Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[NZM.031]

I cant believe it's actually over......

i know... i have been building up for this event since the end of last years superlap... now i feel empty inside... except for the rumble to get my hurry on and get my 32 ready for next year.

I think the commentator did ok. It's pretty hard doing it solo and trying to think of stuff to say all the time. I'm sure alot of us on here could not do a better job.

That said, I was only there on the Saturday and I can see how listening to 2 days of the one voice and get a bit tiresome.

Also, the times he called out I thought was good. Everytime a car went over the line he would call out the driver name and lap time.

It was easy to know who was doing what, and how far off their PB and all.

Hopefully the commentator will have the help of Mozza Morrisby next year...... I spoke to Ian and he totally agreed that Mozz would be a great addition

[N1GTR]

Ben maybe it's worth sending the car overseas for aero work?

Always enjoy this vid;

Was also loving the ferocity of the Pulse racing Evo coming out of the final turn, it was on the gas so much earlier than the other cars. Thing has some serious punch!

Yeah, how committed did Glenney wana be both the Pulse Evo and STi on Turn 12!!... awesome stuff!

[Marlin]

Willfred wouldn't stop raving about the Pulse Evo..... said it was how every car should be.

I want a turn!

[phunky_monkey]

His car looked the fastest by a distance in turn 12, we were all amazed. Nice rims too!

[Marlin]

That late RX7 that Glenney was driving rocked my world too. 1:40's it was doing. I don't think he could use full throttle either as it was breaking down? So I want that RX7 too. Please.

Sir.

Well fact is Cyber made 475 awhp on Friday night at 1.2 bar. They ran it at 1.6 on Saturday to set that time. So 600 would be closer?

Interestingly we compared a bit of data with some other teams and one fun fact was Berry's car was 20klm/h up on Sierra car at the end of the straight. Shows how

much downforce/drag that SS car has!

Cyber car weighs 1125, and creates 1250lg of dowforce. Yes, you read that right. They said under that car is really something special!

:-))

what's 1250lg of downforces?

[NZM.031]

lg = lifes good.. 1250 lifes goods.

[Equinox]

It's Japanese for 'kilo-gram.' It got lost in translation.

Impressive commitment. I had my doubts but Russ made it happen and pulled it off. Minor miracle.

Roy yes a relaxing weekend for the Slot Car. Still waiting for custom dry sump pump. We will be in the mix next year.

The weather held off nicely and a massive weekend.

That VQ sits in there nicely!

Tried to find you to say Gday but didnt see you

My buddy Elvin got that gig. Bloody legend. Big dogleg drive out to Marks late thursday night, somehow wrangled the short engine into his wagon (he's 50kg wringing wet and no engine crane), drove through the night to get the short to us by 10am. Farkin LEGEND!

that is an effort! I struggle with RB cranks and im 80kg lol

[Marlin]

what's 1250lg of downforces?

***awaits Harry to make a spelling mistake***

I meant kg of downforce you flogger. The L is beside the K.

Hey Ben, did the Tilton Evo end up making it to the track?

I heard some rumours of a ridiculous power to weight ratio of that thing!

[hrd-hr30]

hehe

my real question is does that mean 1250 kg total on the scales while in a windtunnel? So 1250-1125=125kg of actual downforce?

[badhairdave]

gimme 5 bags of cement, a few pies and a f**k load of coke and hookers. You can keep your fancy aero

They were both there!! Garth did a 1:37:05.... The new on isnt finished yet but they are going to town on it now

[Marlin]

Harry, yes. From our conversation with Tarzan, he said the car can drive upside down, F1 style. Upside farking down!

And yes, the Tilton car was there, but hobbled by massive understeer from what I saw.

I wouldn't want to be a front tyre on that car. A shame as I too had heard some awesome numbers.

The 2nd car was on display, and looks to be much more serious

A shame too that the ex Supercars didn't make a better show of it. Looks like 38/39 is about the limit for a Supercar chassis on R comps. I had high hopes that they've give a bit of a hurry up to the front runners!

Jess, I heard something about 1100HP and 1125kg is this true? If so I want a go
