category 5 Cyclone has hit the island of Vanuatu.

Not many places to hide. Hopefully he has been evacuated.

Put the family in the GT3, with its aero, the downforce will increase the grip in case of strong winds

Stay safe and give us good news!

Macca is currently in LAX on his way back to NZ and then hopefully to find a way home to Vanuatu. Things are not good there - it is being reported as a worst case scenario. Property can always be replaced but friends & family are the most important consideration right now. I know he will be appreciative for your support but expect him to be offline for quite some time first while travelling and then through the aftermath & clean up.

Thanks for that update, Peter. Mark, we're thinking of you; I hope things turn out for the best.

Very best to you Macca, and of course to your family. These are far,far more important things than this forum. When things have settled, let us know how you are.
