Mitsubishi Evo almost coming off track...

[potato1]

i was up at mallala a few weekends ago and managed to get a shot of this blue evo 9 which took the corner a little fast and almost came to grief driving onto the shoulder of the track. Made a good photo op:

looks like the tire rim is on the ground.

I hadn't noticed that before, I think the ground sloped away from me a bit, hence the illusion of the rim touching the track.

jeez he's pushing it that's for sure!

edit:
goddamn evo's you're not supposed to overtake me on the warm up lap, i don't care if you're faster than me the rules still apply[/rant]

Your hosting site is offline, this is why we have the attatchment system.

We are back online. Anyways, for the record I think they are a very cool car. I assume they go up on three wheels because all the elctronic control sytems are keeping the car from understeering off the track. Plus they look tough and purposful.

i just hate them for overtaking me in the wet.
*cough and sometimes in the dry cough*

300mm f/2.8 @ f/16, 1/200s iso 100.

He looks like he turned out of clubhouse too late, a nice early entry is needed as the saw tooth curb unsettles the car big time

yeah the track cambers off there a fair bit, the guy should be over about 5 feet so he can straightline the esses, that side of the track will suck the car in for a spin because of the camber ( I know Ive done it).


Tim how did the Black RX7 go with the ADJUST number plates ?, its a mates car and he just got a new turbo, fuel upgrade, its a weapon.

I will see how I go, i will try and make it out there. If so i will keep an eye for your cars. The Rx7 looked very nice but I dont think it was running that fast. i think I read elsewhere that it may have been having mechanical problems on the day?
