It wasn't queueing that cost 888 the win as the time is recovered when sitting behind the safety car, what lost 888 the win was the group of cars traveling behind 88 when Whincup had that battery issue, Tander was already past 88 and in the pits and 888 was stuck about 5 cars behind 88 across the top of the mountain at walking speeds...

It wasn't only the queing but also the loss of track position it cost them, working through traffic costs time. but yeah having JW hold everyone up over skyline didn't help.

To be honest I think the race controllers are bit over the top with the safety cars, it does take away from the race.

Is it just me or does Nick Percat have the makings of becoming Australia's answer to Sebastian Vettel?

He seems to be the complete knob. I was half expecting him to raise the finger when Tander crossed the line!

In saying all of that - fair drives from him and Thompson on the weekend. Two names we are sure to hear a fair bit of in the future I'm sure.

Yeah I agree, we where saying that a page or so back.

No doubt a decent steerer, but a complete twat

yeah. decent behind the wheel, just keep him away from cameras and a microphone.

He'll spend the next 40 years scrubbing wheels for DJR to pay for the car he wrote off......

nah, they'll buff that out. that car will be at the gold coast race for sure.

i was at work and tried to watch as much of it as i could. could someone fill me in with what nick percat was saying?

Also curious what Nick Percat said as my mate just had a family dinner with the guy

Also just got a text that apparently Mark Skaife were pretty pissed off at him

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
