Insomnia roused us at an early hour to do a handful of practice laps here, and what a fun little circuit this is! It's like a 1/2 scale version of Spa Francorchamps with less elevation. Couple of tricky apexes, but not very demanding otherwise.

Hoping to redeem our poor showing in this series to date with a good finish here..

Just a friendly reminder that times for Rd 13 at Phillip Is. are due Friday night. I have got times from c8nay,Tannat, Steven & Peter Vuko so far. If any extensions are needed please ask.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I won't be doing this round because I'm rubbish at this type of track in these cars.

It's been an interesting series anyway Peter :up: even if I haven't been successful at all in it. I may be back for a whole series if you run it again.

hey-i've got a chance at a podium finish!
:up:

[real_illusions]

hold on tannat..i've submitted my times.. ;)

but then again, knowing my luck, you've probably beaten me ;)

[dcr22B]

I'll be doing my race tonight so will submit my times first thing in the morning (teatime Australian time)!

[dcr22B]

Well, I've done my final race of the season.

Incidents: Reasonably uneventful race. Passed James Courtney with a fairly aggressive move into Turn 4 (unlike that wee sod Rick Kelly, my move was deemed fair) and pulled away from there. Pitted on lap 10 and rejoined in 4th. Tootled along nicely waiting for the 3 drivers in front to stop.I went on to win the race by a handsome margin (no giveaways about any of my times yet) from Jason Richards, Russell Ingall and James Courtney. Looking forward to returning in 2007!

Eight drivers turned up for the last Rd of the V8's for the season at Phillip Is. It marked the debut for Lugnut in the series & he performed very well. Here is how Qualifying panned out:

Qualifying:
1.P.Vuko 1m.10.01
2.S.Vuko 1m.10.35
3.BobZee 1m.10.71
4.Lugnut 1m.10.77
5.real_ill 1m.12.18
6.dcr22B 1m.12.50
7.c8nay 1m.13.44
8.tannat 1m.14,17

The top 4 very close & splitting the field into two groups. The 20 lap race proved to be a very close affair with less than a second separating 1st & 2nd. Results up in 5 minutes.

[Peter Vuko]

Two great battles developed in this race - for 1st place between the Vuko boys, BobZee & newcomer Lugnut, & the battle for 5th between dcr22B & real_illusions. This is how they crossed the line for the last time this series:

Phillip Is. 20 Lapper:
1.P.Vuko 24m.27s 1m.10.68 192pts
2.BobZee 24m.28s 1m.10.94 186pts
3.Lugnut 24m.35s 1m.11.66 180pts
4.S,Vuko 24m.40s 1m.11.21 174pts
5.dcr22B 24m.55s 1m.12.10 168pts
6.real_ill 24m.57s 1m.12.67 162pts
7.tannat 25m.17s 1m.13.22 156pts
8.c8nay 25m.41s 1m.13.58 144pts

In the end it was only .70s separating the Holden & the Ford after 20 gruelling laps - you don't get much closer than that! Vuko Snr once again a little faster. BobZee has really proved himself as a top class driver this series. A great debut by Lugnut - he is one to watch! Tannat has improved with each drive. dcr22B & real have shown they can mix it with the best of them. c8nay will have learnt a lot from this series - he did not miss an event - well done. I will put up a new thread with a detailed FINAL STANDINGS later today.

would love it if one of you faster guys would do some laps using an auto gearbox...

not alot to this circuit-just 3 braking points, mostly flat out everywhere. under default conditions i had hoped to be a bit closer to the front.

even if my lines were squeaky clean a 1:12 is probably the best i could hope for..
