Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[Huy]

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.....

We got one of those tracks in Perth. Think it's called Barbagallo!

[Duncan]

Is it the same car? The colour makes me want to ask if it is in any part Geoff Fears old GTR (What happened to that anyway?)

Ferds owns that car now, and AFAIK the IPRA car is still for sale.

Dave the car looks great and I suspect more has been developed there than just a paint job. You guys have been leaders in racing skylines in Australia for years including state and national titles where everyone said it could not be done.....I'd love to see you make a big impact on this event too.

All the best, my $2 are on you guys

[Roy]

I can see a good reason to think any number of the local cars will be quick. Dont know anything really about the OS cars to have a feel. They all look the part and no doubt if they are making the effort to cross the drink you would think that their preparation to the event is very thorough.

What sort of track temps to the guys as Tsukuba usually see. I know its cold late in the year, but is it cold all year round? Curious to see how their cars go if its a hot day with regards to how they work their tyres over a longer lap with longer radius corners. I suppose the single lap format may mean that higher temps will not really play havoc like if you went to Japan and simply could not get tyre temp in the 5 deg C?!?!?!?!?!!?

It will be an interesting event... I just hope that Russ in his RB20 powered sled can get the lil 32 into the 1:48s

You've just set me a goal

CLUB 44's I have already done 44's in a CLUB GTR, and I think it would be fast enough to win.

I know a club car that has done 39's on R's. Stepping back to roadies shouldn't knock off more than 2-3 seconds.

i'm not sure if the splitter is big enough

[LSX-438]

Can someone tell me what the format of the event is, do we merely have to lay a time down at any designated session over the two days? i've asked a few people / competitors but nobody seems to know. thx

[giant]

yes mate, any recorded time over your sessions can win it,

i am not sure whether they are having a shoot out at the end but that didnt count for final results last time.

[t01-100]

being ready at the right time to take full advantage of weather is a super important part of strategy then... this will be exciting to see unfold!

Tomei/Cusco WRX is super low and like nothing I have seen before. Fascinating to see how the other worlds set up there cars!

the japs..... they know!!

super low is super good... anything more than 2" off the ground is just plain unacceptable.

not sure how it will handle the goat track though.. but hey... in 3 days... we shall find out.

wooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know how many tickets have been sold???

also... is there anything i should make sure i have recieved at the gate as a spectator??? last year the mrs and i got whisked away because we didnt recieve wrist bands when we entered... thanks to the SAU gate officials 2009.

[nismoman]

Has anybody else noticed that the USA have only 1 car entered now?

What happened to the Scion, NSX and others? No show?

Provided the roll center has been fixed.

[Roy]

Apparantly someone used bad language at a petrol station and its been noted as a possible terrorist attack and travel advices now say to restrict all non essential travel to Australia So the Yanks are staying home

so fix the roll center...

looking at the pics of the tomei wrx front and rear suspension, and watching the clips of it around the track... id say they have the roll centre sorted...
