Does anyone know if this weekends Brands Hatch Round is being covered at all by TV??

I love the set-up for the A1.

For those that don't know - its 25 countries competiting (Including Australia).

Qualifying is done in four 15min sessions where every car has to perform 1 flying lap (and 1 only) in each of the 15 min sessions and final qualifying is determined by the agregate of the best 2 lap times of the 4 posted for each driver.

The race is split up into 2 races. Firstly a standing start race with the order based upon qualifying. Then a second race which has a rolling start with the starting order determined by finishing order from race 1.

Both races score points and its on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale.

Given all 25 entrants are in identical cars, and given the format I can't see how it won't be sucessfull.

Still no idea who is racing for Oz in Round 1 but I hope it's one of the Wil's. And as I said - hope its on TV!

Which area would be good to see some passing? :)

You know what, I've never been to a race meeting I wasn't racing at, but this I think I will head to.

Can't wait to see it, I love single make racing. I hope it really snots F1 globally, and well done to these guys getting it off the ground when everyone thought it was a joke.

Now, 1 problem....I don't have pay tv....can anyone record and rip it?

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
