We must have been standing beside each other as I watched this too... however I was manually focusing a Nikon mount Sigma lens on a Pentax camera (via a adaptor) and went the wrong direction in the excitement. My pics are very blurry!
Posted this link in the historic section earlier.. some on my pics... http://photobucket.com/PhillipIsland2012 |

I sat up near there for awhile on Saturday and every race he waited until the lead cars where in a similar position. I was wondering if he'd get the call to move a bit earlier when the F5000's we on but no, waited until the cars were in a similar position. I imagine it's waiting there in case it needs to act as the safety car due to a start line bingle?

Was a great weekend. Shame there was so much carnage.
Also, a tad disappointing there were not more Group C Sportscars but you dont get lucky every year |

I wouldn't have minded if there was the confidence to run the demo a bit harder. I would love to see both of Jones's cars get a little more angry, especially the Williams.

The same event a year earlier attacted the ETCC Grice/Percy Skyline GTS-R which was pretty mega for the BTCC at the time. And there was a great battle between it and the Rouse Sierra. |

On the first clip of the Porsche, seriously unimpressed that someone way down the field passed between the rolled car and the wall, where marshals might have been. Poor show, whoever you are. Last edited by Woolley; 15 Mar 2012 at 00:58. |

Pathetic...just what are the VHRR up to...trying to turn a gathering of the faithful meeting that has been well supported for many years....into an elitist, money-grubbing "festival"

would have thought Group N would have been the mainstay of historic racing over the years?
Not sure if that is what you are referring to specifically 275, but if so I agree wholeheartedly |

This will surely annoy some Group N fans, but although they are all old cars, very few Group N cars actually have a racing history. I think this is just about the only category in the historic movement where this is the case?? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Group S is the sports car equivalent of Group N. Few cars have period racing history and CofDs are not required. Perhaps Groups N & S should be renamed Classic instead of Historic?
