Do I need to keep this weekend free?

cudos on a good one Slothman. I'll be putting that one in the old memory bank for future reference

 

you're quite senistive ;-)

 

It actually requires very little skill aside from Knowing the flags and the procedure. The event management stuff is a bit more involved.
You can usually get someone to cover for you whilst you do your run in a Hillclimb and it's a club thing so we actually help each other out. Strange thinking for a lot of you selfish prats.

Technically they are almost identical ... Space frame chassis, limited engines (Pushrod OMG) size weight etc

Feral and tribal is the best honour they may have in my life.

Sports cars and formula is real racing. Taxis belong in plebian driveways for carrying kids to school.

Smooth roads

Let us leave this alone and allow the thread to pursue the bitches and whines of those who feel that not getting the new release of their new toy gives them some entitlement.

 

You know that feeling like you've been cheated out of due credit, Damn it! If only I'd of thought harder about that classic saying this could of been me banking the cudos, the disappointment is almost as much as coming here every 2 hours!

 

2hours is an exaggeration though and wishful thinking.... it's more every 30minutes actually!

 

You can't polish a turd and a V8 supercar is as polished you can make that particular turd.
I have a 1978 Cortina that laps the creek 4 seconds faster than a V8Superturd.

Ford 9" diff. hewland box, motec management, restricted heads and crank, parity derived aero package.
GET REAL they are all the same car. Fast and well engineered I'll concede, but still a NASCAR that can turn right.

 

2:04 in a Cortina damn!! I'm impressed with that time!

 

I don't doubt the time, maybe it's got a huge Cosworth in it, this would make sense! Would be a scary car if doing those sorts of times around Bathurst

 

No not at all it's just that I look on racing at the premiere level as a contribution to improving efficiency. I don't think that having dinosaur pushrod engines and such exclusive rules help.
I know that they will always be part of the redneck culture that is part of Australian culture and like NASCAR your southern feel.
It doesn't make them racecars. I did flags here for a trackday and there where 6-7 cars that blew the soupcan record into the weeds, they were not going for times but just shakingdown their cars for the GT3 12 hour.

If you like the racing, go for it. The BTCC has better racing and they can compete with others around the world. DTM has without doubt the best tin tops in the world. I still believe that the only race worth winning is Le Mans.
At least we now have the chance to run world class GT's here with the 12hr in Feb.
I am so excited

 

FTFY

 

260kw and 907KG
5 yrs of work and I can't count the dollars
It sticks and it goes real hard.

1:29.78 But really loose

 

Having an opinion is all well and good, launching a crusade against a series and it's fans is another thing. I don't like V8SC either but I'm happy to let those who do enjoy it for what it is. I hate Fat Yak beer, some love it, who cares?

 

Lol Brycevr, you have just lost all your credibility. I'm not sure if I can read many more posts by you without laughing. You live in a very weird, spaced out dream world.

The fastest lap recorded at Bathurst was a 2:06, by a V8 supercar. It is not the official record because it was not during a race. Here is a list of all the lap records, as copied and pasted by wikipedia.

 

Everybody knows that the "Estrella Galicia" (tasted while you're doing the "Camino") is by far the best beer, so what?

 

this site is slllloooowww for me!

 

It took me 2 yrs to model it into RF1 properly.
Another year to get my motec to match the RF feeds.
RF was my development engine for changes it must have saved me about 10K. being a hobby racer, that sort of dough mattered a lot to me.
Soupcans have million dollar budgets and trash technology.
More polishing turds again.

 

I was quoting an Eastern creek time
Bathust is a very specific track that loves speed and not handling.
I have yet been able to do a full Mount lap in anger but I'm hoping for a 2:10 My car is not geared for the straight and if i gear it so I'll lose the pull from the corners

 

Beer is best tasted when watching Formula 1.
