V8 Supercar Rd 2 Eastern Ck Preview

[Peter Vuko]

Welcome to a new segment involving the V8 Supercar series for 2007. Before each Rd we will preview the up coming Rd. In this segment we will review where possible last years results & times & hopefully share how the cars are going in the lead up to the event, like what times you are doing in practice,problems encountered & set up advice for those who need it.

Last year we had 3 sprint races - this year that will not be the case. Peter Vuko in th Holden won the Rd winning 2 of the 3 races - Muz winning the other. The top 5 times in qualifying were:

Default Race:
1.P.Vuko 1m.06.75
2.Muz 1m.07.06
3.BobZee 1m.07.70
4.S.Vuko 1m.08.40
5.dcr22B 1m.09.00

Free Set Up Race:
1.P.Vuko 1m.05.46
2.Muz 1m.05.94
3.S.Vuko 1m.06.63
4.Homer 1m.07.17
5.BobZee 1m.07.18

At Adelaide we saw the cars much faster than last year, so more than likely the times will get better again although that qualifying time by Vuko Snr in the Free Set Up Race could be hard to beat. Lets keep the comments coming guys!!

I ran a very short practice here a few days ago but I managed a 1:07:20.

But I'm on a high after doing the 1:10 in the DTM that Vuko Snr said would be unlikely.

I have started practicing for the Eastern Creek round, and fiddled around with the set up, but just can't get the car sorted. I thought I would be able to get it all worked out, trying this and that, but have to admit that I am lost as to what to do. Can anyone suggest a basic set up that will at least give me a chance of getting it sorted. I put in around 50 laps so far, with a best time of (this is embarrassing) 1:11:25. Any idea's ?

[Peter Vuko]

Hey Maxu05 I will pm you a decent set up for the Holden. I have not put my car on the track yet - give me a few days!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I've found that the fuel load can really slow you down here. If you want do fast qualifying laps make sure you only have a few laps in the session .

[RALLY TEAM GB]

does anyone have a good setup for the fords?

my lap times are very bad to what you guys post...

my best lap time on Eastern Creek is around 1.10

Is there anyway you could tell me if I raced at this round last year? I would be interested to compare my times. I like Eastern Creek as a racing track but I always struggle with annoying AI drivers here, particularly at turn 2.
