Considering i was a 'free agent' this year seemed to work longer and harder than last year!

Long day yesterday arrived at the track at 8am our final GT race finished at 7.15 and didn't leave the track closer to 10 due to a banged up Merc

Car didn't make it out on track but the 2nd one got a podium for the weekend.

The mosler I was 'working' with kept it on the track and after we discussed some changes on friday night the car picked up 5secs a lap to be competitive today

was great to see the crowds all comment on how interesting the GT races were this year.

and if anyone wants to buy me a AMG SLS i won't say no :worship:

And here come the shameless promo girl pics :D ..... not nearly as many there this year as previous years :( .... but not too bad all the same.

Most of them were behind the pits I found over the last 2 days, ran into a couple in there that i knew ( the joys of throwing after parties :nyaanyaa: )

but over all I thought they were down, and unlike you i don't go out of my way to find them lol

GT had some today for the podium presentation in the paddocks

*EDIT* there are a few more back there behind the drivers

Those AMG cars sounded awesome, but someone has to tell me what the hell was in that Ferrari that lead most the race on Sunday! Thing flew down to that Senna Chicane like an F1 car! The GT40 thought it could fly....backwards into the barrier.

Least the young lad is being taught at a young age :P

Yep the SLS is very Awesome..... not that i'm biased.

The answer to the 458 is Alan Simonsen... if you own a Ferrari and want it to win you give him a call.

Car is same spec and similar speeds to the Merc, but it gets around with a lot more drama and noise, where as the Merc doing similar lap times are some what more relaxed / lethargic sounding so its quite deceptive.

I'm still blown away at the crowds reaction to the GT races this year, its all been so positive its amazing to hear / see.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
