Well - actually - I have been to AUS well over 20 times and have another business in SYD - I have been a racing fan for many years and I love AUS - Port Douglas used to be my favorite haunt until investors set it - and no I do not know what you are refering to - but my website is dedicated to the upcoming stars over here - and Marcos is one hell of a great guy. You should all be proud!

Check up on you're mate now and then - he's giving it a great go

'Ambrose'

And yes we like him too... well now we do, when he was fighting with Murph up on the mountain he was being an arse... but i dont expect you'll know what im talking about, so carry on

Being an arse must = taking issue with Murph for being his typical F-wit self. :)

If your ingterested in a crew position with NASCAR = go to www.thehotlap.com and look at forum NEW BUSCH TEAM

Might be an opportunity for any of you in that position

To be honest I've been following Marcos Ambrose this season in NASCAR and surprisingly it has got me interested in NASCAR. Ambrose is currently 10th in the Busch series standings and 2nd rookie. He's had a couple of bad rounds the last few weeks but this week they race on the F1 circuit in Montreal and next week is Watkins Glen... a couple of road courses should be good for him.

Seriously as a fan of all motorsports I never thought I could ever like NASCAR... dinosaur cars (still with carbies), circle racing, etc. But this year (I have Foxtel) I've found it 10 times more interesting than V8supercars or F1. Still can't watch a whole circle race start to finish but they pass each other so many times on a lap... and they race week in week out. In F1 they qualify in position then spread out over the race with the occasional pass in the pits (last weeks race excluded).

+1

that is, until I did some reading on the history of it. One of the2 best "birth of motorsport" stories eva!!

Go Ambrose.

and Murphy is STILL a dick

all i will say ... that following him in the busch series is like watching another bloke .... He shows respect in NASCAR while in our SUPA V8 series he acted constantly like a whining kid.

wonder if the yanks know about his little extra wire hanging out the motec m800 >_<

Good luck to him

LOL you ran out of people to quote, so you quoted yourself

awesome

I guess that was prety lame - LOL

Having good fun anyway. I'm very interested in the V8 Supercar series over there - can anyone point me to a good website so I can follow it around and check things out. Least I can do for everyone following Ambros over here and www.thehotlap.com

I will be down under sometime in March or late February and would love to go to a race - in fact I will make it a point.

Cheers

Yeah I was never a fan of oval racing until last year when we got to race on the dome at Calder Park as part of the Calder Rally Masters. Going flat out around there was intense and that was 1 car out at at time. So doing it with other cars 5cm's away all around you must take some serious big ones.

    • Yeah it was a good result, and confirming the car is full of fluids and all interior etc in, other than fuel. I think a few pages back (maybe many pages!) he mentioned some serious lightening in the doors with the chassis punch, might have been done elsewhere I hadn't seen yet too
    • He still had the suspension dialled in for him! I would have sworn the lowest weight he ever got to was 1300kg though Maybe Neil had been drilling a LOT of holes somewhere you haven't found yet... 😛 Or has he also drained all the gearbox and diff oil out too, between it, and a tank full of fuel there's about 65kg to 70kg to add back in I'd guess. 😛
    • Yeah this isn't a super complex shape, but I was still happy to buy instead of fab version 1; very little in a modern can is a flat surface, and that is true here again - the undertray has about 50mm in height differences that I would have had to work out myself. I will probably make something more substantial before it does any rally, I don't think 1mm steel is too much use as a bash plate. There is also cooling to think about, Z1 have done a bit of development and have some air holes and louvers in the shape, will see how that works out too
    • If it's been tuned idle rpm can be changed.
    • Very slightly as there are bars connecting both sides of the ramp. The only difficulty that I had was doing the gearbox, everything else so far has been ok
