Just wondering who from here will be out watching this weekend ??

Not going to get chance to watch much as im pit crewing for a mate in his R35, but been told will be some awesome vantage points to watch some action.

I went out to Forrest Chase this morning and had a closeup look of the Evo X, The R34 GTR, the R35 GTR, the Lambo and the rest were practically WRX's and Evos.
Might head up to Muchea tomoz ...

Woot! Go Alister McRae !!

If anyone looks closely on this guys website, they just might find something of mine

 

[Guest]

Well we are goiung alright so far, but the GTR is having a few issues which should hopefully be sorted tonite, had 2 roll overs on the zig zag though , 2 ppl were taken to hospital

 

[Guest]

Yeah the zig zag is an awesome test ... Tight tight corners

 

[Guest]

Got car sorted, so heres hoping tommoz Steve can get into top spot, currently 2nd place, not bad for his 3 year doing it

 

[Guest]

Well we are in pole position now, so one day left heres hoping.

Here's a vid of Kevin Weeks' Lambo Gallardo Superleggra, best sounding car ive EVER heard, and its shooting HUGE flames

[Guest]

I'll be out and about today. Hopefully catch the Muchea and Bindoon stages if I don't get lost.

Will try and find the R35 in the Service Area (doubt it will be hard to miss)

 

[Guest]

i was running 3 chicanes over the weekend, the GTR was dead quiet, but farking moved, and won!

highlight of the weekend was the lamborghini superleggera that was shooting ~1 metre fireballs on deceleration that was about 10metres away from me...
the noise it made as it came out of the chicane at full throttle was enough to make me run behind the big water tank for some 'alone time' though....

 

[Guest]

Wat a fuking weekend, apart from the odd problems with the Datsun, sorry GTR it was sensational. Awesome work by Steve and Rauri.

Andf big ups to Weeks' for doing a BURNOUT for us in the lambo after the final stage.

Cheers to anyone that came out over ther weekend for your support

 

[Guest]

Some pics one of our mates took at a stage

 

[Guest]

I caught friday and saturdays action and that GTR is a monster!! BURNOUT!

Ill post some photos this evening after some chopping

 

[Guest]

We have also just been informed that Steve is the first person in the world to win an event in a production version of the 35 GTR

 

[Guest]

mate of mine took this from our chicane.

 

[Guest]

That Lambo sounds so good, when I was taking photos a guy next to me compared the sound to a low flying jet

Unfortunately I only got to go to Day 3, still happy I made it this year though, was good fun.

SS22 - Muchea 3





From here I decided to skip the next few stages and head straight to the Bindoon Service Park.





From there I went just around the corner to the next stage which unfortunately was cut short due to a pretty bad rollover, so I didn't get to catch the Lamborghini or GTR pass through.

SS25 - Bindoon Country 3







And that's it unfortunately, I wish I went on.

Click on the pics for larger res, or go straight HERE for the full set.

 

[Guest]

Yeh the Pollards were the ones in that bad crash, his daughter that was co-driving is still in hospital with a broken back, 1 cracked vertebrae. You were missing much with the GTR going past, sounds like my mums DYSON. Cheers for the pics will foward them onto Steve

 

[Guest]

Yeah the GTR barely made a noise, was flying past so effortlessly, quite .. well unexciting really Especially hearing the Lambo and GT3 RS before him.

 

[Guest]

That race prepped GTR is now for sale. Steve is asking $235k though im not sure why he would sell up
