Where
Wakefield Park
With who
SAU NSW
Any pre-setup involved
I did a full brake flush... I think that's it...
Favourite memory of the day
Slowly pushing the car harder and harder before eating shit at the fish hook
Things you learnt; about your car, yourself or the track
Car
Stock R33 GTS-t seats EPIC FAIL at holding me in...
Standard cars hold their own on the track just fine
Changing from 4th to 3nd, under brakes, without any attempt at rev matching leads to compression lock up
Compression lock up isn't cool when you are doing 140km/h and not expecting it
Changing gears half way through a corner unsettles my car too much
Standard suspension is lol worthy
Slow, progressive trail brake oversteer is fun!
As fun as slow, progressive trail brake oversteer is it usually quickly followed by a fast and sudden tank slap into dirt... super soft spring rates ftw!
Self
I had (and still have!) a bit to learn
I am oddly competitive when on the track
Track
Wakefield > Old Pac
The ripple strips at Wakefield will usually send me into a slide
How much fun you had!
Well I go to the track about once a month now... if it weren't for track days, I'd be driving a R33 GT-R by now Do I regret it? Not a chance
