Isnt that the same move Beer Baron "pulled off" on his R32?

Shame to see it happen! Any cause known for the other one catching fire?

Well, not to appear vulture like, it looks like it has had a major bottom end failure and sprayed oil all over the engine bay, ignited on the exhaust and took off.

A few guys on track stopped and helped to put it out. About 6 extinguishers all told. If the guy is on here, it's only money - just fix it and get back out there.

PIARC yesterday - 1.48.4 -just too much traffic with 24 cars on track and being released pretty much at the same time.

Tried to follow Sam in his thing, but lasted the length of the front straight on the out lap - wicked machine.

The 1.47 will have to wait for 2 weeks.

Good work Andrew...any footage? New tyres or old? I think once you, Ant and Ferni drop below the 49s thats it for me for having anyone i can play with :)

Yes, have some that I haven't cut up yet. Prob do that tonight.

It wasn't my PB - did a 1.48 flat last time - so close it's frustrating.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
