Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[boxheadmr]

Not sure if natsoft will upload quick enough through out the day..But will talk to Timing about this

Pretty sure there will be updates on the Superlap website throughout the day...But if not will also chat to the guys about this..

This thread is moving too quickly now.

In relation to the updates, even if it is via email to a central list it would be great. Agree with the natsoft as think it will be too late.

I assume, perhaps wrongly that whilst there are no doubt going to be great drivers punting very fast cars, I assumed that the drivers would be a 1 second gap to a professional driver, so that is another reason why i think they will be a tad slower then the V8 Supercars. Will be great if i was wrong though!

Have you seen David Empringham's page for example at http://www.wynns.net/wpcd_empringham.aspx ? ...

Currently driving for: Sierra Sierra Enterprises

in Redline Time Attack series in the USA

BRIEF DRIVING HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS

2009: Buttonwillow Superlap / Time Attack - 1st Place Overall

2007: Grand Am - Daytona Koni Challenge - 1st Place

2005: Grand Am Koni Champion

2003: Daytona 24 HR - DP - 1st Place and Pole Position

2002: Grand Am Cup Champion

1996: Firestone Indy Lights Champion

1994: Toyota Atlantic Champion

1993: Toyota Atlantic Champion

Now put a driver with experience like that into a car like this ...

... then add to that the cars from Japan and their drivers, and the Australian cars and drivers, and the other US cars and US drivers, and you can get an indication of how fast this event is going to be and what a challenge it is going to be.

There are going to be a lot of very fast drivers in very fast cars.

Sure he may have been quick in a single seater. He sat in the middle of the car so there was no way of getting confused. But he is sitting on the wrong side of the Lancer for starters

no matter how good the o/s drivers are, a day or 2 practice at EC will be a second, and 5-10 years practice at EC is another second. As I said earlier I am really surprised they are not out practicing all the time given the amount of money invested in the cars and getting them here.

the interesting thing about this year is we know or can make good educated guessesabout how quick the local cars will go because they have lots of recorded lap times to check.....

yeah it looks great mate. I hope it's going really well. unfortunately they will definitely think we are hill billys anyway, I mean compare eastern creek to fuji speedway.... our tracks look like they were built on farm land next to garbage tips... wait a minute, they were..... still they won't be laughing too much as you round them up under brakes at turn 2....
