For Utah yes.

Which in my mind was completely justifiable.

 

[catamount39]

Which in my mind was completely justifiable.

Yes it was, as IIRC the engines were made so they'd under perform/and or they were in danger of damaging the engines with the BoP given or something.

The BoP had their boost pressure at a level that couldn't be reached no matter what they did.

Acura TLX in PWC is converting to RWD for 2016. I really liked this car last year. I thought it looked fantastic with the dayglow red accents, and I liked it because it was the only AWD car in the field , although I do understand how that might hamper them. Hope the car does well with the RWD setup. Now I have a hope upon a hope that maybe we'll see a RWD sports sedan from Honda , cha, right.

That'll be alright for them to go up against Erebus and Tekno.

Red flag at the moment
Car #48 M Motorsport Lamborghini in the gravel at Hell Corner #b12hr

And it's drizzling in western Sydney.

Practice 5 completed

Car #48 M Motorsport Lamborghini in the gravel at Hell Corner #b12hr

And it's been withdrawn as a result of the damage to the rear.

 

[05XR8]

Guess Dale Wood will have to stay in shape some other way until Clipsal.

 

[IforceV8]

Only 486p video.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Doesn't look terrible on my end. Expected worse to be honest.

 

[Animera]

Silly Ferrari.

 

[Animera]

Oops, sorry, double post.

 

[TDZdave]

Hopefully a clearer live stream of the Bathurst 12 hour

 

[IforceV8]

Youtube stream keeps locking up at 720p, back to 486p

 

[Mac K]

Nismo stream is working so far for me in HD.. It is however about 20 seconds behind the official feed.

 

[TDZdave]

2.01.5 from Shane Van Gisbergen!!!!!

 

[Animera]

That was an awesome lap to watch.
Think he could have gone faster if it wasn't for traffic.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

It's just insane watching these cars lap Bathurst. They're getting on the throttle so incredibly early. Completely different to how a driver tackles the circuit in a V8 Supercar, not that it's any more exciting but just awesome in a different way.

 

[IforceV8]

Love the new timing but they forgot to include the tire make for each car.

 

[NW48]

Another blistering lap by Van Gisbergen. A 2:01:286!

Don't like the guy, but you can't deny his talent.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nissan needs to find some speed.

 

[-Fred-]

You know, I'm really going to miss those SLS'

 

[Mac K]

Is one of Rick Kelly's belts undone?

 

[aarror]

You know, I'm really going to miss those SLS'

Me too. Best sounding, and probably best looking GT3 car out there. Thankfully that glorious V8 will be in the new car as well.

That was a hell of a lap from Van Gisbergen, and with that driver lineup that car is going to be tough to beat tomorrow.

 

[twitcher]

Exciting sessions!! That was one hell of a lap from SVG. Kiwi in a McLaren, what a combo 👍 The McLarens look tough to beat, but the two Audis were pushing really hard and have some great drivers - they may not have the raw speed, but could Rast work some magic two weeks in a row?

I'm pumped for tomorrow, should be a good one

 

[-Fred-]

Thankfully that glorious V8 will be in the new car as well.

Oh yeah that's right, I, for some reason was under the impression they were going to race with the 4.0 TT V8.
