That Commodore looks really good, and so much better than a V8 Supercar because of one thing. The wheels. It really gives the car a hot look. What brand and size are they?

The wheels are by Forgeline (www.forgeline.com). They are a 3 piece wheel with spun rims on forged aluminium alloy centres.
The fronts are 18 x 11, the rears 18 x 13. |

No problem. For those in NZ, the car should/will be at Puke for the race meeting 14/15 Feb, barring freight mishaps.

Dam was out at Pukekohe yesterday mainly to see this beast in action. I took these as they were lining up on the dummy grid but a crash and delay in fixing the armco in another class sent them all back to their garages. When it was time to come out and qualify they no showed. Not sure why but it was rumored Nick had to go to a wedding. Was gutted to say the least. Car looks great.
  Great class though. Got some great shots down at the hairpin in race 1 including the Gillon / Brennan turn around. |

The wing failed on friday unfortunately, and with no spare and a lack of decent ones available in short notice, Nicks Evo wing was used. Unfortunately the replacement wing caused a massive in balance and Nick struggled for confidence in a snappy car.
The car ran without fault outside of that, it was sooo quick in testing, I wanted to race it! All should be fine for the next round. The manufacturers of the wing and mounts are being informed now, so something will be tried and tested for then. |

Wow what has been done to it. It is running in some very expensive company and who is driving it.
Unlucky about the rear wing Simon what sort of times in testing was it doing. |

But if it's a ball made out of leather inflated with air hit with a bat, racquet or club, played on a course, green or court by yubbies or left-wingers it SUCKS!!

Yeah the damp track I think helps the skyline, plus that most of the 'big boys' have a choice of full wets or slicks only...
I was did probably 15 or so laps and had a best of 55.3 on fairly used rubber. I reckon its good for mid 54s on new rubber. Nick went really well in testing, was down to low 56s first up... |

What makes the package of the Holden good, it has really been developed for a long time at Team Dynamik. The car is basically a V8 Supercar, as in it has the same basic geometry, shocks, cage etc which Dynamik used through their V8 Supercar years. Add a massively powerful engine, lost some weight, big wings and larger wheels and grippier tyres, so it should really do the job.
The car is still to be developed a long way from here as well by Dynamik. It can lose about another 100kgs, it still has the shift cut and traction control to be enabled, as well as some more aero work to be done. I can see it doing potentially a 53?! |

Smokes!Sounds like the TVR will no longer be the King of Pukekohe , unless Mr Hansen digs deeper into what seems like bottomless pockets to squeeze out another second or so in the Tuscan

Should be good for competition! Also remember that Nick does not have all that much race and driving experience, so that will bring the car back a bit as well.
I have to say Nick did a really good job in testing though. Surprised me a lot as he only has raced a 4WD Mitsi Evo, so to jump into this beast and to run a second off myself and nearly 2.5 secs quicker than he has ever gone around there is impressive! |

Just to put Carl's Pukukohe lap times into perspective, Back in 2002 Kayne Scott qualified in a 54.8, and still holds the official lap record for TraNZam/ sports sedans at 55.5. We know, from all of our years running at Puke, that the track is quite a bit faster now than it was back then, so a mid 54 is still on in a 5litre TraNZAm, let alone that car with 6 litre, engine. It might be of interest to lovers of Sports sedan, that we, MPM, have started work on rebuilding Kayne's round tube C5 Corvette, but incorporating a very good 6 litre engine. Our plan is for Kayne to run it next year in GT1, hopefully win a few races then put it up for sale. Our objective mid 53's. Cheers, Mark Petch. |

Sounds like this could be fun Mark! I need to talk Nick into letting me have a run against Kayne. If only...
