Team Raceworx Race Debut: State Champs Wakefield Park 13-14 March


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Here's your opportunity to witness the race debut of Team Raceworx, the GTR is finally going to be run in anger.

Its a 2 day meeting at Wakefield with all the usual suspects:

Combined Touring

Improved Production

Sports Sedans

HQs

Formula Ford

Formula V

AF2/Clubmans

As usual Saturday witll be qualifying and 1 race, sunday 2 races.

I'll post the schedule once I know it.

While you'll never get another chance to come to the debut meeting (:D ) the next one is at EC on 1-2 May, same date as the AGM, maybe everyone should drop by afterwards :)

Anyone else coming along?

Sadly no coverage of the state champs on TV, although there will be a special section in Motorsport news after each round.

The team's also entering Targa Tas (1 car) and NSW Dutton (2 cars) this year, there will be coverage of both, we'll keep you all posted :D

  • 2 weeks later...

well, the weekend......finished better than it started.

A little impatience at the start meant that Mark had a drive throught penalty on the first lap (ahh, so you have to wait until the light goes out!), and of course when doing the drive through he sped....meaning he copped a second drive through. Despite the fact teh GTR can nevah be beaten he came in last :)

Second race, started from 17th made a good start and was running 10th when they came to turn 8. A slightly overambitious move from a bommodore saw mark smacked off the track on a small cross country excursion! He recovered, rejoined and worked his way beack to 10th when an intercooler hose blew off...leading to retirement from the race. DNF

Third race, started from 17th (again), and proceeded to zoom through the field eventually running 4th on the 7th lap when the race was red flagged.

And, I can't wait to get my car out there :)

hi Duncan,

Good stuff with getting the GTR trackside. Just one thing, are you aware there is already a "team raceworx"? Simon Evans races for them (rally team). I was just looking for some info on your cars and typed "raceworx" into the search engine and got heaps of their stuff.

Hope it's not a problem mate.

Just thought I should let you know...

Richard

raceworx (no dramas with the rally team)

just wait till the silvia gets out there and shows these gtrs how its done

pete

phew! Cool, I'm yet to see a silvia race in Sydney (well on a circuit anyway).

Richard

lol, you've got the crazy bit right.

Thanks for mentioning the rally team Richard, but they forgot one small issue, registering the name :( We own it but have decided not to sue at this stage

our website is at www.teamraceworx.com, but its still an early draft

Also forgot to mention, keeping things rolling, Raceworx next meet is the HPI Drift Nationals at Calder Park next weekend.

A certain lunatic in a slivia is going down to show them how to do it :D

Next round at EC 1-2 May? Doesn't that clash with Fatz's Drift Day?

Do you guys have a timetable of events on both days? Just wondering which would be more interesting to goto...

nah the drift day clashes with the race round :P

Actually, Raceworx is going to be *very* spread out that weekend, coz our third car will be down competing at Targa Tas :D

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
