Hello Fellow Racers,

After a fantastic day of tyre spinning fun in the sun at Eastern Creek Raceway the results are in for the EBC Brakes EC Motorkhana.

Firstly, the Avant / Estate Class which was won by Emma in her Saab 95...never knew a Saab could move that fast! With the absence of Ice Man and Bug Racer (who is leaking so much water from the S4 that it could have wet the skid pan without using the pumps) it was a clear win for Emma.

Emma is also the second woman this year to win their class – not only that, she was quicker than almost half the field!

The Hot Hatch class was up next with long standing battle between VW an Ford back on the table. Sean and Nemesis were back on track with two very mean XR5’s with Daniel and Trent flying the Flag for VW in MKV and MKIV R32’s.

It was Daniel in the MKV R32 who eventually claimed first (even after the hefty time penalties for having 4-Motion – 2nd overall too) With Sean hot on his heals just 2.4 points behind. Trent in the MKIV R32 put the pedal to the metal to claim 3rd with Nemesis finishing in 4th.

The Sports Coupe class though was where all the action was with David’s Audi TTS, Wazza’s Audi A5 3.2 FSI and Emanuel’s E92 M3 drawing in competitors and spectators alike...to say they look fast standing still is an understatement.

Even with the time penalties applied to the Audi’s for their ‘unfair quattro advantage’ it was 1, 2 for Audi with Warwick proving too neat and clean in the A5 claiming first with David only 1.8 points behind in the TTS – something that big and heavy defies logic in being able to change direction that quickly...well done Wazza.

In third place only a couple of points behind was Murry in the mighty M Roadster...he just had too much power to put to the ground in that light little coupe to keep up with the Audi contingent – next time Murry.

The Power to weight ratio point calculation came in to play to propel Ellis and Paul to 4th and 5th respectively - it was like watching two majestic ocean liners trying to negotiate and 18ft skiff race course...and yes reverse gear was used more than once.

Honourable mention goes to Mark in the current series Subaru WRX...if you weren’t able to see the driver you would have swore the Ken Block was in the car putting on a spectacular show of sideways 4 wheel drifting action that was impossible to match...is there a drive like a WRC superstar button in that car – check out the video footage of that!

On to the Bonus Prizes!

Fastest overall time over the four events was David in the Audi TTS - the EBC Brakes EC Motokhana Circuit Breaker - with a total time of 150.63 followed closely by Daniel in the MKV R32 on 151.73 and Murry in the M Roadster on 152.96...close indeed guys!

The title every wants though is the ‘STIG’ this time being awarded to Ellis in the BMW 635 C Si...just 0.537 points ahead of Paul also in a BMW 635 C Si.
