People keep saying all the Japanes drivers will have had lots of practice on the track. Dose the track not have to be a "virgin" layout for the worlds. I know they would have practice on the surfface but will the layout not be changed?

yeah they will be quick, when we were talking to the panther guys last week to get practice tyres they told us yokomo have 5000 pairs of tyres and they have been there for a few weeks along with the HB crew.

IFMAR rules say the track has to change by 60%. The track over there has a few different layouts that can be used but the locals and Japanese drivers would have driven every corner thousands of times.

It will be like a superbike round at suzuka... still I am looking forward to driving on it and cant wait to fly out tomorrow!

Trhue is doing really good... so a Losi might just be TQ. Incredible first run he did...

He is in a good form with the Losi.
Hope he wins the hole thing to just prove losi still have it

Vik - "What are your thoughts on global warming?"

Jared Tebo - "I don't know, I don't really follow much of that. It would suck though if the day after tomorrow happened."

That's ace.

Vik - next interview, ask them if they get scared on high bridges.

So is Paul Bradby not a Brit too then? Lee and Paul both made the final and top notch to them to, fantastic!! A tough track and great drivers you cant complain. If the track was on grass the Brits would dominate the finals but unfortunately its clay.

Anyway I have to say the the Oople worlds report is most probably the best I have ever seen and will be hard to top. Well done guys on a great job and keep up the great work.

Good morning jimmy + lads. What’s the weather doing at the moment?

jimmy 13-09-2007 11:04 PM

WET - no marshalls today because its dangerous, marshall your own car.

Arn0 14-09-2007 04:10 AM

Nice job, Jimmy!
That always great to read some good thing.
Pics are ace, just expecting u'r back in UK for more pics.

jimmy 14-09-2007 06:27 AM

I'll revise my weather report since its roasting hot and sunny. The track dried up quickly and the very light showers early on didn't effect things.

I found that rather amusing as well, but even funnier that not many Losi drivers were in the A. Still the Kyosho made the A.
