Well the roughie that just may get up this year is.....djr. They have signed some more good sponsors (some razor blade mob & 3 mobile), got a couple of 888 chassis on order, some rough head called Courtney to drive for them so they should be set for a good year.

As a side interest it will be interesting to see how the two Davo's go. One up against the yocal hero Tander at HRT & the other against Jason Bright.

Of the Holden teams, maybe HRT will return to form but in all honesty it is hard to see any others making an big impact. The Kelly outfit will be too new

Sprint Gas will doubtless blow hot & cold again

The Jones brothers may step up with Richards on board (Providing they can find the wherewithall to spend the dollars necessary to run Walkinshaws wagons)

Maybe Ingalls Indian summer will continue.

Of the Ford teams, well FPVs form is harder to pick than a broken nose.

888 will doubtless be strong.

DJR are on the up.

Stone brothers may well improve with Bright there to help set the things up.

Be interesting to see how Paul Cruickshanks team get on also.

The serious money is on Tony Cohrant continuing to carry on as his name suggests.

Go Rick Kelly; is the new Kelly team confirmed; one of the articles at www.v8supercars.com.au about the new 'fast' tyres said that HSVDT's driver Rick Kelly had tested the tyres; maybe that was last year..?

Brighty is getting desperate.

FPR are a force,,,but they just keep loosing the plot.

Frosty can win,,,but he and the team keep dropping the ball at the wrong end of the year.

Mark needs to have a really good long talk to his old man sooner than later.

Neil.

They have closed.

I did notice that you can buy both of there cars with engines as last raced for 300k, or you can buy 2 ford rally cars for 300k, GB anyone :D

R32 GT-R still has outright race time record for Bathurst

that is all...

the way saftycars are used it will never be beaten. ever since the inroduction of the saftycar, the outright race time means nothing.

Qualifying has just started, you can watch it free on the v8supercar website

Natsoft shows Whincup in P1 after Friday practice.

Other noteable performances are:

Jason Richards in the BOC Commodore in P3 & both djr cars in the top ten.

Rick Kelly will doubtless be blubbing somewhere.

Oh & thank fk the alcopops senate amendments got chucked out. Otherwise no more Jim Beam sponsorship for djr & no Jack daniels for the Kelly clan. Not to mention the XXXX girlies.

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
