From the Targa update feed, aren't these guys in the TOUR, not racing! :)

"From TS10, car 56, Sebastian Lip and Brett David in a 2009 Nissan GT-R 35, had an off 1.7km into the stage. They found the car behind a shed, with some fence damaged ……. Both crew members are okay. "

:(

Quinn cuurently in 3rd, with Jones in 5th.

Steve Glenney doing a great job in the RX8 in 2nd.

not sure exactly, someone stacked it, and I think Glenney in the RX8 stopped to check if everyone was okay and another car cleaned everything up but the possums =(

no the opposite unfortunately.

Ayresy in his immaculate 400R stopped to help and Wwilfred cleaned him up in the borrowed Rx-8.

Good to see all the R35s staying on the track including domonic from here. Hope I didn't just put the mocker on anyone.

My guys have had mixed luck, Kel is going great in the R32 (or ATTKD special if you prefer) in 9th in Early Modern. Mark is running a wide body gtst since he had to pull the front drive shaft after a diff blow up - nowhere on the board but still having fun.

Hi Dom, Tim here from the Porsche 944 (#736) we were usually in the que together at the start of stages.

I must say you always had a grin on your face so you must have been enjoying yourself! I always got a great chuckle out of the stickers on your rear bumper!!!

Hope to catch you at more events soon!

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
