re the results that was for the last session.

Unfort a few of us had issues during the day so didn't make it to the end.

(mechanical issues not track based issues)

so add another 5-6 cars in there.

So a disclaimer for my commentary...

in my current seat I have around 1 cm clearance between my helmet and the roof.

SO small bumps become very big ones quickly for me.

(just ask my physio)

plus I was in a crap mood as My car started back firing.

anyhow after this one I have finally cracked the big one and the new seat will def be in for Nats.

Richo had i think 2 sessions of mine on his GoPro, so no doubt he'll upload that @ some point.

There were heaps of other cameras too so hopefully more footage should appear.

Here is one Martin has already done

WORK WARNNING FOR COMMENTARY

I did just lost the plot with a coughing, laughing fit watching the first 45 seconds....nice work Martin. I LOVE the commentary. I guess that was your first session

Russ, that seems to have a lot of pull for 245rwkws.

Dont tell me you have ImayhaveanRB25butitdoesntreallymakeanypowernotrulyitdoesntitsdown50rwkwsbecauseithasoldsparkplugs-itis :whistling:

Nah mate. It's making 285rwkw's now! Since before superlap :) It's nice power haha

is that right? only 5 people in street class and 7 in 'tuner' class? everyone wins a trophy day?

that's just the last session of the day

a few cars did not make it to the end, (eg me)

plus cars like the chasers evo had more than one driver but only one drove in the last session

that said yeah not the largest turn out.

They only did street & tuner outright, street & tuner 2wd and 4wd trophies in the end I believe.

Was really looking forward to my *by default* tuner GTR trophy haha

lol: "the two sweetest word in the English language... de...fault".

bummer, still you can tell people you won the GTR class at Australian Track Battle Time Attack. congratulations. :)

and yes well done to russ and newton too. still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I got the 4WD trophy for street class by default in the end LOL.

The bluebird in my category killed a motor, and the few EVOs that were meant to be street all rocked up on semi comps on the actual day and were moved class :/

still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I'm sure now that people have seen how much fun it is there will be a better turn out in the future. I reckon it would be just as fun to do the drift course. Maybe my drift car will be ready for the next one?

After seeing it up close over the whole weekend, i'll be there next year and so will Piggaz so there's 2 more GTR's to get in Ash's way.

Shame the grip guys got screwed with sessions, WAY too long between sessions vs the intervals for the drifters. Also the morning organization was just a joke, I hope someone got told off for that.

Russ, why bother with the drift car? It wont be straight after the weekend anyway haha. What carnage that drift session was.

I told you two monkeys you'd regret not entering!

The drifting carnage was awesome. Not many events with that level or carnage in Oz, made for really excellent viewing.

It was funny, usually you see the drifters with arms and legs out, doors open and other tomfoolery...

There was none of that shit this time :D

Drift car is allowed to hit walls :) Have you seen our build in build section. Femno started the topic.

Had a good day, was depressed in the morning for sure. With the timing issues we had 4 hot laps up to 2PM. The the poor bloke running the time attack side of things was coping it from all over, he did a good job to keep us all under control.

In the arvo they improved the format after some discussion with us, and many more laps were had.

lol at the cone they put out at the end....Russ noticed it, but I think he miss interpreted which side of the cone he should be going....

Fun day in the end, need more grip cars next time around. You're all a bunch of pansies for not entering. As the track is something you cannot get anywhere else.

- The transition onto the dome is too harsh, the grassed area needs to be surface and will be ok.

- The bump out the back is too large, need cut and smooth.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • 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.
