Another great event at the Bathurst 12 Hour this year and although the constant rain made it difficult for taking shots, it certainly made things interesting on the track as well as a good backdrop for photos.
Of course the lower light meant running the ISO a little high and dropping to a fairly low shutter speed, really need a bigger lens!

HSV have just released their latest model the GXP and it is aimed at an entry level HSV for the weekend racer. A cheaper alternative with the basic Commodore tail lights for example to keep the costs down.
When I first heard about this car it sounded like a great concept, but then the more information I read about it, more boring it sounded. You buy a HSV because you either you want something unique or you want real race inspired performance. All this car seems to be is a unique car, built for the masses.
If you are going to take stuff out of a car, then at least strip some weight out! My impression of a true club level racer is something that has all the non essentials taken out, chuck in a roll cage, some harnesses, bonnet pins and tighten it up some more.
Perfect examples; 911 GT3 RS, Renault Megane R26R, Aston Martin
Come on HSV, bring out a real Club-Sport!

Got to drive a V8 Supercar (almost) around Oran Park last month, just got the DVD in the mail. Really really really want to go racing again now! 
Jim Beam Racing like most teams are getting onto the digital social thing and their Youtube channel is a pretty cool example of doin’ it right.

Giving something back to their fans by talking about things that are happening in the team, technical information about the team and the cars.
Not just another business trying to use social networking to just push advertising out, but giving something back to their viewers and fans.
Good stuff DJ!
