and lets see if that ferrari gets anywhere near a 2.04 when it counts on race weekend

and then lets take a v8 up there on an unoffical test day, when they can run it in a non enduro trim and see how it goes
Theres a 2.08 minimum set, if you go faster you get 50kg.

And the v8 qualify as fast as possible, although granted, if the v8s could use their sprint tyre they might be fast.

Only in prac and quali, tell the whole story instead of what you want the world to believe.

You said the Ferrari was in 12hr trim for a 4, I looked forward to seeing him do multiple laps under that once the track rubbers up.

I hope you aren't wearing Ferrari underpants and back more than one team.

Is there any forum where you aren't disliked?

True, the benchmark is only for prac/qual. In the race, there well may be an opportunity, but traffic and fuel loads/tyre life will play a part. But, FWIW, the 2.04.95 was set NOT on green tyres, they had done a run already.

I always back Ferrari, but not Maranello Motorsport! They're competition, but they were last year too, and my car beat them easily, despite being much less powerful, although supposedly the same..... Although this year, they've stolen my last years trump card, in Simonsen. But we've repaired that damage quite well i think

My tip for the race, other than the Huglin car of course, is Bairdos 458... he could even nudge Simonsen for pace.

Just because YOU come on the internet to look for friends, doesn't mean we all do. I like to seek out the BSers, and keep 'em honest...... like yourself

Are you suggesting the v8's use the same motor in bathurst qualifying as they do in a sprint round? highly unlikely, the bullet proof them up to run all day.

and now you start throwing variables into your 2.04 claim, depends on fuel. tyres. traffic blah blah blah

ask a v8 team if you want to know that answer... But I'm sure as hell they won't be throwing ~$150k engines around willy nilly.

and NO, I'm not adding any variables, a 458 did the time at a Bathurst sprint meeting. It was a clean lap. If a clean lap becomes available with a similar fuel and tyre situation in the 12hr, there's no reason it can't repeat the time, or better.

each race car is built to different RULES that restrict how fast they can go, stop ******* off trying to compare them too much.... They both lap the mountain pretty damn quickly

Yes. No Hossack or Ricciardello however. 33 cars so it should be an awesome sight. Though, sadly I can't see anybody going under an 2:11 or 2:12.

Remember the build-up when the sports sedan returned to the mountain in 1989 (?) ?

There was talk of all kinds of records being broken. But unfortunately most people failed to consider the limted budgets of the team and the limited experience on the mountain for the top sports sedan drivers at the time time.

Keith Carling probably had the best car, but I think the limited practice laps he had were his first drive at the mountain.

The end result was a massive disappointment in regards to outright speed.

Indeed.

They'll need to be on top of things to tame their beasts there.
