Well, qually went surprisingly well;  6 seconds off previous PB from the night before.

1st 2 laps of the race were ok-ish too.  Then on the 3rd tour, the catch-fence on the way down the hill did its job - too well.  By the time I was out,  minus 1 wheel.
I suppose that's what I get for trying to leave too much room on the inside for fellow team-mate Andreas;  who had previously left me lots of room on the inside of T1 the same lap. 

At least I got a number of laps in during practice.   It now seems a bit of a shame that we are not coming back here in any of the other series this season!

Cheers all,
Dave.

I was tempted to take the 3litre Brab for this race as it does seem to be the sweetest handling car, but old habits die hard and the Honda lured me away with promises of huge BHPs  Shocked

I found that the setup was not quite right in qually and the car had some nasty little wobbles at a few places around Bathurst. I tried a few things to improve matters and posted a lucky lap that just pinched pole  Grin

But I was very aware that Ronnie, Axel and Tristan + others were going to be on my tail from the start.!!!!

The first 2 laps were quite hairy on heavy fuel and cold tyres ( I had overfilled the Waza by about 7 galls I discovered at the end of the race  Undecided ) with Ronnie looking to poke his Brab down the inside at every opportunity. Axel and Tris were also in close attendance and ready to pounce on any mistake......... so I made one!  Sad
Just slightly outbraked myself at the end of the straight and was trying to leave room for Ronnie as he had vanished from my mirrors and could be right where I did not want him....alongside. The clunk against the outside armco sounded bad, but the Honda shrugged it off and I was able to give chase after Tris and Ronnie ( Axel had gone missing somewhere?)
I was able to close the gap slowly as R & T disputed the lead, but I still had some strange stability issues with the Honda, even on the main straight it wanted to weave about ( the answer became obvious later!!). Then Ronnie appears to have got carried away at the end of the straight and gone looking at armco on the escape road, so Tris was alone up front and no-one to hassle him. I pressed as hard as I dared and the gap was maybe closing, but certainly not growing despite the instability at some points.
 Eventually I was caught out as I dropped down through the rocks to blast out onto the straight with all those lovely BHPs and I managed a 180 spin without hitting anything!! That takes real skill in my book  Grin This dropped me out of sight of Tris and probably made 2nd the best I could expect.
But, as the fuel level dropped and the car got lighter the handling improved dramatically and my speed increased, proving that my problems were ride height or spring rate related and the car was simply bottoming out on race fuel............should have thought of that??!! yes

For the last few laps I was closing on Tris but I suspect that he had things under control and knew that he did not need to risk anything to take the win, but I was close enough that just one mistake from tTristan would have made things interesting lol.

Grats to Tristan on the win and commiserations to those who did not survive.
Then I was in a blind spot and had to spin the car back to face the right direction but fortunately I had a safe gap on prib back to 4th spot.

HI Smiley

I take a good start overpassing Axel  before t1.....I know the two guys in front quite " rapidos " and I have to be close of them before the srtaight, oserwise I lost the contact.....it was not difficult to fellow and I try to put maximum pressure on Ronnie, but Evil is the first to do a mistake at the end of L3.... I overpass Ronnie on the early L4.....he forget to brake at the end of the straight line and them I take the lead and have just to control who is behind me.....
....so good race , spécialy the first half, the second was a little bit lonely ...happy in the end;)
 
...thx everybody ....c u  next one  Smiley

Bravo Tristan, jolie victoire !

For me, it was one of my worst ever GPL race...
The day before, I made lot of tests and laps with different cars ...but it was in "trainer" mod ! I am so stupid sometimes !

During the qually, I made a correct 2'09"45 but during the race, I lost the control on the 1st lap just before the Dipper.

I've discovered the secret of getting around Mt.Panorama, without the loss of necessary items.  You just scare yourself silly every couple of laps, and the rest takes care of itself! blink

At racetime, t'was obvious I'd no chance of hanging onto the leaders - could only watch a tremendous scrap fade into the distance.  Which meant, one was left to pace ones lonesome self, which was managed by bouncing off the scenery, at carefully monitored intervals, every couple of laps.  So, with the last 2 laps remaining, to check that all items had remained skillfully intact, I nosedived fatally into a bank.  Bumped all 4 corners equally, surveyed the panorama, and hurried onwards to the finish line, with all 4 wheels about to fall off.  

This driving technique should not be repeated, without first obtaining many years of, skillfully acquired racing luck. Cheesy
