Some of the pit action and track carnage from Saturdays 24hr event.

Thanks BAR-Honda Australia I’ve stolen your photo of the famous ever burning Subaru 😘

What a race that was!! 38 Cars battled it out at CARCO.com.au Raceway for the BEERS - Budget Extreme Endurance Racing Series 24hr race 2025. There was plenty of carnage and action, not to mention moments for people to hone in on their fire extinguishing skills.

Thanks to our wonderful team for making this race possible and enduring 36 hours of action with an hour or so of sleep:

A total of 779 laps were completed, coincidentally the same as last years 24hr race. Great work team!

Another race under the belt of the mighty 3.0 H6 Legacy… I’m happy to report my garage rebuild of the 6 speed survived the race with synchros intact.
During the start of the race the rear oem differential bushes collapsed dropping the diff and CV onto the hot exhaust. This resulted in a rapid loss of CV grease… not much could be done here so we just crossed our fingers and hoped it could survive another 15 hours of racing.
Unfortunately checking the fluids after the final lap found the radiator overflow reservoir empty and radiator level below the fins, even though it was normal a few hours before. Despite this, it drove back to it’s workshop after a quick top up.
Admittedly I think we are quite impressed with what this engine has done for us, coming into the racing life at 200K Km and completing a combined 1318km of hard racing at Collie Motorplex and 3756km at Carco Raceway. The previous 24hr race resulted in a decent loss of water due to a damaged hose, but it still powered through this race for us.
Will it give us another race!?

Let’s see what these cars can do!!

This morning we took the Subaru down for scrutineering in preparation for the next race. Which will entail 24hrs of non stop racing fun… assuming nothing grenades, incinerates or implodes we will be happy!! It will be interesting to try the car out at Wanneroo Raceway on Friday 28th - Saturday 29th June 2024.

Day 1: practice day is over.
A few gremlins have been dealt with. From a mystery accelerator pedal correlation fault, hopefully a simple recalibration solves this for now, but time will tell.
Engine temperatures were reaching 100c (10c higher than usual) when going over 6k rpm, most likely due to the warmer weather and the old thermostat that was restricting the coolant flow.
Quick fix Thermostat = 🚮
The boys worked on getting the suspension and tire pressures dialled in for the new setup. Great work fellas!
All the best to the teams out there, let’s have a fun few days! 🍻
