Times


Lets discuss, How’s your car handling? Do you like this track? Who do you think will win this event?

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Just done some practicing and seems that this is gonna be good, just got to buy travis a rear view mirror for when he re joins the track lol

[Stonewall458]

Going to be a very interesting race. Maple Valley is hard to overtake on because of the flow of the track. You pretty much have to stay on the racing line in order to stay on track.

Best lap I've managed is a 1:27.466.

[HCR generaltso]

you aint kidding chucky.

lots of contact everywhere.

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

I am looking forward to this race now, and if the projector is bought back to work tomorrow I will borrow that to race, I will have no reason for not seeing anyone then lol

[LMR DarthMario]

quick question. do the privateers NEED to put the '0' infront of their number?

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

I believe so

[nickyf1]

WHY IS MY TEAM DOWN AS PRIVATEERS?! Seriously guys, I put in an entry....

Me, Stonewall and Adam in Phenomenal V8 Racing, Powerbuilt as main sponsor, Holden's, THE LOT!

Stop being so damn awkward!

[nickyf1]

Seriously guys, don't mean to come off like I usually do... But on the night of the entry list I actually enquired as to why my team was not on the entry list. So I put in a new entry... All my team have been added, but we are all down as individual privateers..

[AMR JSlim]

Surely i dont have to put the '0' in front of mine, seeing as no one is using 44.

[LMR DarthMario]

Surely i dont have to put the '0' in front of mine, seeing as no one is using 44.

and im using 43

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

I did try to find out the answer but AJ not online, I just think you have to use 0 as its there

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

And nicky I aint ignoring you I just cant answer it as I have nothing to do with the entry list

[nickyf1]

Thats fine mate Just a little annoyed when things like this happen with AJ..

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Understand that

[x Gashi x]

Can it be a transparent 0? Lol.

[x Gashi x]

So that would make phenom #s 20, 21, and 22. Can I safely assume that my new team will be 23, and 24?

[nickyf1]

Also, the class of cars used for the TORA V8 Challenge and, in the real world, the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series and Fujitsu Development Series is not ''Super V8'' as the SV8 suggests..... Sorry to be a pain, but if you guys want to be a realistic and knowledgable orginsation.. these things have to be done properly.

Same with the touring cars, how can they be Super 2000 class if many of the cars don't have a 2000cc capacity? (The Genesis has a 3.8 litre V6)

[nickyf1]

Anyway... discussion...

My Holden is definetally capable of a 1.25.9, came damn close the other day and ended up whacking the outside concrete wall at the end of the lap..

[CQR Aero]

The idea of the zero in your numbers is to differentiate team cars from privateers.

[nickyf1]

And its to stop anyone from having the number 15 conflicting with a privateer who has the number 15.

[CQR Aero]

Exactly that

[WWR Chillz]

This will be awesome. I hope there will be a big turn out. Cars look and sound amazing.

[WWR Chillz]

@ Nicky - You do know it's now Maple Valley Full NOT Reverse.

[Y22 DJH]

feeling good, 1.25.5xx
