For The Guys Wanting Entry Level Motorsport!

[S13Deviat]

Uber awesome way to entice people to give this entry level motorsport a go, then to shoot people down for querying regs......

I believe in corrective criticisim but that 'frustrated outburst' was just a little uncalled for. I know you mean well but not all will see your posts as positive. Remember Brad, not all 'entrants' are in luxurious position of having the funds/mechanical knowledge to run and build mulitple cars with a 'carefree attitude'. Believe me i wish i had your knowledge, but ke sera sera, if i have a incident, i purely have to hand the car and money over to someone to fix it.

I for one appreciate what your trying to say but dude, it's just not exactly the perfect persona to lay down to 'new comers'.

Anywho... i will be out there giving it a go, and i will certainly be concerned about my car, but that wont stop me having fun and giving it a go.

Guys..I am here to help so if there is anything you are unsure of just send me a pm or post in here! I dont mind any questions you have just ask me

It's takes a bit of time and money to get your car ready for the next step of "racing"!!!

For all of you that are thinking of giving this a go WELL DONE!

Once you have all the gear it's smoother sailing and jump in and race!

OMG like 5 days to go till MRA!!

Cant wait till I get my car will be out there with you guys instead of the tower!

[Risking]

So whos entered and racing??

Ive got a GTR thats actually got gears inside the gear box and providing it survives GP tomorrow will be racing

[Roy]

Just put it on pole and run away from the front, no chance of swapping pain then...easy

[Risking]

Thats my plan troy!

Going to use some softies to qualify on and then change over to the regular slicks for the racing.

Cant use the softs all the time as they tend to trash front diffs and only last 3 laps anyways. But they are good for a solid 1.5seconds per lap

[Sinful]

OMG!!! Nearly time to race!!!

Have a 110 entrants and looking to be an awesome mix up of cars!!!!

Bring on Sunday!!!!

[Risking]

look out sunday

Shake down today at GP then racing sunday.

most "entry level motorsport" guys don't want to race with heros who are "willing to bin it" in passing manouvers or who "will go under you into any turn" without regard for panel damage or its cost.

I'd be giving people like you a very wide berth, even in my shitbox S13. Not because I'm terribly precious about it, but to avoid uneccesary repair bills and effort. if there's light damage from both drivers arguing over a corner, fair enough. But a bloke who going to throw it down the inside in any turn "if you're in my way" should probably stick to the playstation.

At the end of the day Harry it's all just talk in here

When you hit the track the nerves set in and you start to concentrate..All the boys that race in MRA all think the same way as you posted above! Dont want uneccasary repairs bills but there is still some great battles for position..Its rare that rubbing happens..

Ill be there (spectating :[ ), Ill be sure to look you guys up

You better come up to the control box and say hello...Pretty sure I will be the only girl on Comms so cant miss me LOL!

What time are heading out there??

[zebra]

No idea what time Ill be there...prob 9-10am i guess

[Risking]

well after a day at oran park today In TRUE GTR fassion we have just finished pulling the cylinder head off.

It decided to overheat today and has warped the head accross number 3 and 4

Ill be down at the shop first thing, deck it and throw it all back together by lunch time.

The car managed to spit out a few 46.5's around south in the afternoon

[BOZ22N]

It came off at the fish hook on the 1st lap...nearly slid all the way to turn 1 lol

[jazzy_j]

It's just an old 4 cylinder turbo Volvo motor, 8 valve single OHC. But you should see the size of the hair dryer hanging off the side of the thing. I tell you what, it had us worried

Nicest guy driving it too. Came all the way up from Victoria. It was his first drive at Wakefield and only the cars second outing.

[evil_weevil]

fark he did well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant call him a typical volvo driver then hey!! haha

Now, theres the next round at OP GP within a month or two correct??

I SO have to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I managed a 1.27.8 in my 2nd session today at OP GP, no updated times though

Poor Ando had some issues well before he got to the track
