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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
