[VASC18R09R10] WD40 Phillip Island 500, 20-22 April 2018

Not long till Phillip Island

Has Dunlop fixed their delamination problem for the Island, or will we see tricycle racing again?

Will 888 dominate?
Will Mr Lowndes' Tassie special continue?

Can Tickford get a top 10?
Can NisMoAu?

Can SdS get thru a whole weekend with the same car spec in the chassis?

These questions, and more, only a week away from finding out...

The Punters are leaving Wednesday morning for a few days on The Island.
Weather looks OK at this stage but they don't call it Siberia for nothing......

Can Mr Stanaway, Mr Golding (home track) and Mr Hazelwood lift themselves off the bottom?

Can WAU find form on a track where they have struggled recently and continue there run as the second best Team?

DJRTP should be better here and possibly the lost technical Team at TR will find there way out of the wilderness.

Interesting as I thought one of the incentives for Fullwood changing camps was the enduro drive.

Must have the downwind brake pads in for the Hardly Normal Datsun.

Hopefully race 2 they will put the crosswind from the rear quarter pads in.

Apparently they had the engine out of the SdS car overnight and did some updates as well. Downgrades more like. Must have needed some bits for Kelly or Caruso.

It was Kelly's first podium since 2015 (and on his 500th start too).

Also Scotty now leads the championship by one point...

What I found interesting was how the top 2 cars achieved their laptimes which appeared to be quite different. Whincup looked to be running less DF giving him that top speed advantage but was visibly less stable in the high speed corners compared to Scott. That looks after tyres better which also explains why they only changed 2 tyres for Scott and 4 for Whincup.

I wish Skaifey was as observant as you mate. He was almost hysterical watching Whincup pull Scotty down pit straight
