Rd5 Wakefield Park

[MB.Motorsport]

It was only the other day when i saw a friend a uni who is a part of Skylines Australia who claimed to see my car in the background of a photo on this site, so we checked it out. Sure enough it was my car. I was interested to read Duncan’s comments on Round five at Wakefield, suggesting we play to much GT4, :lol: (perhaps ur talking about Croft). Thats not very nice. Duncan did drive well and congrats on the 2nd place, but one would hope that his turbo charged 4WD drive skyline would bet our commodores of the line and to the finish line. If not there would be explaining to do. The Skylines that dominate our class are in a league of their own, to use an analogy its like racing a poodle vs. a greyhound, even though this is the first time Duncan finished in front of us .

No hard feelings Duncan, look forward to Eastern Creek.

Hey Michael, well done, you had a good weekend out too.

I reckon you are being too modest about the saloon cars tho, they have no trouble knocking off the v8 commodores so you must be doing something right....especially around wakefield where its nice and tight....I suspect you might run a few hundred kilos less than these bloody overweight GTRs.

Still, I love how the GTR ran, especially considering that it was its second run, I was over the moon. Not so happy about the blown motor in race 3, but thats racing, right?

As for GT4, lets face it, close racing is the best fun you can have, I just could have done without the panel damage, I thought I was back racing daewoos again. I spoke to 2 of the 3 drivers that I came together and all is fine. The 3rd driver really didn't show any courtesy to his fellow drivers but I guess every grid has their share of poeple like that, don't they?

Good luck for EC, I won't be back in time for that Do you reckon you will knock Phil off the top of the points table?

I think one of the main reasons we knock of the V8s is because of technology.

Its a great class with some close racing, and your right there is always going to be some touching. What do skylines generally weigh; our cars are a minimum of 1356.

Eastern Creek should be an interesting round for us, the engine goes back into our car Saturday, we where down on power at Wakefield, she had just about had enough. But its now rebuilt because we know where going to need the speed down the long eastern creek straight. Its to bad you wont be ready in time.

I hope we catch phill in the points, thats not my only worry i have to finish in front of croft. That broken diff in the last race at WP really hurt our championship (not to mention the other diff and gearbox we smashed this year)

Anyway look forward to racing in the future

Well my whale weighs in at 1500, and our cage is pretty basic so presumably some cars might have another 50kg. And I'm no lightweight either lol

Luckily we can make some power to help make up the gap but its a bit like driving the QE2 sometimes. No wonder the brakes gave out on me the other day

Good luck at EC, I hope to be back for some of the other rounds like the day/night or the enduro

Hey Michael,

My car weighs in at 1620kg with me in it. ( but I'm a fat old man)

Good racing at E/C and I'm not sure , but I was told it came down to one point.

Dam I thought it was good!

Are you up for a play in the dark?

Cheers
