SOLLLLLLLLLLLLD

Sure enough, Hamilton retirement rumours are now all over the place ?

Hamilton surely up for retirement soon? Who would want to come back after that?

Now that Honda is gone, will be interesting to see how the redbull car goes with a new engine

So….seasons over, we have a new champion.. but what’s everyone’s thoughts on how the FIA/Michael Masi etc have handled everything over the last few months?

I personally think Masi’s sporadic decisions during the last few laps had massively gifted Max a race win and really took a bit of shine off of his maiden championship. 

Wins a win. But yep absolute ballbag. 

look I know this is gonna be massive, but I can't come ?

Round 2 featuring yours truly in P5 in race 2! Choked and died on the first lap though!

I was pretty stoked to see DRic get up there, thought he'd choke but what a champion.

For a solid 10 years, Shane and I were close mates; running this joint and talking most days on good ol' MSN. It was devastating to lose communication with Shane over the years with his medical problems taking away his abilities to communicate with us, and even more devastating to hear of his passing. 

He was always up for a good laugh, but also always kept the community honest. CB (and IDR46) were his life and I'll forever be grateful for his time spent enjoying his passionate with all of us. 

lol what haven't they been there for years?!?!?

Yep. Of all the Kart tracks in SEQ Xtreme is my favourite by far.

I love turn 6 (high speed left hander) as you can take it flat with the right approach. Gotta be committed though as if there are people going slower you can have a moment if your not careful.

from memory that corner is a bit dusty also? but getting a good run out of the first hairpin, into the next few corners and then making that big sweeping left hander is by far one of the most rewarding parts of that track. the last few corners before you get on the straight weren't really strong for me from memory, and the few races I did there I always lost position to people drafting behind me.

I love the high speed of the track, from the start through to the first hairpin is a bloody awesome rush. After that there's a few really nice sweeping turns that you can take pretty flat from memory.

Oh what that's shit, I have been wanting to go back to get the advanced license!!! Got the times, just not the houra ?

Every now and then I jump on CarSales and look at S15's and shit myself at how expensive they are now; I bought mine in 2005 for $23,500, when I sold it the market price was only $12,000 for a bone stock S15. NOW, they're all asking for about $40,000 plus.

Had a quick look today and just found this one

Hey everyone,

If you're keen to help out with re-launching Cruising Brisbane, I've got a bunch of jobs in mind; please put your hand up if you're interested

• Photographers - go to events and post photos up here.
• Tech Discussion - write up how to articles on anything related to car ownership, basics of car maintenance, cleaning/detailing, troubleshooting issues, etc. Also help users who post car related issues in the tech discussion forums.

Shoot me a message if you're keen to help out.

Hey everyone, and welcome back! 

We're 20 odd members strong already ? Next stop, 10,000+ like the old days!

I want to hear your feedback on how you think Cruising Brisbane should be run, what you'd like to see here, and if you're keen to help out. 

What was great about the old days, and what's great in the car scene now?

Any and all suggestions and feedback wanted! 

Had a bloody good battle in my race last night around 54 min mark. Good coverage from simspeed!  Ultimately lost out when the bloke I was battling pushed me up high and I had to back off and lost too much speed
