[CTCRA19R2] CarSales 2019 TCRA Round 2, Phillip Island-7-9 June

18 cars set for this event...

It will be interesting to watch the TCR cars on one of the fastest tracks in the country...

And to see what the line up looks like for the event, with a 2nd GWR Hyundai rumoured for the running, and a potential 3rd Wall Racing Civic joining the field

Who will win?

Not long now til we find out...

Are 18 confirmed?


The 3rd Honda is definitely not for a little while yet

If I've read the tea leaves correctly, a long-time Tickford Racing enduro pilot could be getting a start.

There's also chat that several former AusGT gentlemen drivers are making serious enquiries.

If you flip the tea leaves over, there is also a very well known long established team that has had entries across many categories involved in running a car or 2 along with a current Australian Motorsport man-about-town

Is there an intention at Phillip Island to run the cars on a sighting lap, and switch tyres front to rear prior to the start? It became a convention in SuperTouring all those years ago...

GT tops the first session easily, admittedly with fresh rubber, and the wife not far behind him in fourth with the same rubber. Hmmm... Maybe I could have phrased that better. ;-)

Wow I had hoped Leanne would pants the other ladies but how much are the cars handicapping the various competitors?

8 second spread over the field isn't a good look.

Some of those at the tail end, are driving for their careers...

Can you still drive your car into the track and park fence side ? Haven't been down to the Island for a few years.

I think so. And this is a great idea, specially for the foreign users.

Another great race today. Quite strange to see a Giulietta winning at Phillip Island, a great comeback for the championship leader and a good podium for the Renault (does "Moffgane" sound good? ).
