Can't wait to hear what F1 drivers have to say, about these cars at Melbourne next year.

Aww. Golding was up the inside. Look like MAcrow just didn't give enough room on exit.
Oh replay shows a bit of curb by Golding.

Probably just race incident.

Pix or it didn't happen.

Good job by this person to capture these sessions. Probably still uploading the feature race.

From what I saw at The Bend I think Randle is right, downforce needs to be addressed somehow. There was a distinct 4-5 car lengths throughout the field.

“It’s obviously a really big rear tire and a quite an effective rear wing, so there’s a lot of dirty air going at the back of the car,” Randle told Speedcafe.com.

“They’re quite an understeery car by nature without having that dirty air. It kind of just ramps up when you’re behind someone.

“I don’t know whether maybe they need to make a front wing that can adapt better for the aerowash, that involves more design, more money, more time, more people.

“Everything else seems pretty good. For two demonstration rounds, I think it’s been pretty successful.”

Spoiler: James Golding suggesting following another car is easy enough.

Sure it is James, is that why you had to have a humungus lunge and ended up here;

The internationals are impressive for the F1 round, Rubens Barrichello, Alex Premat, and now Giancarlo Fisichella.

I think James Courtney would make an interesting inclusion too.

Indeed. The same way F1 stand up for the VASC races, they are going to be blown away by this category. Having Ruebens and Fisi, is just beyond words.

It's like a Formula 1 Masters series! The category hasn't even been around for a year yet it's already gained international attention. The GP will definitely put the category on the map; showcasing these things on a world stage is brilliant.

TCR Australia and, in turn, Super 5000 delayed until the first week of September. Then again, with the news in the recent days regarding Supercars teams, it's not a huge surprise.

What's the steering effort on these things? Do they have power steering?

I'm not sure about power steering. I know the cars don't run TCS and ABS. The OP has a link to all the tech videos.
