hope he can make it to Clipsal, but I doubt from the repoert, broken,collar, fibia, rib. not the best of news just short of the season.

Not to mention a broken car, which is likely not repairable in the timeframe if at all

[nic.v814]

The v8supercar website said SGR didnt even have its timing monitors on, i guess its one way of self denial, just dont look at the results

[Pro Racer]

FMD that excuse book is ****ing endless just own up and say something and what is wrong or even say we have NFI.

[peckstar]

Natsoft use the License, not the team name!

Brad Jones racing is known as BOC or WOW, GRM known are Valvoline cummins etc.....

[F J Nedos]

Mark Caruso did ok, according to natsoft.

[JustASupporter]

I think overall the liveries are better this year then last year.

Its a VESA test day, the chassis allegedly belongs to MWR... perhaps Mr Assaillit went for a few laps?

[marcus]

it was me in my newly painted Hyundai sante fe , cant ya tell ???

[marcus]

P.S

No name on this car either but I am assuming it is Taz Douglas ?

[marcus]

and finally Frosty entering the pits

[GTRMagic]

Hope it gets a birthday bodywork wise before Clipsal... looks like they peeled the stickers off and took the paint with them

[Pro Racer]

and still got a few scars from OP to boot.

A strange one sitting in the garage all alone , no driver , no tools , no mechanics , no truck no Nothing just sitting there ???

Anyone know what the go is with that ?

Thats definantly Assallit, have a look in the 'Britek goes trippy with their livery' Thread, GTR Magic has more pics of it in there.

[V8 Fireworks]

Looks like Kelly Racing (Jack Daniel's less angled on the side) and FPR (CAT more visible on the bonnet) have both tweaked their liveries... both improvements.

Why?

[JustASupporter]

Interesting about the timing system. I wonder if anyone else did their "best" times during the downtime.

In the first official test of the year, both FPR FG Falcons ran faultlessly at Winton Motor Raceway on their first extended outing. Mark Winterbottom and Steve Richards unofficially recorded times of 1:23.74 and 1:23.88 respectively during a period when the circuit's timing system crashed.

Yeah was Jack's car last year, Taz Douglass now owns the car.

The "blue box" that interfaces the timing loops on the start line to the rest of the system fried one of the circuit boards and we lost around 20 minutes of accurate times towards the end of the day as a result.

It was fixed but from previous experience the fastest times are usually in the last 30 minutes of the session when teams try to prove something.

There are good pictures from Winton on motorsport.com. Here is the link
