Just finished watching it , recorded it to miss the crappy bits but was very surprised in the change to the SBS format Much better than the events covered so far . Might get more people interested in the future with coverage like that .
As far as the vehicles , very surprised to see these mega horsepower big dollar supercar bias vehicles which are meant to have weights of under 1000kg looking as if they need to add some kind of ex f1 turn brake system to get them to turn in with any speed even the 180's sil's where getting stuck trying to drift behind such where the low corner entry speeds . How about adding so kind of supercar handling to them if there have this horsepower{lol} and weight that there meant to have they will spin the tyres in any gear , like a supercar does { maybe not the paul crash morris vehicle with the parts came from but still } . Funny watching the mega dollar motec dash bouncing about on that scary weak looking steering column and only showing a speed of 50ks in a corner . Must be vehicle speed not rear wheel speed . After having a hour to kill looking over that ute before the Melbourne event i couldn't work out the logic with having the diff lower than the wheel hub , and the suspension arms at inverse angles to the standard anti squat design of leading trailing arm irs ??? lost me as well as the driveshaft angle adding to the friction big time .
But looking at the level of the nissan vehicles now with good set ups , sponsors , tyres , drivers etc maybe the big $$$$ vehicles really will never dominate the sport .
As for the ae86 crew , what driving there with shortage of power . As normal Simon is ripped off again i guess he is getting used to that . Crabs your consistent driving without letting any pressure get to you mind fuck the others into a what looked like panic attacks to get away from that cornering speed .
Why are there glass still in both of those cars ?
Also since its seems to becoming a tyre manufacture war , why doesn't this forum pressure Yokohama via email to get into this contest behind these guys .
