[VASC18R11R12] Perth Supersprint, Wanneroo Raceway, 4-6 May 2018

**GTRMagic** · 22 Apr 2018, 10:26 (Ref:3816882)

Almost time to make the annual journey across the country to Wanneroo Raceway.

This venue is more abrasive than a Kelvinmonster v’s TC meeting of the 2000’s

888 seem to hang on here okay, concern about the need to take off all the aero load to keep splitters alive is an interesting development ifea for ZB..

Too many choices...

#1 for the win?

Disappointing lack of promotion of the event on the east coast, wondering if Tourism WA is still involved.

Very little advertising here TBH

Point and shoot track will suit 888 I'm tipping. And Le Brocq.

Jam3s · 25 Apr 2018, 10:55 (Ref:3817300)

I'd say it's far from point and shoot, personally. You need a car with really good balance to nail the sweepers and the right up the hill and that's where time is haemorrhaged badly if a car is poorly balanced.

....and something kind on its tyres.

I thought resurfacing changed that over the past year

Im just going on previous years. Was not aware of the resurfacing.

And Jason Bright still holds the Supercars lap record from 2004 when the track was freshly resurfaced and only 3 seconds slower than Gary West's outright record. Perhaps Stanaway can break it this year?

Possibly but on the evidence of this & last season, reasonably accurate.

At this stage last season after 10 races Brighty had an average starting position of 16.1 and an average finishing position (not inc. DNFs) of 17.6 including 3 top tens. Stanaway has an average starting position of 21.2 and average finishing position (not inc. DNFs) of 21.6 with a best finish of 16th.

Mr Davison is now aboard that chassis at 23RED..

Perhaps they feel that people will sacrifice one for the other, as opposed to those who've travelled in, and want to kill two birds with stone.

champcarman · 30 Apr 2018, 09:47 (Ref:3818326)

Should be a good weekend of racing entertainment with the support categories including Formula Ford (WA locals?), Super 2 with a few WA drivers, stadium super trucks and the usually strong WA saloon cars.

I guess it is provisional pole in as much as it is the fastest practice time after P1.The top ten in combined P1 & P2 practice times automatically advance to Q2 whereas the rest have to go through Q1 to get to Q2 (and then the top 10 in Q2 move on to Q3)

djr81 · 4 May 2018, 07:21 (Ref:3819321)

Quali format looks to be working well. Makes P1 & P2 count for something, especially when there is such massive tyre deg. Time to roll it out elsewhere?

Just hope there are no incidents transferred from quali to practice with 26 cars on 2.4kms of track.

as we found out last year in an event (although its always been the case) if qualifying is cancelled, pole is set by the fastest times in practice. so att he time it was provisional pole, although obviusly it has changed now

that was good session, plenty of time to get some information and aset of greens available at the end of the day if you need (one set has to be handed back)
