Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[LotusGTR]

Anyone going to the Mt Baw Baw sprint? I've entered in the touring section. Be a good intro for me as I've no experience with this scene. Be good to meet anyone on here if you're going too.

Cheers

Locked in for TT this year, should be good!

Still getting used to the idea of wearing a beret and eating baguette's though

[Marlin]

Should be a good thing though Timmy. A 2WD Showroom contender for sure.

[sav man]

should be good to see brendo with some compition

[PHaT MR30]

Looks like Brendo's been promoted to RX8? and Simon Evan is in showroom! Either way majorly tough competition!

Just looking forward to putting last year behind me and getting back in the silly seat! Might even go do that Cradle Coast rally for a bit of fun.

[sav man]

I thought he was only promoted while Glenney's licence was being held hostage

[Marlin]

Yeah I heard Brendo's in the Ssssscrotor, I'm watching with interest to see how the lad goes.

Anyone know what the weather is gonna do the Wrest Point?

Got any hot predictions? There's a few new cars debuting I think? I'm keen to see how Edie goes in the Emo in EM, he's got Wilfred sitting beside him.

And Nick, I'm not going mate, but SURELY someone from here is?! What's Snowballs doing, is he scared of that R35 or something?

[sav man]

he convert his emo to a 7?

[marinetowing]

Tony Warren, Matt Rickards 1/2 for Em is my prediction.

Top 5 will be hard to call though, Ayers, O'keefe, Hendy will all no doubt give it a good shake. The bloke in the porka from High country is running I hear, think he might find it a bit tougher on our goat tracks compared to the Victorian roads.

[Marlin]

He has Benny. Why aren't you running FFS, it's just down the road!

And Strong-man, who's the dude in the Porsche you're referring to? And who wants to go halves in a 996 Turbo to smack 'em all senseless? Timmy?

The snoozer that took out Em mate, although I heard that car requires quite a bit of love to make it eligible this time round.

What compound? I have driven a car with what I was told were PFC01s and I loved them. Really, really nice. I grabbed some PFC06 which are meant to be the Endurance spec PFC01 with a little less bite but far kinder on rotors and I simply found them WAAAAY too bitey and was forever locking brakes Was a tad gutted

Looks like i have the 01 "Race Compound" which i take it are the PFC01s (SKU 7793.01.18.44). Sounds like they should do the job then! Have only done roughly 100kms on them so far with no track time, they do feel rather powerful from cold though..

Warren is entered in Modern according to the TWP site.

Benny: Not running cause the engine is stripped and getting machined atm, $$$$$$$$$$$$, and the roads don't interest me. Dad is running his slobaru though

High country front runners don't often translate into front runners in Tassie (unless they have had previos experience)

What about yourself Scotty? Is the car comign together? Hope you got the rim setup to work. You should be there or thereabouts... But I dont want to encourage you. Just stay away from the trees mate and keep the new improved TME nice and shiny. I find a pic of the aftermath of a crash stashed somewhere handly is a nice way to settle the red mist should it decend.

Best of luck to all those having a crack. Seems like another life when I was actually lingin up for these events.

Don't take any notice of the website, my car is being prepped at his workshop and I can assure you the 9 won't be making another appearance with him behind the wheel.

Think we are on a winner thanks Blaise, bit of fine tuning happening at the moment mate and by all reports it looks like it will be successful. Just got to put a new clutch in next week and a quick test at the track, then we should be good to go.

Have a bit more power and hopefully a bit more grip than last time, if we can run similar times to last event I will be stoked....although the off is still fresh in my mind (and wallet) so I will be keeping the limits in check!

[sav man]

If warren is in em. It will be him then daylight to ayres

[marinetowing]

My money is on 2 white RS Evo 7's being 1/2.

Reliability is the only thing that has kept Matt off the podium, quite sure that won't be an issue for him this event.

What does the THC winner need to change on his car?

[PHaT MR30]

I thought he was only promoted while Glenney's licence was being held hostage

Whats the story there?

Who is this Turnbull snoozer and how can you have a gap of 3:00 at the front of EM against regular competitors in hitlers 'peoples car'?

[paulR32gtr]

He was definitely moving. Had 10 seconds on all of us on our second crack at Skyline.
