Hi Cookie

Thanks for the update sounds like your enjoying yourself over there.

As 414 said who is the quickest Aussie?

If you get a chance Cookie try and give us an update everyday of the Gos and results over there?

Cheers

Crap the 415 must b good...but not as good as the 414?......hey the tc3 is still good.....isnt it the oldest chassis there....and it still won!

well done all the aussie guys.....how did you end up in the finals?


I suppose i better get a mazda 6....or just go back and get the stratus 2.0



Barry was surely ahead......his fastest lap was many tenths of a second faster than most of the rest.


lets see the pics and the stories.....when you guys are right.....

Its amazing, you would think a car bought out in the middle of 99 would be totally obsolete approaching the start of 2004...obviously not….makes you think what the research, the exotic materials and the fancy crap used on modern touring cars today are really worth. Remember, when the TC3 came out, there were no other shaft drive touring cars...so they started this whole shaft drive thing, and pretty much changed the touring car scene. Hopefully associated are working on a new touring car, tc4?, cant wait to see what they come up with next! (after all the tc3 cant last for ever! can it?)

little of topic....

well done to the guys in Bangkok...Painys got his second taste at an international racing level at only 20 years old, good work

well actually there were two shaft cars.... the Tenth Technolgies - Predator, and Tamiya TA01/TA02. The Predator drivetrain was the influence for the TC3, luckily AE and the late Ron Paris solved some of the issues and came up with a good car.

Fact is the TC3 is still a great chassis, but it's damn boring now and most people like to have cars that inspire them even if it's not better than a TC3.

The only reason Associated would make a new TC would be for economic reasons....

it doesn't need to be improved.....why bother if you can win then leave it until you don't win....just make it pretty in the meantime with blue bits

I bet if surikarn used the 414mII he would have beat barry's TC3......(again)....



come on Aussie racers are you even back yet??

One big point about the TC3. No hotups!!!!!!!!!! Buy the kit a one way and it's game over.

Look at other cars out there, talk about searching for speed with hot ups, or is it just a way to make money. One thing for sure the TC4 is sitting on a shelf just waiting, like the B4 did for 10 years LOL.
