January 2017 11:41 by Rare Spares in General, Rare Spares // Tags: Rare Spares, Motorsport, Supercar series, Touring Car Masters, TCM, automotive world, automotive, Bathurst, John Bowe, Aussie Motorsports, Australia driving roads, Australian cars, Australian classic cars, Automotive Enthusiasts, Automotive industry, classic cars, Festival of Motorsport, 2016 Racing, Racing, Car Racing // Comments (0) When it comes to the automotive world, it definitely goes without saying that we at Rare Spares are suckers for Motorsport. Whether it be the iconic Supercars (formally V8 Supercars) or the Touring Car Masters, we can’t get enough of fast and furious four wheeled action. Here we will take a look back at some of the series my exciting moments and how they finished up. Last year the Supercar series went through, some big changes, one of which was dropping the V8 name from the series to make way for turbo charged vehicles. However, the year was not without incident. Who could forgot the Red Bull poster boys Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen fighting at the front throughout the season, until the second last round in New Zealand where one punted the other, sending Van Gisbergen sliding off the road. This Supercars season also saw the first full-time female racer in decades enter the series. Simona De Silvestro was a former Indy Car racer and with her impressive wild card entry in the 2015 Bathurst, she was locked into a three year deal in the Australian category. Some other big moments saw HRT move to Triple Eight with Holden choosing the team over Walkinshaw Racing, ahead of the development of their new 2nd generation Supercar. The biggest story would have to go to the events that took place at the Bathurst 1000. Will Davison and Jonathon Webb were named the Bathurst champions after a dramatic end to the race in October. Whincup was stripped of his first place result due to a 15 second time penalty that was applied post-race. The series ended up being taken out by Van Gisbergen after an extraordinary display of skill and ability throughout the year. The Touring Car Masters also provided nothing short of a thrilling series once again, with high horse power and classic metal never failing to impress. One of the most memorable moments would go to the man Glenn Seton taking out the title for the first Trans-Tasman challenge. The Touring Car Masters and Central Muscle Cars went head to head at Mount Panorama for an incredibly exciting race which saw the Thunder Road Racing Team Australia driver claim his third TCM race win at Bathurst and fourth of the season. The series also provided some valiant efforts with Eddie Abelnica ending a 64 race streak without a Touring Car Masters race victory, thanks to a brilliant performance at the stunning Phillip Island GP Circuit. Abelnica powered his Melbourne’s Cheapest Cars XB Falcon hardtop to the win from fourth on the grid, passing Glenn Seton, Jason Gomersall and John Bowe in an outstanding display of steering. The Touring Car Master season title went to none other than Rare Spares ambassador, John Bowe, after he recorded his eighth race win of the year with an 80 point lead ahead of second place winner, Eddie Abelnica. With such an exciting season of Motorsport behind us, we are lucky to have such a vibrant and passionate automotive scene and with 2017 in full swing, we cannot wait to see what this year will bring!

    Manawatu Car Club Inc Magazine October 2020

    B Manawatu Car Club Inc Magazine October 2020 Page 1 of 54 EDITORSPEAK… email: [email protected] After bashing my head against a brick wall with Auckland Transports “sledgehammer to crack a nut” approach to road safety, I’m heartened to see that the proposed speed limit changes in the local Manawatu area (submissions closed early last month) seem to have been proposed in a considered and commonsense manner and in some cases go contrary to current NZTA recommendations. Obviously lowering speed limits or having a flexible limit around schools is a no brainer, but, for example, not lowering the limit on the Pahiatua Track to below 80kph seems to indicate that whoever was responsible has a pretty good handle on the realities of travelling on rural and semi-rural Manawatu roads. Well done that bloke/blokess, let’s hope the submission process doesn’t overturn these totally sensible options. The final round of the FAE Winter series proved to be a game of two halves. Run under Covid restrictions it became a 2-day affair like the first round, and the weather went from a beautiful sunny Saturday to a wet and average Sunday. Of course the MX5’s got to run on Sunday!! Waking up to the sound of rain wasn’t promising, though a quick look at the forecast on my phone revealed it clearing from 9.00am. Quite simply, they lied. A massive contrast to my trip down from Auckland the previous day, Tee shirt, sun streaming down from a clear blue sky, the mountains looking magnificent cloaked in white….

    Stewards Summary of Judicial Outcomes

    STEWARDS SUMMARY OF JUDICIAL OUTCOMES Event Document No. 42 2020 INTERNATIONAL VIRGIN AUSTRALIA SUPERCARS CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 31 “SUPERCHEAP AUTO BATHURST 1000” Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales 13th to 18th October 2020 STEWARDS SUMMARY OF JUDICIAL OUTCOMES, Update #3: issued Sunday 18 October 2020 at 1940hrs. Matters from Race 31: Deputy Race Director Incident Determinations At the request of Kelly Racing, the DRD conducted an investigation into an allegation that Car #44 was driving excessively slowly under Safety Car. No breach was established by a review of Broadcast and Gearhouse footage, nor by Supercars telemetry, and the DRD therefore determined that the matter did not warrant referral to the Stewards. At the request of Brad Jones Racing, the DRD conducted an investigation into an allegation that Car #34 slowed excessively in the Pit Entry lane. A review of Broadcast and Gearhouse footage did not reveal slowing beyond what might be anticipated in damp conditions of a Car slowing to ensure it did not exceed the Pit Lane speed limit in Pit Lane. Therefore no breach of the Rules was established. Stewards’ Decisions – Penalties imposed On Lap 3 the Stewards imposed a 15 Second Time Penalty on Car #3, Jones/Blanchard, for a breach of Article 3.5.1 of Schedule B3 – failure to immediately comply with Mechanical Flag. On Lap 57 the Stewards received telemetry data from the HoM which recorded Car #19’s rear wheels rotating at 23kph for 13 seconds during its Pit Stop before it was returned to the ground. The rotation of the wheels was also observed by the HoM.

    Volume 2, Issue 7 December 2010 The Australasian Society for Motorsports Medicine and Rescue Contents Race control Motorsport review Recent race results Caught by the cameras Race control So another year of motor sporting draws to a close. The major categories have completed their seasons with some of the closest racing seen in the final events. Perhaps the persistent fiddling with the rules and rewards systems is paying off. The F1 had everyone madly working out the various permutations by which their favoured driver could finish on the top step, right up until the last lap in Bahrain. Loeb took his seventh World Rally championship title in his home town of Hagenot, in France, with two events left on the calendar. However, the WRC still ended on a nail-biter with the rising Sebastian Ogier challenging a much more consistent Jari-Matti Latvalla and an impressively resurgent Petter Solberg for second place. With a very satisfying end to the season, we also bid farewell to the current class of WRC cars, which will be replaced with shorter wheel base, 1600cc turbo engined car in 2011. Citroen will run a DS3, BP Ford a Fiesta RS and Mini will provide a third manufacturer in selected events with its Countryman model. The V8s finished their season in Sydney at the Homebush Bay circuit and was again replete with carnage and position changes, right up until the final lap, where Shane Van Gisbergen ran out of fuel while running in first place, yet managed to coast across the finish line in in third.

  • Sydney NRMA 500 RACES 36, 37 and 38

    ROUND 14 - Sydney NRMA 500 RACES 36, 37 and 38 Homebush Street Circuit, Sydney Olympic Park, December 5-7 2014 The Homebush street circuit winds its way around the Sydney Olympic Park facility, originally built to host the 2000 Olympic Games. Five time series champion Mark Skaife helped design the race track, dubbed the concrete canyon. The 13 turns feature a mixture of fast and slow corners and a variety of track surfaces. Coupled with a less than smooth track and changes in the camber around the circuit make pulling o the ‘perfect’ lap dicult. The track also houses both the widest (Australia Avenue) and the narrowest (Edwin Flack Avenue) sections of track on the calendar. 2 1 85 90 3 km/h km/h 4 2nd gear 2nd gear Format: Super Street 75 Jim Bean Corner 70 km/h km/h Length 3.42km: 2nd gear 2nd gear Direction: Anti Clockwise Fastest point Average Speed: 139km/h 5 155 km/h 248 Gear Changes: 36 km/h 4th gear Full throttle 52 % of lap 6th gear 6 85 km/h Wilson Security Corner 7 2nd gear 90 km/h 2nd gear Slowest point Sydney Corner 67 km/h 69 Race 36: 125km (37 laps) Coates Hire Corner km/h 95 60 1st gear 2nd gear km/h km/h 10 11 Race 37: 125km (37 laps) 2nd gear 13 Fuso Corner 1st gear 12 8 73 Race 38: 250km (74 laps) 9 km/h 2nd gear 80 km/h Race Lap Record: Craig Lowndes (2011) // 1:28.3839 // Holden Commodore VE II 2nd gear NRMA Corner Quali.
