You may have seen the ads for Bathurst with Lowndesy running.

Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my three Bathurst wins and I have the trophies sitting at home to remind me.

But Brocky was King of the Mountain and Lowndesy was his protege, so that's OK by me that they feature him in the promotions.

glad it's ok by him.

Anyone else wishing he accepted one of those 'offers' to race overseas?

Did anyone double check with Jamie about Rusty Crowe? Jamie, if you're reading this and its ok tht VESA use Russell, let us know, if not, we'll assume you're not a fan...

Is this guy for real? Maybe the v8's should be renamed - V8Supercars, brought to you by Jamie Whincup... Everything is about him, and if there is something that doesnt suit him look out!!

Jamie, just keep quiet and drive your car, no one cars what you think

Going by the vitriol in this thread, I would say that it is the opposite, and a lot of posters really do care about what thoughts he writes.

As well as ensuring all componentry, parts and accessories were fully tested ahead of next weekend's event, the four teammates took the opportunity to try on their new enduro-spec racesuits, featuring Vodafone's rocket red where the suits were traditionally white.

Carrying the event logo, the suits will be auctioned off online at http://www.teamvodafone.com/ immediately following the event to raise money for charities supported by the Vodafone Foundation.

How do the internationals go with helmets? Use their own? or borrow Aussie ones? Would think they'd have different connections for all the extras (water bottle, communications, ventilation that some of them run).

I wouldnt want to borrow someones sweaty helmet thats for sure.
I'm sure they can afford to buy/be given new ones with the necessary bits.

Keep in mind most drivers have more than one helmet. What i was asking, is if they use their own helmet from their country equiped with features to suit there races cars, and mod them to work with our cars, or just use an Aussie helmet.

Pro Racer · 5 Sep 2009, 14:23 (Ref:2534925)

it's definatly a very good and interesting question. it might be a good one to send off to a team like 888 who have international driver's.

dirttrack · 6 Sep 2009, 00:16 (Ref:2535110)

Most of them if not all use their own helmets. The drink hose is usually only changing the plug on the hose or running another hose. The radios are fairly universal so not too many problems their either and same with the ventilation as I don't think any helmets are Aussie made. The helmets such as the ones made by Stand 21 have the plugs for the air that are all similar. So as long as the drivers are dedicated enough and the team organised it is nothing that can't be easily fixed at a trial run at the workshop and a test day or two. The big problem is when the egos kick in and Driver A wants to use his shifter and have the seat where he has it usually then driver B says he cant possibly drive with this set up. Then teams have been known to waste nearly whole practice sessions moving seats and changing where everything plugs in.
