Heard a report that the front of the gt car was on fire in pit lane. havent been able to find out what happened though

[Martin HKS]

Apparently had some oil on the manifold and caught fire. Problem is officials sprayed foam all over it to put out which is a pain cause that stuff is messy. I don't have any more details yet why oil was there or what happened. They are trying to clean it off for the next session so nothing major.

Congrats to Mark and Mercury for the sub 1.35 time. Anything quicker is a bonus.

Cheers

UPDATE - GT Auto R35 wasn't an oil fire. It was the Fuel Pressure Gauge failed and leaked fuel on the manifold which caught on fire. GT Auto are working hard to clean all the foam up and it will be back out tomorrow as there is no other damage.

Mark / Mercury R35 apparently has had a gearbox problem and loaded on a trailer already. Maybe someone can let us know if they are taking it to a workshop somewhere for repair?

Yes, apparently they are attempting repair tonight.

[sheepus]

i see no claws, it begins again tomorrow when both cars belt around the track again, dont forget neither car has had substantual testing so issues are bound to arise with both cars, They have both done very well to make it to Eastern Creek and post fast times. Bring on tomorrow

Also R35's are 1st and 2nd in the clubsprint class ( standardish car on street tyres), ahead of a group of seasoned Evo drivers.

Marek pulled out a 1:42 in the afternoon to grab 1st place.

lol... standardish ??

[LSX-438]

lol... standardish ??

Mareks car is not far off standard. Mid-pipe, E85 Willall tune (injectors and fuel pump) and some uprated shocks/springs. That's about it. It would be difficult to find many other cars with LESS mods in the class, put it that way.

Anyway this thread is about Marks car, it was great to see it running around out there yesterday and today, well done guys, absolutely fantasic.

was very good to see it in the flesh! no offence intended. but do they make 19's or 20's with rubber available? just looks like the wheels need to be bigger for the bodywork..

No 19 or 20" semis that will do those times, no.
