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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
