LAMBO goes fastest, YT and Lambo Super Alfabet win the proluge by 5 second's

Yes was fast, and looked fast n smooth... other lambo driver has alledgedly thrown the teddie out of the cot because he doesnt have one.

With no Chicane the times were all over the show. Those who dont want the sweep car in their mirrors all week will no doubt have tanked to get away somewhere early in the last hour.

AUDI of Matt Close sounded destingtive and has a lot of good numbers... untested but he will be praying for rain.

All the Evo/STi open class boys were in tears as the no chicane rule pushes them toward showroom. (not sure how giving the supercars a gift will be received) Maybe those who only look at outright results and cant afford a supercar...

The 1.8 k straight that i part of the original Riana stage will be interestiing... just hope all those who were chicane challenged dont get too excited.

Quinny was smooth thru the complex, Jones by comparison was sawing at the wheel and peddling... GTRS still sound good.

Race doesnt start till after lunch tomorrow, and my tip is by the time they get to Ulverstone on day 4 the cream will start to rise.

12:05pm - Lots of news coming in now folks. The wet weather is taking its toll.

On TS1, car 825, 2002 Porsche 911 of Marcus Randolph and Keith Richmond had an off 0.81km into the stage. All okay.

TS3 news, car 905, the Showroom entry of Bruce and Lyn Garvie from Queensland, in a 2009 Evo X, had an off 3.9km into the stage. All okay.

The drama continues to unfold on the early stages, with car 615, the Classic 1979 Porsche 911 of Rod McCray and Greg McWhinney, going off the road. All okay.

Everyone can text their good wishes and encouragement to 0416 905 145 and it will be uploaded for everyone to view. PLEASE INCLUDE NAME AND LOCATION :happy:

Don't send "I've been a naughty boy and deserve a spanking" though, it won't be uploaded. I tried.

Walked in tonight to "I should have been out with you - spent all day on the Targa site... didnt get a lot done"

"Well your fired was my reply"

"Suck your own **** then!!! Geez that Ben bloke is funny. He has been on the live site too instead of working and telling every one to steady"

Two things wooo. That is fine coming from you Mr 110%. And 2nd - Stop making Targa savvy people like my missus laugh... She should be working.

Saw TS pole dancing today... lots of fireworks. TS 1 Pole 0

The mower mechanic had a failure, so lots of long faces... and my top three is down to two. SG was on it though... can I draft him into my 3?

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
