I know I would rather be driving a car that was quick over one lap and then preserve my tyres by driving sensibly than having a slow car and trying to wring the neck of it to keep up.

RBR and Ferrari in a very good position for the race.

Still though, there is only so much that driving technique and throttle-brake control can affect tyre wear... Ultimately, if it ends up being a scorcher tomorrow, they could tickle those slicks and still have them grain and wear badly.. Were as the hard will be more durable..

we'll see... personally, I'd rather have the better handling car for the majority of the race than just be able to do 1 fast lap on empty tanks. 150kg of fuel has to alter the car's behaviour.

Alonso in the fezza is pretty exciting. The team mate battles in Ferrari, McLaren & RBR are going to be interesting. And see how the self-confessed rusty old man goes. Qualifying 7th and only a couple of tenths off the young gun teammate is not bad for his first competitive drive in 3 years if you ask me.

I can't wait for the race!

I agree but I'm not sure those two things are necessarily mutually exclusive. We don't know which cars are easy on tyres yet but it won't be long till we find out.

It still reckon it easier to make a fast car go slow than try to make a slow car go fast.

not the hand-me-down win he was looking for, but alonso looked wrapped to be back

showing the schmucks how its done, im glad he a contender again. would have been sad to see the best guy on the grid running around in 12th for another year

EDIT:

lol

old dead eye doenst look too happy with 2nd

... get used to it buddy

    • Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo
    • Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!
    • Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.
    • @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au
