I mentioned 2 suprises earlier in the month, I posted up one, which was my new glorious CE28's on the evo.

Here's the 2nd... First shot is B+W keeping the monthly theme.

Meet Lamington! (I wanted to call her Optimus Prime.)

it's cool because it's not done often i think. I'd probably try to pump up the blacks so its a solid silhoette on one and see if it adds any value.

could even be used a logo template for yourself :) would make a cool watermark in a corner with your name on it.

Yeah i like the silouettes too. Good work serg. Your definitely getting more angles and different stuff! Wish we had tracks like that here besides EC that were easy to access awesome angles from!

Damn Lepper! That is some crazy ink/bodyart!! I can only imagine how long it took to do it all and i bet they are still adding to them. Nice pics!

P.s. That old school car on hydraulics is fcuking crazy!!!!!

Cheers Kory, barbs isn’t really that interesting of a track photography wise, just been shooting there so much that having to look at all options. Very happy with how this year has started though so far.

I’m off to Sepang for the F1 in April so interested to see what I can get out of that over the 3 days

Damn, that ink is epic!!!

Those silhoette shots are great :)

2 shots from sydney, have a whole bunch of photos to go through and edit, shame second day I was out the sky looked like shit but oh well....

Unedited shots from darling harbour:

Edited one photo from sydney, Having a play with the first photo I put up in my last post to get rid of the lense flares in it. There not to bad but playing with photoshop helps me out a bit :)

Its a pretty basic edit, Black and white with a highlighed object in the foreground..... It doesnt look straight... but if I go 1 degree more clockwise it looks worse, so maybe I'll play with smaller angles if photoshop will let me. I realised after this that I should have softened the edges a bit around the bouy possibly...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
