Phillip Island Prod Sports 1hr - Nov 21-22nd

[CT]

Thanks guys. I've just stepped up for air after racing at sandown on the weekend at the Shannons Nationals - more on that later. Phillip Island is such a fantastic track for a fast well mannered car that I lvoe going there every year. This year the heavens opened up giving me the best chance ever of having a strong result. After having a moment with a tyre wall on saturday morning I though my weekend was going to be short but it buffed out and I did a single flying lap in the wet to claim 10th on the grid. This all changed with the co-drivers session being dry pushing me back to 23rd for a race start. I had some great battles through the race but overtaking the Maserati and sticking with the David Wall GT3 in the damp conditions were a couple of highlights. I have stuck some stuff on You Tube to give you an idea of the conditions and just how to use a safety car to your advantage.

Nice move around the outside of the Keefer/Marsh MX5 and the Maserati in the second vid.

You'll get yourself a reputation for driving in the wet if you're not careful, well done Chris

Does that car have 6UL's on it and if so, what size?

Didn't like the look of that water across the bottom of Lukey Heights

What a weekend!!

I was very happy to beat all the 2F MX5s in the Co-Drivers race on Saturday and have the 2nd fastest 2F lap for the weekend by .07 of a second! 1.54.35.

A moment of inexperience meant I lost about a minute and a half (and as such letting our main competition catch up the minute twenty I pulled in the first 10 laps) by ending up in the kitty litter in the 1 hour. Luckily I could get out of the kitty litter and continue. We finished the race, which meant Paul took out 2nd in the 1 hour series for the year.

I can't wait for the 2010 series - I'm there with bells on.

Thanks to all the guys there for making it such an enjoyable trip.

Nah mate, Chris runs 17's and 16's in the wet I think.

Yep - Cal's right. What about the Keefer car - probably does run your wheels Emilio. Of course, if you decide to do a 17x8 at any time, I could be persuaded to change....

Yes, the Keefer car has 15x8 6UL with 205/50 R15 Toyo R888.
