Sau Motorsport Round 1 Phillip Island


FINER6
 Share

Recommended Posts

had a look under the bonnet and everything was intact, but looked like fuel had run amok somehow. was covering the front intercooler piping near the headers. So i reckon fuel + heat. Very lucky no ignition. It was on E85, so didnt smell like petrol or oil, perhaps makes a different smoke.

Was a great day to kick the new year off going around in circles :yes:

The heat kept me from setting a PB, but still managed to have a couple of exciting moments...

PS. the noise on my videos from tyre squeal gets me giggling like a school girl.

Another awesome event! Lucky there was a nice sea breeze cos it was hot out there!!

Great video FINER6 of the Evo! We were walking to the pits and all of a sudden saw the Evo's massive plume of smoke! Wish we had a photo of it but was too in awe of what was going on! haha

A few of our photos from the event. We've posted a short writeup too http://www.circuitthreads.com/wrx-sau-round-1-phillip-island/

Hope to make the next round!

Some nice photos in there. Noticed a few photographers in various spots, love to see some more around the track.

In car and data of my PB and FTD.

Really liked your 86! the colour looks really nice with the sun shining off it!

Managed to get down to turn 1 and planned to see how far we could get around the track....but then got told off by the marshalls!

Artz and I were sitting in that "spectators" section as well and got told off. AND got told off for watching from where the cars enter back to pits

Funny bunch they are. If it makes you feel any better scrutineering gave me a hard time over my velo harness for being FIA and SFI certified, then tried to tell me that it wasn't possible and must be fake or mismatched set.

Something for the SAU committee but what about hiring a garage at these events for the club?

Few people usually get them to get out of the weather so instead maybe get one as SAU for all the club members to gather and shoot the breeze between sessions?
