Big day today. 5.30AM alarm… I’m up! Luke got to his Media briefing on time and the day rolled on pretty hard after that with lots of dramas and some fantastic moments.

ardc_garage
First stop, the ARDC Garage for a toasted bacon and egg roll and a good chin wag with Photographer Matthew Everingham.

david_streetcar
Spotted from above. David’s R32, which is very much more a street car than a lot of the competition in his category.

rb26_david_dalrymple
After the early sessions David’s radiator shroud cracked, ripping it off was the easy fix.

s14_turbo
The Heasman Steering S14 had some heat issues, the team were at it fast. Indy’s EVO had issues too, with the driver having to keep 4th pushed in (IE: otherwise it would pop out and thus driving one handed when in 4th gear!). The gearbox eventually blew.

Shout outs to Nathan Antunes, pilot of the Heasman Steering S14.

Haha, Brad and Sarah, exaggerated height difference!

splitter_r32gtr
Dave’s new splitter created enough downforce to rip the front lip off his car. Desperate measures to get him out for one more session.

pressuresheet
Under pressure.

On pitt lane for the last session, finishing strong too.

Steven Planinic ready to go out in his EVO.
