Good job Dilantha. He beat some ex-F1, V8 Supercar and sportscar veterans to the pole at Sepang.

Unconfirmed reports from Coimbatore indicate that at least 2 of our guys have suffered terminal mechanical issues already, one car was late to arrive because the truck carrying it broke down on the way and apparently it is raining heavily. All the best to the boys though. I was told that this meet was being shown live on Ten Sports, because it is also a big regional meet but I'm not sure if this'll happen.

What? Rizvi wrecked his car? Is this the new red Sti8 he just got? He was just telling me about it when I was in SL last month and had me all sorts of drooling! F!

Reyaz 1st..AP 2nd..DJ 3rd next race at 5p.m

[KLM]

slt2005 those are the results of Race 2, this morning. DJ won Race 1 yesterday, followed by AP. This is when Rizvi crashed.

[slt200005]

my bad machung

[KLM]

Reyaz won Race 2 as well apparently.

[Silver]

Any clue as to who was 3rd on the grid and the rest of the results?

[slt200005]

Had any of the indians raced with our guys??any idea of the other placings??

[KLM]

The Hindu is carrying a story about the meet, but without much info on our boys. They haven't mentioned Saturday's race and have only listed the two races from Sunday, both of which were won by Reyaz.

slt, the Indians who were scheduled to run with our guys had bailed apparently, claiming that their cars weren't upto spec. Well they were only Group N cars to begin with, so they would have been well off the pace had they run.

The Deccan Herald has details on Satuday's events. Apparently Reyaz had set the fastest lap in Saturday's race. Pimp Status.

Nice pics GC. Please post more if you have any.

I believe that last picture was taken on the main straight, with the downhill braking zone, where Rizivi went off. Apparently they were topping out at just under 200 km/h because of the Grp. A restrictors. I think I saw somewhere that Reyaz had set a fastest time of 1:12 in one race and that's comparable to a good time set by the Formula Swift/LGB cars, which is either disappointing for the GT cars, or high praise for the 1300cc LGB cars.

Wow great pics Grand Civic!!

Any pics of Rizvi's car?

[KLM]

Notice how because this is an FIA-sanctioned event, all the boys are running their cars as neatly as possible, with lights, bumpers etc all intact? They look great this way.

[Velocity]

SUPER PICS GC.

nice to see our GT Drivers on indian soil.

I dont see any Indian Evos or Subarus. I am missing something.

[KLM]

Dimantha, the Indians all pulled out because their cars were in Grp N trim and therefore obviously much slower. I think this was discussed earlier in the thread.

[GihanFX]

Nice pics GC, pls post more
