Considering i was a 'free agent' this year seemed to work longer and harder than last year!

Long day yesterday arrived at the track at 8am our final GT race finished at 7.15 and didn't leave the track closer to 10 due to a banged up Merc

Car didn't make it out on track but the 2nd one got a podium for the weekend.

The mosler I was 'working' with kept it on the track and after we discussed some changes on friday night the car picked up 5secs a lap to be competitive today

was great to see the crowds all comment on how interesting the GT races were this year.

and if anyone wants to buy me a AMG SLS i won't say no :worship:

And here come the shameless promo girl pics :D ..... not nearly as many there this year as previous years :( .... but not too bad all the same.

Most of them were behind the pits I found over the last 2 days, ran into a couple in there that i knew ( the joys of throwing after parties :nyaanyaa: )

but over all I thought they were down, and unlike you i don't go out of my way to find them lol

GT had some today for the podium presentation in the paddocks

*EDIT* there are a few more back there behind the drivers

Those AMG cars sounded awesome, but someone has to tell me what the hell was in that Ferrari that lead most the race on Sunday! Thing flew down to that Senna Chicane like an F1 car! The GT40 thought it could fly....backwards into the barrier.

Least the young lad is being taught at a young age :P

Yep the SLS is very Awesome..... not that i'm biased.

The answer to the 458 is Alan Simonsen... if you own a Ferrari and want it to win you give him a call.

Car is same spec and similar speeds to the Merc, but it gets around with a lot more drama and noise, where as the Merc doing similar lap times are some what more relaxed / lethargic sounding so its quite deceptive.

I'm still blown away at the crowds reaction to the GT races this year, its all been so positive its amazing to hear / see.

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
