[iV8SC11-R19A,R19B&R19C] L&H 500 Phillip Island - 16-18 September
Welcome to the 'Season of Endurance'
The drivers & teams are locked in now.. who will make the most of this weekend to come up trumps? Hard to look past #88 or #888... I would think #888 might have the edge, with a co pilot able to offer setup advice that seems to make the main pilot go even better than normal. Your thoughts? |

I think "some of the weekend" is running in the 4th Always felt SBR have some reasonable speed at PI |

Well it's very hard to pass on the #88 and #888 machines but I actually think the guys from Kelly Racing are dark horses.

So Mother Energy will be a Star Wars backed car? So does it mean that George Lucas make changes every couple of years to the event's footage? Will Webb shoot first? |

Its amazing what a team can do with a livery when the naming rights sponsor isnt the primary backer of the car...
What will the Bathurst car look like? |

I can imagine the Ch7 commentators having a field day with that car with Star Wars-esque puns and what not.
Anyway, may the livery live long and prosper |

Hmmmm,
Quoting Star Trek when referring to a Star Wars livery seems.......highly illogical |

That star wars livery would be better suited in F1 - at the india team..

P1
Early days... but BJR, DJR & SBR are nowhere... I presume #9 had a technical issue? Such a slow lap.. and went out again but didnt do a flyer. Track time for Mr McIntyre didnt come off then Of interest too is looking how quick the codrivers are in #2, #888 and #88... the first 2 are close.. the third maybe 1.5s south of them... early days of course.. but maybe puts risk into betting on #88 for the win |

PMM has tweeted that #49 lost a right front wheel on track during the first session... must have made it back to go out again?
Second session on now seems to be for the codrivers so far... |
