According to unofficial results, DD and Sanjaya are 3rd in their class (Group N4). DD was catching up with the 2nd placed Nassib Nassar aggressively, but in SS9, they lost 2.5 minutes which gave Nassib Nassar some relief. It was fantastic to see DD getting to his usual rhythm in the later stages of leg 1 and 2 with fastest group N4 timing on SS10. Many congrats to the team for the memorable achievement !!

Rally starts at 11:46 local time (10:16 dubai time). You can follow all the cars as they progress via Google Earth. Waypoints and Place mark file for Google Earth is provided in the link given by S_N. (Updated per 30 sec) Good Luck to DD, GC and the crew

Update: My issue was actually with the Temperature sending unit to temp meter as Don mentioned. Old Temp sending unit has reducing temp sensitivity due to oxides, Replaced the temp sending unit at 1500/= and now temp meter working fine. Also checked thermostat operation by checking Radiator in and Out pipe temperatures and it seems to be working Ok.(Radiator out pipe heats up after some time in a cold start while radiator In pipe heating up quickly). Thanks guys for pointing out the direction

Thanks Amila G and Don. I'll start with the Thermostat and will post what caused the issue.

Guys, If the thermostat is missing won't the radiator fan be running whole time? My Car (99 Galant Diesel) is having same issue. i.e. Temperature Gauge shows about 1/4 of the scale even after long runs in traffic. When I checked the radiator Fan it is turning on/off regularly. Any Idea on the cause of the issue?

Hi Guys, Waking up this old thread to get some info on speed guns police are using on the southern expressway, I'm using an Escort Passport 8500x50 detector, which picks up X, K, Ka bands and lasers, I checked it few times on Southern EW, which did not alert at all. I was thinking whether cops have moved on to speed cameras. Anyone got more info on this?

Happy Belated Wishes GrandCivic!!

Thanks, But I saw Gamini Nelson on the grid position 2 at the 2nd race? Thought DineshD placed third on the first race

Care to share any updates on this? Only saw the SL-GT race 2 and was wondering what happend to Dinesh-D and Aravinda?

Guys, You can download WRC 2011 videos through this warez-bb link http://www.warez-bb.org/viewtopic.php?t=9303336&highlight= Please note, warez-bb.org has been inconsistent over the past few months, no idea !! Save the download links when that site is up

Skyline R33, Since you are in Australia, why don't you give a shot to Sixteen9 cinematography (www.sixteen9.com) AFAIK it is managed by a SL guy based in Austrailia, Saw some outstanding wedding shots in couple of their wedding clips. I too searched for a proper wedding coverage for my sisters wedding, and found about him. Couldn't get this guy coz the wedding was on Feb at SL. The big guy is Wasawa and heard he'll undertake weddings in SL from June onwards. Hope this helps

Thanks Miniace for the updates and very glad to see that EvoX serving DD right at last! Holding my breath for the race today !!

Die hard fan of Colin McRae DiRT series, DiRT 1 is awesome with great graphics and dust effects and so on with lot of simulation based handling, It has both gravel and tarmac rallys, cross overs, etc. Guaranteed playing time of 24Hrs. DiRT 2 on the other hand is more towards arcade style with Superior graphics but still far better from NFS type of games, you still can feel the cars. But it has only got gravel rallys, no tarmac rallys are available. In addition its got most of the American motor sports events as Baja and circuits like California. So DiRT 2 is focussed on the American market which means less for the WRC guys. In a nut shell DiRT 1 -> Evo IX and STI9, DiRT 2 -> Evo X and STI 10. Anyway you won't regret either of those.

Thanks all, With Aravinda getting full points for the two races, Gunners supercross SL-GT races will be the battle for the championship between AP, PP and DD who are having 45,44 and 41 points respectively.

Any news/results from the Gajaba Supercross which was scheduled today? Updates much appreciated

BBC & the Book publisher HarperCollins appeared on Court over a book that reveals the identity of Top Gear's The Stig. More info on BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11058504 and on Andy Willman's Blog http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2010...tig-he-is-ours/

Hi Bugatti, Can you please share this contact details, going to repeat the process in near future. Thanks in advance.

Can someone please share the results of the two Hill Climbs

Any idea on what happened to Sheran Fernando in the T&J Diesel event? I thought he came first, but Manjula Wijesinghe got the winner trophy for that event

Thank you Fuzzo, Seems like Aravinda's super-fox title is on the fence with Pasindu charging in this season .

Hi, Anyone got the qualifying results of tomorrow's events? Especially the Super-car event...

One guy's favorite quote was "which is very good" He was using that on 10mins basis , and also the Sinhala commentator once said "Yathuru dhawana pedi tharangaya" for the motorcycle event.
