Thai Super Car Rd 5/6 Bira: Aug 22, 2010: Super Car Pit & Paddock Views
Over the weekend the Thai Super Car series returned to the Bira International Circuit for the third round of the year. The championship, which sits firmly at the pinnacle of Thai motor sports, was also visiting the track located just 15 kms inland of the city of Pattaya for the third time this season. This weekend's action though came with a big twist as it would feature a unique headlining "showdown" as the regular Thai Super Car runners would go head-to-head with a gaggle of "big beasts" shipped over from the New Zealand V8 championship for the occasion. This is the first round of the Thai Super Car series I have made it to this year due to clashing commitments and most notably, in a sweeping change, the usual mix of faces and cars has been joined by six machines and drivers from New Zealand that provide immediate and abrupt diversity. The half-dozen Kiwi cars range from an early Dodge Viper GTRS with its massive 8-litre V10 engine, full-on silhouette spaceframe racers, including FIA GT1-specification machines, and a "touring car" Ford Falcon (a production derived car built for the NZ V8's series' own "Super Car" class which caters for Falcon and Holden Commodore racers) - all big brutes and all built for sheer straight-line speed. These no-nonsense racers would undoubtedly be blindingly quick when unleashed on Bira's multiple straights and high-speed sections but would most likely scrabble for grip in the turns (particularly the descending hairpin) and so the Thai Super Car drivers would be set to come into their own on the track's multiple tricky "technical" sections. The showdown looked to be perfectly weighted on paper. Qualifying would become all the more important, a good grid position would be everything. The six-strong New Zealand contingent was made up of (in competition number order): Wayne Conder (#46 5.8 V8 Chevrolet Camaro), Malcolm Udy (#55 8.0 V10 Dodge Viper GTSR), Cameron Jones (#69 twin-turbo Mazda RX 666), Grant Leigh Brennen (#70 5.2 V8 Chevrolet Corvette BR2), Andy Greenslade (#96 6.0 V8 Jaguar XKR) and finally the "production car" derived racer of Craig Collis (#100 5.0 V8 Ford Falcon "Super Car"). Meanwhile amongst the regular Thai Super Car runners the Japanese brands - as ever - dominated the entry list kicking off with the two red-and-silver Team Arto-run Toyotas, joined this weekend by a third entry which appears to be at a slightly lower spec although this machine didn't make the track action. There was the usual numerical dominance of Subaru's Impreza and Mitsubishi's Evo, both on the track in a bewilderingly array of development levels. Most eye-catching of these is the red-and-white Pizza Company Subaru Impreza of rapid Dane Thomas Ralsdorf, his team has slowly been getting to grips with this complex race car and he has been working his way steadily toward the front ever since acquiring the machine mid last year: he planted the Impreza onto it's first pole for yesterday's opening race of the double header weekend. Raldorf however suffered brake fade in the race but is on the front row today and looking forward to the action. I'm only here for the Sunday action, the climax of the weekend, and the pressure has been stoked after Saturday's first race saw the Thai Super Car drivers teach the New Zealand contingent a lesson as the experienced face of Nattavude Charoensukhawatana (#39 Toyota Altis) stood on the top step of the podium after the 25-minute race, just 0.911 seconds ahead of the quickest of the Kiwi drivers, Grant Brennan in the striking-orange #70 Corvette. Nattavude's team-made, Nattapong Horthongkum, made it two Team Arto Toyota Altis' on the podium as he followed the American "muscle car" over the finish line less than half a tenth adrift with the top-three covered by under a second. It was just the "showdown" that the organisers had hoped, and it was 1-0 in the "home" contingent's favour - and set the stage nicely for today's final race. That ferocious lead battle had left everyone else reeling: fourth place went to Chonsawat Asavahame in the pretty black-and-yellow OMP Mitsubishi Evo IX but he was 44 seconds off the Nattavude, who also claimed the fastest lap of the race, while fifth went to the second New Zealand V8 racer, the Ford Falcon of Craig Collis. Pole sitter Raldorf slid down the order but hung on to collect sixth place. Sixteen cars had started the race.
