  1. The reason why Townsville was so successful is because it's 1500km away from another track, let alone any other form of sport. I'd put a large sum of money on it that 1/3rd of the attendence have never seen a v8 race on tv before and never will again... they went simply because of the experience and it was the biggest show in town. If Harrington Park didn't exist, Oran Park would continue to exist. It was simply the next large block of land along The Northern Rd ready to be developed and their was too much money on offer for the owners to pass up. Homebush will be another average turnout although because it is a street race you will once again get part of the attendence that have never seen a v8 race before and never will again, simply go for the experience. I say average because unlike Townsville, their are many different sporting codes around Sydney for the population to follow.
  2. Just do the normal bedding in procedure then do 2 laps without using the brakes at all. That's what the first session is for.
  3. lol Rubens a sore loser!
  4. Glad im watching BBC and not OneHD, probably would have kicked my samsung lcd in half now with the amount of 'Australia's Mark Webber' comments from Greg Rust.
  5. 6pm news tomorrow might actually recognise F1 as a sport now that an aussie has won. I'll sleep so much better now that he has won.... for the next 4hrs until I have to get up for work
  6. Kimi gone for another icecream
  7. Cancel his Aussie citizenship please.
  8. As usual my OneHD has been working fine all weekend then just as I switch on the tv to watch abit of F1 the reception goes to shit
  9. Designed and built in USA more than 10yrs ago (with minor updates done to chassis and new shell designs over the past 10yrs). I'd much much rather be in an accident or rollover in my nascup (baby grand mmra) car than in the current Aussie Racing Cars due to the chassis/cage design. But then, i'd much much rather own an Aussie Racing Car than my Nascup car but not for the extra $20k purchase price.
  10. Can't wait till this is available on Foxtel in the next month or 2, i keep forgetting about the channel and since getting Foxtel IQ I don't have the patience to sit down and watch shows live, only from the IQ box so I can pause and FF the ads.
  11. Ive only been going up to 9000rpm so far, still getting a feel for it Actually was way more confident in it at OP compared to Wakefield, I didnt once lock a brake, run wide, grab the wrong pedal by accident, miss a gear or anything it was a faultless day, just needed about another 3 sessions to start pushing faster lap times.
  12. I dont have a speedo in my little car, if i did id probably shit myself more and slow down
  13. Which is why a twin axle is safer because the second axle prevents this.
  14. I've already got Foxtel installed on the basic package with IQ1 which is the best thing since sliced bread but I can't get OneHD on the IQ2 box (not in my area or something which is weird because I thought the idea of satellite was that 'area' became obsolete). It would have been cheaper for me to pay an extra $10/mth for IQ2 giving me access to OneHD than it would be to spend $340 on getting a new antenna installed.
  15. I paid $70 for a bloke to come out yesterday and fix my reception problems just so I can watch OneHD. Turns out I need a better aerial at $340 grr. The sooner OneHD is available on Foxtel the better!
  16. Webber only did what he had to do where as Vettel was still vunerable. I think Webber could have dipped intothe 17's.
  17. Q1 is on now. If Vettel and Webber aren't both on the podium on Sunday night ill be pissed.

  19. Webber and Vettel are on the pace early, quite out of the ordinary for RBR.
  20. bah weekday trackdays
  21. Yup anyone that has pics of my little blue car shoot me a pm please
  22. Wow I only ever heard yours as you overtook me each time, sounds wicked from trackside. lol at my little thing cracking and popping the whole way down the main straight as I roll into turn 1.
  23. If it was Foxtel they could fit it into 1hr.
  24. lol Took 45L in total and came home with 25L
  25. Shocking 60ft, u dont need power you need grip.
