Subi/Mitsu awd systems, but we all know it's actually because Godzilla is a real mans 4 wheeler :D

thanks guys. I've got lots of incar from my car in that race on youtube (it was much wetter than the TV cameras showed), but I really wanted people to know that you can watch Australian motorsport on TV that is not just taxis.

Hopefully they got the viewing numbers they need to, to go ahead with the plans to televise the whole champs next year as part of a 20 series show on Speed.

Lots of us complain about how boring supertaxis are....so support something different with your eyeballs :D

I find the NSW state rounds more fun to watch than V8 stupid cars. Most of the classes relate and they actually do some overtaking. When I have some time between Duncan's sessions you will find me checking out the other classes. I particular like the under 2L improved prodies,,,.

Cheers

Neil.

duncan and everyone else. if you want this to happen you need to contact foxtel and/or speed channel (it's not a foxtel owned channel) and let them know you LOVE the new channel speed and you LOVE coverage of local racing championships. otherwise it will just fade away. they now have a one in one out policy so for every new channel that gets added an old one gets cut. I can't remember which they cut for speed (may have been the "how to" channel). They need this feedback to know they are on the right track. ratings are so easily skewed since so few people participate in TV ratings. in reality they have NFI what people are watching so we have to let them know. :)

I have already done so. Hell even tell them you are a member of a car club with branches in most states of Australia and that the new Speed channel and is a hot topic of discussion with lots of new viewers watching it. :) I know I already have.

All that aside, great race dunc. the start was awesome! shame the 'moment' at T3 cost you 2 places but up till then you had those guys covered despite a clear power difference between the cars. I guess the wet evens that up a bit but it's still a tough track to keep fast cars behind you. :) well done mate. it must be nice to hear "Duncan Handley" mentioned on TV with nice things being said.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
