Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[No Crust Racing]

Define "demonstration".

Tarmac cars cutting laps at full noise?

[Snowman]

Yep - Tarmac cars cutting laps at full noise.

[No Crust Racing]

Sounds cool, but to what end really?

The appeal of Tarmac rally is the fact that it's not on a circuit with safe run off and barriers and ready access to fire marshals.

Good thing anyway, but I'm not sure fans will really appreciate what they are seeing. Surely some will, but yeah got my old man pants on today. Get off my lawn.

EDIT: Just thinking, I'm hoping you guys are going to have some sort of staging area or something to field questions and talk Tarmac Rally/Show off the cars etc, that would be sweet.

Who's bringing what car? I assume YT will be there in the Lambo

[Snowman]

I care not for fans. I'm doing it so I can cut laps at full noise on the GP circuit!

When else will we get this chance!?

[No Crust Racing]

HAHA Awesome dude.

Stupidly, I hadn't even thought about that, my mind is now blown.

[JZP]

Jealous!!

[Marlin]

ABSOLUTELY PUMPED for it!!!!!!

I am here fist pumping like a champ typing one handed!

I'm not pleased about not saucing it up Friday though!

Dan, it's more about an opportunity to thank some sponsors and let them "experience" the car. Given tarmac rally cars are approved for passengers we can go full tilt. No, it's not a rally stage. No, it's not even timed. But, we get to drive the full F1 course as fast as we want, and show passengers (whether that be sponsor/spouse/mate/whatever) what the cars can do. Add to that the cars being displayed all weekend, AND a 4 day pass to the Brabham corporate stand, I reckon it's well wicked!

[No Crust Racing]

I've already retracted my statement Benny, now you're just trying to make me eat my hat.

Jealous times eleventy.

[Marlin]

I must get around to loading PS3 F1 2010 to refresh my memory of the track!

[Snowman]

My F1 game tells me that the braking mark into Turn 1 is about the 100m mark. Just use that as a guide Benny

[sav man]

You taking the new Navara wooser?

[Snowman]

He's taking a scooter ute.

[Marlin]

I'll be messing with the F1 game's settings in hope of replicating the Ute's behaviour.

100 metre mark you say... PFFFFT, look out champ, coz at that rate I'll be diving up the inside. Keep an eye out for me!

[bri73y]

Been there, done that....

Weather was typical Melbourne!!! No fun for the passengers that was for sure...

[Marlin]

Is there even a helmet on in those pics JB?

When was this, and how did you manage that mate? Grand Prix Rally I assume?

[bri73y]

Helmet ? What are they...

Given the conditions we weren't allowed a full tilt, was behind a pace car! Bugger!!

Could only imagine what it would be like at full tilt though. Great surface, super wide in most places, just going to be insane for you guys.

Weather permitting ofcourse!

Grand Prix Rally - Correctamundo Woo. Back in 2005, ages ago now.

Hope you've been well...

Wanted to do it after I found out its not just a single session on one of the days, and includes sinking piss & food in a Brabham corner corporate box! Alas I have a close mates bucks on the Saturday - thought of doing Thurs and Friday only entered my mind but can't justify the kesh at the moment.

What is the deal with taking footage - has Bernie issued you guys a statement saying you can't take / use footage / he owns it or the like?

[essay]

Will be there

Can completely understand not being able to go hard in those conditions.... looks appalling!

Hope you're well too John.
