Apparently the entire track will be resurfaced in December 2012 - January 2013 - so it will be shut for approximately 2 months. Following the V8SC 500kms and few other car events race track suffered some wear and tear, causing bumps in turn 1 and in major braking areas. Not sure when they resurfaced it last - I am guessing it was in 2002-2003.

Can see a whole heap of PB's in 2013 if they get the bitumen mixture right - it would be shame if track loses its grippiness.

Can they bring the old surface to Sydney and lay it in a paddock somewhere :)

LOL

If not Sydney we have a heap of land here in the hunter that could be used for a track. We just need to the tinkler motorsport group on the case I think.

Interesting. The surface is the best in vic already. Like said above I wish they would resurface other places first. Winton... Calder... Sandown... Thunderdome??? haha All very poor surfaces.

Tetley insists that the V8SC's are mainly responsible for the bumps at QR, particularly in the braking zones. For someone who is there a lot of the time I guess that he would be aware of any deterioration on a regular basis.

Yeah, Sandown is a bit of a shocker - I'm slow and even I thought its too bumpy, I can't imagine how you fast guys feel driving there. Maybe V8SC guys should kick up a stink so track owners are forced to fix other tracks too :rolleyes:..........while still maintaining current entry prices.........dreaming.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
