Yeah... and the drifting effort was pretty poor through turn 2... I spose they were going for lap times... and backwards around the track... but shit... they are FRIGGIN RALLY DRIVERS...

Would have been good to see the gravel stage... so what if it has turned to a mud stage due to a weeks rain???

Pete was drunk I say...

[benm]

It certainly was different but i dont think i could stand much more than 2hrs worth.

ROFL with the Ford driver who only made it 3 corners hahahah.

benm I called the 04gotskank number and geez it sounded like Tosh on the other end.....

Yeah it wasn't too spectator friendly. The one I went to in Canberra at the stadium a few years ago was great.

It would be great to see something similar at Homebush.

[Doctor]

Yeah bit of a dissapointment really. Oh well we all got to have a good laugh at Pete.

By the way, Thanks for the lift Dino and Dan thanks for getting those beers on your way.

Hmm, can you say uuunnndddeeerrrsssttteeeeeerrr..

some of the guys that were running soft compound rally tyres were having heaps of problems on the skidpan. The guys with the bigger budgets / tyre sponsorships were running a road based tyre, so they seemed to fair better (stage times showed this too)

I was pissed off that they canned the gravel stage, (we had a great media point scoped out) but I had a look at some sections and seriously, the track was really bad.

Lucky for Cody that they gravel section was canned as originally the service after the first Tarmac run was a tyre change only, but as they ran the tarmac stage twice instead, they made it a 20 min service - so he was able to change his gearbox.. (well, his crew was able to anyway )

I guess it's fair enough about the track. Damn Sydney weather...we don't get any rain for months when we need it, then this.
