Maserati Day At Sandown - Pics

[ferni]

1.15 and 1.14? were those on full slicks or semi slicks?

[Downforce]

The white 32 GTR driven by Sam (car 40, i think) was doing 1.15's

A Porsche broke into a high 1.14's.

WHAT????

God damn. Too many people going way too fast! One day soon there is going to be a BIG stack at one of these sprint days then we'll see a bunch of new reg's come in.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah that R32 GTR is an ANIMAL. Fully stripped and race prepped. One of the neatest engine bays I've ever seen! Top driver skills too.

15's at sandown is so quick i cant even comprehend how a "strret" car can get that time , i can manage a high 20(happy with that) at best and andrew/frank are flat/low 20's but 15's is miles away . These cars would have to make about 400 rwkw and wiegh in at around 1200kg?.

Andrew is right considering a roll cage isnt required at all for these timed sprints when one of these cars leaves the track ( lets hope it doesnt ) there isnt going to be much left of it.

The porche that did 1.14's as well?

[GTRgeoff]

Would have been nice to take a look and see some quick times. Gotta agree with snowie that a cage should be mandatory for those times.

I've actually just been over bugging Issy at Selectmaz to see if the Improved Production car is for sale but he is running it next year so I'll probably just build one. Much less maintenance for track and lower costs runing an RX7 now that they are getting less popular.

I'm tipping the Porsche pulling 1:14's would have been the black one.

Without seeing times, I was tipping that and the mad 32GTR to be fighting for fastest lap of the day.

Anyway, I'M IMPRESSED!

Speaking of stacks, I nearly saw the black Ferrari cause a 200+km/hr doozie on the main straight with (from memory) that black Porsche trying to pass - looked very close from the pits!

Jack: surprised I didn't see you too mate, you'd think we'd be able to spot each other over the crowd!

for whoever asked, here's some pics of the 550 from the SAU day a few weeks ago, plus a few more pics from sandown

[HIZOKU]

what times do the supercars do around there ???

[DavidM]

This 350z?

Yep that one. Were there any other 350Zs? Still, no info from anyone on the car and how it was doing?

If I remember correcly they are getting into 1:10s. And the Porsche Cup cars into 1:12s.

ps. I don't think I've seen anyone go quicker than 1:18s on a 'sprint day' ... and that car seriously flying considering it was 'only' on R-spec tyres.

[phunky_monkey]

the 350 didn't run as far as I'm aware

[DavidM]

Thanks ... I just realized it myself. Not listed in the results and also no numbersd on the car.

[INASNT]

Damn i drove past sandown twice on sunday and was gonna drop in both times but was 2 busy!!!

Nice looking cars there.

Can believe the white R32 has dropped 3 seconds from its last time at the wrx day.

Roy u gonna have to get that twin turbo lotus out there mate and show them how to do it

[pomejo]

I cant see the times up yet - to give you an idea,

The 550 was doing 1.23's.

The white 32 GTR driven by Sam (car 40, i think) was doing 1.15's

A Porsche broke into a high 1.14's.

Also great to meet Pome Jo - the SAU member in the Yellow EVO who was at the track yesterday.

I'm pretty sure he's now addicted and congrats on the lap times as well - 1.28 on your first outing. Awesome effort - sounds like we'll see you at Phillip Island next month.

Well AFAIK that GTR had a full rollcage, what about yours Andrew? Me think a new bunch of regs will be needed for cars like yours and Crazy Frank.

[aussie_tul]

great pics, dude

[Downforce]

It would be awesome if there was a national motorsport series in Australia similar to "Improved Production" but only for skylines... like a GT series. But I can't see that happening, soo many regulations, etc.
