RVSC24 R04 Bosch Power Tools Perth Supersprint

[GTRMagic]

#88 and/or #87 by how far?

Will #1 show the goods at ‘home’ ?

What way will Tickford and/or its pilots find to underperform this weekend?

What will WAU do to their setups or put activity to keep them out of victory lane?

Will Garth’s protege show speed?

Where is David Thexton…?

These answers and more in about 19 days..

[Kingair]

Five months into 2024, and this will be meeting number 4!

Will Mr Mostert step up onto the top step of the podium?

The Wild West can also throw a few curveballs!

[GTRMagic]

New branding for Erebus for Perth…

[Sandgroper]

Going for a peak tomorrow

[dirtymacca]

I was of the impression that TFH Hire were going to be major sponsors of the Brodie #1 car for the rest of the season.... Not much branding on the car for Perth.

Is another sponsor not satisfied with the EREBUST affiliation?

That thought crossed my mind.... it's certainly much reduced TFH signage over the previous livery. Just a few Secondary sponsor sized stickers and a windscreen strip.

Looks more like a 'throwback' livery to their sponsor lacking days

The releases were clear, the TFH Erebus title branding was for 3 rounds..
The latest release said the brand was staying on the car, not that it was title sponsorship..

Hence the homage to the black Benz race winner, largely unsponsored..

I stand corrected.....
It is a bit confusing given the big noise about such a small sticker on the car!

Some of these media bods can’t even regurgitate a press release properly

[Sandgroper]

No crowd today, getting less and less on Fridays now, will be interesting to see how it pans out over the weekend.

I remain curious why WA Tourism dont get active to ensure the AFL fixture in Perth complements the V8's & promote the weekend to sports fans that travel.


There are plenty of fans of both sports & there are plenty of different time slots in AFL fixturing.

The West Coast Eagles played Melbourne Demons on the Sunday, same time as the sunday race but I understand your reasoning for sure

[Ares]

Another looooooonnnngggg wait till the next round. Just feels like watching grass grow at the mo.

[GTRMagic]

What an upside down qually sesdion..

Erebus isn’t running so well.. puts Mr Hazelwood’s early season speed in context…

[GTRMagic]

Congratulations to Mr Mostert & WAU!
Master class in winning by the slowest possible speed!

Mr Wood was seriously quick also..

[Kingair]

Mr Mostert does make it onto the top step.

Are the mustangs more suited to fast flowing tracks where acceleration out of slow corners isn't such a big factor?

They are more suited to drivers who don't step on their dicks every time they get out front.

You really need to wake up to yourself.

[GTRMagic]

And the Wanneroo track does it’s level best to wreck another otherwise serviceable race car or two

Mr McLeod is lucky not to be seriously injured
WOW!

Leave the Wanneroo track alone blame the guy who boned him, be it sand, gravel or grass you could get the same result.

Sorry GTR, can't blame the circuit for that shunt - car contact on track was the cause.

The driver caused the incident (MA hasn’t decided which one yet )
Yet you can’t help but wonder if the wall was up closer to the edge of the track, would the steering wheel attendants not be so excited to push people off the circuit..

Tricky to have a wall though the infield (on driver's right, where the crash occurred) as there is an alternate circuit layout there and in any case, the large runoff is still less damaging to "hit" than a wall is.

I honestly don't think there'd be much to change for the circuit (although no doubt the circuit & MSA will look at the shunt & for any lessons) but there isn't much a circuit can do about a driver's red mist descending.

I am not sure it's Mr Murray's first unintended accident either..

What has me interested is if V8Supercar uses the incident to show a government that a street race will somehow be safer... if somehow less spectacular... to promote investment in the Fremantle Grand Prix
