As of practice three from Phillip Island, 13 cars makes not for an impressive grid. Lets hope there are a lot of weekend warriors.

This usually happens, Because usually they are businessesmen who can't get to the track till saturday, so i believe that tommorrows practice/qualifying will show the grids for the weekend

The first race has run and 17 cars isn't bad i thought for the first round. the 360GT showed up, 2 TLR Diablos, a couple of GT3s
By the results it looked like a good first race but qualifying Peter Hackett was almost 3 seconds faster than Rusty French in the other Diablo Here is the results http://www.racetime.com.au/?event=p0...01&view=result |

So what's going on with Mr Stokell?
He was replaced in the East Coast Targa by a sales person, and at this event, seems to have had his Diablo taken over by either Mr Hackett or Mr French.... both coming soon after the bingle at Targa Tassie... Is all unwell in the house of TLA, or are these drivers more able to contribute to the budget? |

Correct me if wrong, but I dont think Stokell was ever going to run the the Aus GT championship, atleast not for now.
Tim Slade who competed in a few F3 races, going from the announcement from TLA earlier this year is expected to step into a Lambo seat by the end of the year. |

News from the weekend was that Aus GT and Porsche Drivers Challenge have signed a Naming Rights sponsor for the championship aswell as an associate sponsor. Good to see some positive movements happening. Cant access the press release at the moment to remember the companies. Great to see their support
Following the trend in Aus motorsport they have signed Dunlop as control tyre for 2005. On to the results from the weekend Race 2 1 Peter Hackett Lamborghini Diablo G 2 Bryce Washington Porsche Cup Car 3 Mark Eddy Porsche 911 GT3R 4 John Teulan Ferrari 360 Challeng 5 John Kaias Porsche 911 GT-3 6 Simon Middleton Porsche 911 GT3 7 Claude Giorgi Porsche 911 GT3 8 Dean Savage Ferrari 360 Challenge 9 Greg Ward Porsche GT3 Cup Car 10 Paul Stuart Porsche 993 RSR 11 Don Tryhorn Porsche 964 RS 12 Garth Rainsbury Porsche 911 13 Anthony R Moodie Porsche 911 Carrera DNF Ian Palmer Honda NSX DNF Ted Huglin Ferrari 360 GT DNF Rusty French DNF Geoff Munday Ford Mustang Race 3 1 Peter Hackett Lamborghini Diablo G 2 Rusty French Lamborghini Diablo G 3 Bryce Washington Porsche Cup Car 4 Mark Eddy Porsche 911 GT3R 5 John Teulan Ferrari 360 Challeng 6 John Kaias Porsche 911 GT-3 3600 7 Simon Middleton Porsche 911 GT3 8 Dean Savage Ferrari 360 Challenge 9 Claude Giorgi Porsche 911 GT3 3600 10 Paul Stuart Porsche 993 RSR 11 Ted Huglin Ferrari 360 GT 12 Greg Ward Porsche GT3 Cup Car 13 Don Tryhorn Porsche 964 RS 14 Garth Rainsbury Porsche 911 15 Anthony R Moodie Porsche 911 Carrera |

I took a ride down on Saturday, all I will say is I wish I hadn't wasted my time.
Looking forward to the June round of the VSCRC at least there will be a decent number of entry's. |

 As far as I can tell, Mr French has bought one or possibly both of the Diablo's. Mr Hackett was only there this weekend to show what they are capable of and possibly won't be back. All bets are off regarding Mr. Slade. No sign of Mr. Stokell.

Poor old Smiffy... I thought the pa announcement about smiffy staying back in Melbourne "Not being a bad thing" was a bit harsh... some things can stay un said, just thought!!
The GT series grid was ok, but not great, and once again parity and lap times were a problem. All the entrants were promised that the 1.37 bench mark would be right.. yet Hackett did a 1.34.8 on his first flying lap in qual, and then compounded the insult with taking more tyres than his allocation for the race. The biggest problem was the garaging. Call me what you like, but parking $500,000 cars across gravel tracks with hot slicks, in open fronted tin sheds with no lights, no security and useless pa speakers is just a joke.. And the PIARC officials were aggressive and abusive about changing wheels (to avoid the huge sharp rocks damaging the tyres and brake lines/calipers) clear of traffic, on the smooth surface exit road. Not impressed so far. But blame is shared around. Still prioritising Vic state at this stage. |

Im with you on this FF. To have cars of this value just sitting out in the open is ridiculus. The biggest parity adjustment the lambos have had recently is Mr French driving... FF, will Allan be behaind the wheel of that awsome looking 360GT sometime soon? that car is just gold....

The 360GT should be able to be tweaked for any tyre you throw at it.
Dunlop do make a tyre for it but didn't have any stock from what I was told. |

No, but the car was meant to be "paritised" with weight/ballast.

Sorry, if he broke the tyre allocation rule, thats a pretty cut and dry rule breaking, Why wasn't he DQ ?
I would imagine the parity would be a little uneven in the first event, as they were running a little blind of each cars performance. Ie There hadn't been a test prior with each car and driver to see there actual (not percieved) performance |

The TLA Diablos are 1997 models arent they, and have been racing here for a number of seasons. If the performance couldnt be worked out from that then the handicapper/parity controller needs a new compass....
