Hi Guys. I shoot for SpeedNation and was wanting to come down to the event to cover it. Was wondering off someone can send me a message for what I have to do for media accreditation. I am CAMS accredited etc etc

Cheers

A couple from the recent Time Attack at Phillip Island.

A very full field again. But after lunch it thinned out.

I wasn't supposed to be in the skyline, so we threw the old a050 on and bamb 1.40.5 with traffic.

Car has a 37 in it.

I had a late night with some mates and went out to my car to drive home at about 3:30am Sunday morning, and the ice buildup was about half a cm thick, I can't imagine what it was like down at PI.

How chilly was it down there? I'm guessing the Siberian air came and cut through everyone?

I managed to reel off a 1:53.8 in my Little Red Rocket. It's my first time out at Phillip Island.

LOVE LOVE LOVE The first and last turns. G-Forces for days. May need a better seat!

Looks like I've busted the clutch bracket and I left after three sessions, but this is an easy fix.

Can live with that one!

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
