Thanks guys. Lots of fun, although I got tired come race time so I wasn't able to reproduce my practice times in the race. Nevermind.
Next time I'll bring myself an aftermarket boost controller and wind some more boost into the friggin Volvo.

Thanks Ryan, good to see some Oceanic events coming back. Much love.:thumbup:

What a way to start Sunday morning thanks Ryo for orgenizing and thanks RD for hosting

Praccy*
was realy fighting not the car but the hangover could get nowhere near of my pb of 59.7 late in Praccy i managed a 1.00.2
thanks to Warren who gave me a awsome draft for some laps

Qualy*
i finaly broke the 1 min barrier with a 59.9 and was most of the qualy time on 2nd till my team mate Gary joined 5 mins befor the end
and just grabbed 2nd of me with a 59.6

Race1*
got a awsome kungfu start and grabbed my self 2nd of Gary but oh well these RS500 monster just walked away on the backstrait nothing
to do against with my poor e30 from then i was just trying to hold the gab to Jari at 3 secs as i suddenly saw Ryo do a flip over at turne 4
i nearly lost it but managed to keep it together, comming to the end of the race my soft tyers where realy giving up on it and i had a hard
time to hold it on track and Jari started to reel me in 2 more laps and he would have me but lucky me the race was over so i scored 2nd
behind Gary

Race2*
again a great start this time from 5th cuz of reverse grid Philip in his rover came not so good of the line so i moved outside of him as he came
more to the outside too so i had trubbles braking thanks to Jari for letting enough room on turne 4 in lap 2 or 3 Rhys runned wide so Philip
and i got past him coming down to the turne 6 Philip runned wide so i grabbed 2nd behind Warren while Gary walked easy past me on the
backstrait i tryed to stay aslong as it was possible to him and came a few laps later close to Warren as i came way better out of turne 5 i tryed
to go for it in turne 6 (sorry Warren for the little touch i throug it will workout without contact) a few laps later i noticed Ryo in my mirror and he
came up in big steps put the head down and tryed everything to keep him on 3rd with 2 laps to go we both runned up on 2 mercs who are batteling
it out both made room anyway i lost a bit concentration and nearly lost it trying to catch the car Ryo was on the short side of the shaft and lost some
time gave me time to breath (sorry mate) did not noticed that it was last lap as Gary slowed down a bit for a BVM team finish

realy great racing there guys enjoyed it much even my head where hurting a lot
cya all next time

Really quality stuff.

Did a little testing the night before (stayed up a bit late), so very tired like others.

The only car I didnt drive the night before was the car I decided to go with - the M3.

Easy under 1 minute and in quali I popped out a superb laptime with a 59.304.

Race 1: Got a great start, but lap 3 I hit the kerb at T4 a little hard and on my roof I went. I got a stop/go for rejoining in the wrong place and when I pitted for said stop/go the crew decided to spensd 53 seconds reparing my damage :/. So just plugged away and ended up 9th thanks to others pitting.

Race 2: Top 6 were reversed, so I started from 9th still. Got an ok start, but Glenn had nitrous or something in his Volvo . I dived down the inside and then went past Rich on the exit too, was a bit narrow though. Went past Jari and then almsot flipped it again, this time the last corner, lost a heap of time and gave Glenn a good show.

Went past Glenn, caught back up to Jari and Warren and went past both through getting better exits in two successive corners, almost cleaned up Jari in the Rover mind. Gary was out front by now and with the similar pace of the Cossie and M3 round here I knew it would be difficult to catch him, so set my sights on Mikey in 2nd. I caught up but I could never get close enough for a pass until he had a huge moment in T3, which left me nowehere to go but inside of him and I lost out, touching him, sliding sideways and jumping over the grass losing a few seconds on him. With it being the penultimate lap, the fight was over, but it was good one .

Next week Queensland
