Sorry video was private, but now I've fixed that.

Very optimistic passing move into turn 1 .

Torana drivers on P plates are a frightening enough sight in anyone's  rear vision mirror, let alone under brakes at the end of the main straight.

Nice driving to miss him.

WOAH!    That could have made the weekends outcome very different.

That must focused your mind a little...great to see your car going around...

Marcus,

Show us footage from first lap of race 2 Sunday!!!!

[Evan Bottcher]

You were featured on In Pit Lane just now - a great big speed wobble

[MarcusG]

Ha ha yeah didnt really have time to think about it when it happened. Watching ther footage after I saw how close it really was.

Oh really I was on speed week? Did anyone tape it? I would love to get a copy. I was having major rear end handling issues all weekend and was as a result quite slow out of turn one hence the speed wobble. Its not nice when you cant get power down as per usual out of turn one, over the hill or onto the straight.

I am told I will probable be on Blend Line TV at some stage too.

Oh Gee that did look bad, just found it on youtube. Got to sort out why it was handling so badly.

Easy solution.  Driver!!!!!

[Neil Choi]

Do you think it is that bent watts link?

What's the link Marcus? Would like to see.

Thanks Evan.

Yeah I think possibly the watts linkage was binding and would explain terrible rear end grip/handling. Will have a look at it. I saw some video from behind me and it looks like the rear was lifting a wheel a little. Hopefully that's it as an easy fix and get the beautiful handling back.
