Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

[Swiper the Fox]

We came 15th out of 40 in class and 16th overall out of 74. We will be aiming for top 5 next time round. Might need a few more laps and better than OEM brakes to do it though. The cars probably good for a 1.14 set-up how Luke wants it...he was on a 1.16 on his last lap before stopping due to oil in engine bay.

What an awesome event

A big thank you and congratulations to the event organizers for putting on a spectacle which was well worth the time, money and effort to get the car down to Oran park to compete in.

Great turnout, atmosphere and live commentary. In my opinion it really helped the race teams see where they where in terms of ranking and the blow by blow battle between the R32's and Lotus's was fantastic to hear from a spectator point of view.

Was fun to watch the Hipower Racing CRX keep a few of the GT-R's and Evolution's honest in open class. The team is already planning out what it can do for the next event to improve on it's 1.19, wasn't too shabby considering it was a first time on Oran park for the car.

The point I'd like to stress for the next Superlap would have to be the call for more on-track marshals. I was standing at the closest spectator point to the roll over of the Evolution and it took way to long for the incident to be communicated to the drivers; or race control who were running on the circuit.

photo of the event I think.

and yes, even with that giant cloud he pushed on oblivious towards his pb of a 1:40 lap.

Looks like it was a great day, apart from the incidences of course.

I'm really dissapointed I couldn't get there, but what can ya do I guess... congrats to all that ran

What happened to the side of Adz's car? Sand trap?

Yeah - turn 1 decided it wanted to keep his side skirt!!

[phunky_monkey]

Actually looks pretty tough like that!

[gtrvspec95]

Yeah - turn 1 decided it wanted to keep his side skirt!!

'OM NOM NOM NOM !!!' said Mr sand trap

I don't think the RX7 spilt any oil did it?

In his defence, it was probably just burning oil, not spilling it, since one of the seals blew.

Although why he went around another lap is beyond me..........................................

[Bec]

Well.... it was more of a trade really.

Turn 1 took the side skirt and Newton brought back a heap of dirt and grass - in the car, in the rims, in the front bar......

Yeah i had a good look at the track after he went past and didnt see a drop. We probably dropped more oil than him.

Already got a decent catch can set-up (same as twoogle's) ready to go on the car to prevent the disaster we had on Saturday.

Yeah indicative of the smoke in the air as opposed to the oil on the ground.

good old two stroke motors! lol

Hey DiRTgarage we were on a 1 min 10 before we broke traction.

Slot car came 6th. Missed the all important top 5 but considering the top 5 open class cars are big budget cars and teams, not so bad I guess with more in it. With softer rear springs required as she was oversteering a lot and bit less neg camber in front as inside tyres in front getting much hotter than outside and understeering a bit. Lots more in the car yet. This one was huge and next one cars will be better and event will be bigger.

Also big well done to Russ giving that R35 heaps and pushing it hard enough to come off the track, so not holding back. Also Mark just being beaten by those pesky Lotuses? Still awesome time though. Not sure how I will ever catch you guys, maybe a bigger rear wing??

Actual Times here.

Superlap TImes.
