Anyone else watching the Dunlop Supercar race.... power slides on reverse lock, swapping positions etc...

If you get bored watching F1, switch over for some entertainment!!!!

Live coverage most of the afternoon. :thumbup:

Boy oh boy did it rain. I was there all day Sat and Sun. torrents on sat thankfully cleared on sun.

I did wonder, hadn't seen you posting too much over the weekend.

Looks like an excellent circuit these days, lots of variation, corners and gradient. I'm thinking it'd be fun to do a track day there sometime.

Modello Park has certainly grown up since I was last there (1985).

I havn't been there myself for a few years either. They now have a very swanky pit garage complex built complete with reflective angled glass windows overhead to look down on the pits. Corporate dinners and such like up stairs! Not very Mondello at all.

It is a great place to watch racing as you can get real up close to the cars and drivers as they walk about behind the garages.

And I gat the car stuck in the car park. Ahhh the glamour of motorsport

Edit: Photos.

Seat in the pits:

Integra on the main straight

Lexus behind the pits having broke it's throttle cable, Driver still in the car!

The pits, not really the "pits" anymore.

Astras in convoy coming up to the first

This is where everyone had problems, First corner woes


And thats it really, have a few others but alot are blurred. The rain you must understand! And I forgot to re-charge the battery for Sunday. Idiot.
