Advan Neova Cup Eastern Creek Leaderboard

Photo by: Matthew Everingham.

Advan Neova Cup welcomes Shane Standley’s Gorilla Industries Supra onto the Eastern Creek Leaderboard, setting a time of 1:46.1 . The 340rwkw Supra in mostly street trim will also be competing in this year Clubsprint class at the World Time Attack Eastern Creek .

“First time I have ever raced this car on street tyres at any track, and they really surprised me. I’ve always raced with R Compound rubber, and to be honest I really didn’t feel much difference between the AD08 and the A048 I usually use! The AD08 seem to just wear off a bit quicker. My times are within 0.5-1 sec slower on AD08. For a rwd making big power, I have plenty of traction! I have been attending track days for a few years now, never been in anything competitve, until 2011 WTAC Clubsprint class. Im keen to do well in the RWD class”.

Advan Neova Cup and Auto Obsession wishes him the best of luck and godspeed

Have you ever wonder what Mark Webber is like when his not been given team orders and told to stop racing and just follow his team mate Sebastian Vettel around the track?I have always wondered if all those year of living and racing away from his birth place would have an effect on him, like would he be more of tea drinking Englishman instead of VB beer drinking , sausage on the barbie , thong (flip flops) wearing Aussie.

Its safe to say that he is still a full blown bloody Aussie. ( more on this below )

New Impreza WRX to be powered by 1.6 turbo engine

by: Japanese Car Design Corner

Since the new-gen Subaru Impreza has been launched, Subaru is now working on the new WRX version. According to the latest rumours, the new WRX will be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, which will be capable of delivering 270 PS. The STi version will get an even more powerful version of the new engine delivering 300 PS.

The use of a 1.6-liter engine makes it also possible for Subaru to return to WRC and already, Ikuo Mori has said during the shareholders meeting on June 24 that a new sports car will be launched in 2014.
