Re FAP Practice/Qualifying
The Vuko boys started getting serious at practice at Barbagallo today taking positions 1 & 2 . Vuko Snr went out & posted a 39.69s to take current pole from the Pole Adam Sloma. Then young Steven Vuko making his comeback to racing caused a sensation posting a blistering 39.54s lap. This young boy can drive!! Watch out for him in the race this weekend. The English & US drivers have been very quiet so far - can they match the pace of the Aussies??

Johnny Shell hit the track today in preparation for the upcoming FPA race at the Barbegello circuit in Australia.
The young (37) American's smooth style paid off at the fast circuit with Johnny turning in a fast lap of 40.87, good enough for 15th in the codemasters hall of fame. (thanks for the help Muz!).
Johnny did better than usual at this circuit because little breaking or throttle control is needed here. His background in american oval track racing leaves him pretty deficient in those areas as he's used to just being smooth and keeping the pedal to the metal.
He's not considered to be a podium contender because not only does he completely lack consistancy, but also because he is still over a second off the pace of the leading contenders.
But his respectable time in practice here will help satisify his sponsors, as he continues to work towards finishing in the upper half of the results in this, his first ever open wheel championship.
The lure of some of the world's best road courses inspired him to make the move to Europe last year, where he competed in the British GT series before being forced to drop out as his sponsors withdrew their support due to poor results.
He won the GT Cup race at the first stop of the championship at Donington Park, but hasn't been able to regain that form since. He has a steady girlfriend now however, and is more focused on his racing and less focused on partying and chasing all the beautiful European and Aussie women around.
He even hits the pause button now before lighting up, or opening a fresh beer, during a race."Approach racing like billiards - bash the ball too hard, get nowhere." Juan Manuel Fangio

Nice times Vukos!! Would like to say I've spent the last 3 hours challenging them but I bought Tourist Trophy today and spent my times throwing bikes (including the one I ride for real) down the road! Has any else got this game?? (Sorry this is off topic)

I got a 40.42
less than a second behind THE Peter Yuko on the codies HoF!
time for me to stop playing around and start to practice my race set up now though.
My turning that 40.42 is like a dart player who can throw a bulls eye like 1 out of 100 times. yeah, sure, it's a bulls eye... but if I can't do good laps consistantly then so what.
all I wanna do is finish in the top 1/2 of the grid!"Approach racing like billiards - bash the ball too hard, get nowhere." Juan Manuel Fangio
