well to be fair, they did deliver a hilarious moment when cars made it down pit lane quciker than the safety car drove down the main straight.....meaning all the cars leaving the pits overtook the cars on the track....and they had to slow down to let the safety car ahead.

From a spectator standpoint its a very bad track, if you also considering money spent for how entertaining it is, it is the worst track ever conceived.

Yes I think there is definitely a bit of Bernie worship going on in V8SC.

I'm not even going to go into what is wrong with racing these days, I seriously just don't have the time.

it was replayed on speedHD (and non hd) with all the safety car periods shortened etc. I recorded both races on fox and watched race 2 last night. it was not bad I thought? good battle between bright and courteny. I was glad to see courteny win the championship last year but it would have been cool to see bright get past him (and stay there) for the win. he drove a great race and certainly deserved a victory for it. I bumped into bright outside my office last year where he was doing promo work ahead of the homebush race and he's a good bloke. No win for 5 years is a bit of a dry patch and having BJR winless it would have been a big deal to those guys. I'll bet they'll be checking the size of courtenys fuel tank and surge tank after he somehow managed to run about 4 laps more on the same amount of fuel than anybody else..... :ermm:

BTW what did lowndes do to ingall? all I saw was the two of them off track with ingalls car busted and lowndes with front damage (that was apparently repaired to get him back out but he then copped a penalty). I didn't see the replays as they must have been replaying it during the safety car which gets cut down a bit from the speed coverage.

The battle for 1st and 2nd was good...the rest was shit

Chromly and Skaife always go on about fuel and how a well placed car will run out just before the end...yet they never do....

Wasnt Longhurst vs Morris quality.

"There was a bit of push and shove," Holdsworth said

"I went up and asked for an apology because he took me out, but he wouldn't give me one. I told him what I thought of him and he pushed me and it got a bit ugly.

Which I guess means it looked like two girls going at it with handbags.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
