The White team began the final day in first place and held on to win six minutes clear of Greg Garwood and John Allen in a turbo Porsche 911.

Jim Richards and Barry Oliver in a Porsche GT3 CS were another 13 minutes further back in third place, well ahead of the rest of the field who were more than nine hours behind the winners.

that's six seconds ahead of 2nd place, 39 seconds ahead of Richards, and 9 minutes back to the rest of the field. Nine hours! NFI!

great to see the Whites finally get the win, but local knowledge is a big factor there.

Well according to this site, Richards came first???:

slicks on the front for the last day

ice and snow on the road

buggered clutch 2 nd day

replaced over night

yeah the conditions up at Arrowsmith were amazing!

I'm surprised you got through a set of fronts tho, were'nt you running the dunlops? or not in the hard compound?

And I bet the clutch was fun, did you find a local hoist to help out? working in the silverdome was a PITA

At Burnie they were onthe front we swaped them to the back to avoid the canvas

on the last day

We missed doing Arrowsmith fast as we stopped at Rooklyn big crash about 5 klms in to the stage

The service crew we shared with Coads and three others had truck with a ramp that you could work under

started at 10.30 finished about 3.00 had an old clutch, down past the rivets,that we threw in It lasted O K

Tyres! Had a gamble on yokohama AO48s M compound Too many dry day

lost the gamble

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
