Round 2 Symmons Plains

So straight onto round 2 at Symmons Plains, and just like 1988, its a week later



The track once again suits horsepower, but is hard on brakes and gives the right front tyre a hard time

Here is how the top 5 looked after qualifying for the real 1988 ATCC round 2 at Symmons


Looking forward to another close race between everyone, how fast is everyone going?

The actual 1988 race isn't on Youtube, however the corresponding Symmons Plains round from 1990 is, so enjoy it (a classic Brock vs Johnson battle)

Dont think im gonna get much practice in this week. Alot going on. I'll try and get on the server when i can.

I'll deff be there on sunday though.

that dont look good sierra sierra sierra sierra

kris keep in mind they were winding well north of 550 bhp out of the RS500 by that stage.

Even with 4 hundred whatever HP it has in rfactor, the sierra will be the car to beat at most tracks, in qualy anyway.

I'm just chockers with work/study stuff this week, so literally will not be turning a lap at symmons plains before sunday afternoon. Hope that's enough incentive to get certain competitors to put some solid laps in??

best news ive had all day, lol

I got on tonight and had some good laps going around with BillyBob. Kept him behind me for a while, until i spun off. lols.

I managed to get a 0:55.858 on Hard tyres with low fuel.

Setup is pretty dodgy. Lots of work to do before sunday, dunno if ill get much chance until the weekend.

looks like shayn might win smashing ol' dicks time by a second! i forgot to let work know i cant work on sundays due to errr.."family commitments"? hopefull they dont roster me on. il just have to take a sickie!

I can't make it. I'll be on the way home from Eastern Creek. Have fun.

Good luck at Eastern Creek, David.

Let us know how you go.

thats the kind of committment i like to hear around here lol

Gonna be a tough round here in the M3, looking forward again to the challenge... what times are people doing around here atm?

gc i think ya will be suprised did some laps with 510gt he was in m3 runninhigh 55s.. my best 2nite was 54.2 but it frys tyres or maybe i just fry tyres lol... but 100 laps here lol its gonna cain hard

Managed a 55.1 offline Sad thing is - I'm not going to make it I'm moving house over the next 3 weekends That means my big pc, desk and steering wheel are the first to go. Round 4 might be possible if I'm lucky.

Have a good one chaps. This basically takes me out of the running all together since I didn't have much of a championship chance anyway. I will still race when I get setup again tho See you soon!

soo is that 13 or 14 drivers left racing?

Hey Wally. What do I need to get into this brutish series??

Hi Devil,

The mod and track is on the download page

From there choose a car from either the ATCC88 or Bathurst88 folder, and register on SLS (the car numbers on SLS will show which one's are taken so far), plenty of BMWs and Commodore's to choose from, and a few Sierra's and Skylines left too

Wally will be able to add more info i've forgotten

Look forward to seeing on the track devil

Yip. I'm going to get back into racing here again after a lengthy absence.

See you on track.

wow thats great news devil will be good to rub doors again like round 1 in porche series.... see ya sunday

I've rattled off a few low 54s so far.... the biggest challenge is keeping the right front tyre on the car without sacrificing too much speed....

definitely dano. Don't forget I haven't driven these cars in a looooooong time. haha.

I've gone with a Sierra as well so maybe I'll do ok. I just don't know.

Sierra huh, you cant really lose in it. Even if yur really crap. Lol.

And you arent.

Ahaha. Did you see me trying to drive that damn thing??? I'm better in a M3. But I thought I'd try something different.

Hi everyone. Once again tonight the server will be rebooted at 7pm to ensure we get the best outa everything we can.
Password is ttrfun.
Sometime today I will be deciding whether to swap to the other 635 or not as I didn't get any points in round 1.

Welcome back to devilracer69, who has provided us with some excellant duels and entertainment in the past.
Richard don't panic too much about your boy... Unless she has some really good grounds for attempting this, you are the father and she hasen't got the right to prevent a father from seeing his child alltogether. Back to the racing, don't forget to get yourself registered on SLS for the series or you won't show up in the results.

Webber, if your not doing anything today ... do you want to meet up somewhere and go to lakeside for a while?
only 10 bucks today to get in.

Here's an interesting fact for this season.

Dick Johnson Racing won every race this season with either Dick or John Bowe winning every race except one throughout the normal series.

Good Ol Lakeside provided the odd one out win of Tony Longhurst.


W26

haha. Johnson won't win this race I can tell you. lol. I'm slower than a sloth in heat

Hey Wal. Awesome offer thanks mate - but I've got father's day lunch with the whole family so no go. Some day though we should get all the QLDers including JD together (go karting?!??) pick a day when there are good deals brisbane-NZ so we can show the kiwis a thing or two

Have done no practice yet, will be jumping on to turn some laps at 6 pm or so. Really looking forward to some good battles with you devilracer, hope everything works out with mini devil.

I won't be competing tonight guys. I'm too busy doing other things.

Sorry.

I'll def be in the next round. Probably won't run the sierra tho. Will probably switch to a M3 like I ran at XGN when I put it smack bang in the middle of the bigger cars at Adelaide.

I reckon keep running the M3 Wal, its quicker than the 635, and you'll be more than in the hunt at Winton, Lakeside & Amaroo

Keep in the M3 Wally. It is capable of out qualifying the bigger cars.
