Wrx Club Round 3 - Sandown

[Roy]

I don't agree with you saying that it's easy to make a slow car go quick and harder to make a fast car go fast. I understand what your trying to get across about reaching the limits of the car,.

Yeh so you know what im trying to say and it in no way was meant to take away from your time...

And yeh Sandown is a drag strip... you try driving my car and keeping up with any of you guys punching out 250+rwkws ...i know your pain all too well...you have to really concentrate on braking and corner speed.

I suppose my point was in light of other ppl doing great lap times i fear they may have been selling Jacks achievement short. It was his first day at Sandown, and thinking back its about 3 seconds quicker then a number of similarily modified GTRs on their first few outings...thats all.

....and anyway, since when did you ever read or listen to a single thing i have to say:)

Jack, what sort of top speed are you reaching?

Matt - Thanks man, your car looked awesome out there, from behind at least! Trying to keep up with you and Ray may be bad for my health... for now...

Jack - I'm hoping to get another second out of it with the same power, and I think I might have been able to do it if I hadn't have grabbed 5th instead of 3rd on every lap in my last session... woops haha

Everyone should be really happy with their times, and it was great to see everyones cars hold up, and no major incidents.

Thanks for the support everyone, made me feel really comfortable on my first track day, especially since I was a bees dlck away from losing my lunch before the first practice session! Was a really great experience, I've never had so much fun in my life than being out there, can't wait till the next one!

oh, and Ray, what kind of rear wing is on your car??

I agree mate. We all have to keep in mind that these days are meant to be fun and we shouldn't put pressure on people to punch out times. Sandown is a track that has claimed many Skylines, and i'm glad we didn't see that this time around. I must admit I feel more pressure at sandown, as people seem to use this as a benchmark and all the big cars come out to play.

I don't agree with you saying that it's easy to make a slow car go quick and harder to make a fast car go fast. I understand what your trying to get across about reaching the limits of the car, but at a track like sandown there is a lot of straight bits, and all these guys are pulling away from me fairly convincingly on the straight. At the risk of sounding stuck up, I had to work mega hard on my braking and corner speed to get a comparable time. I think without the oil on the track in the afternoon a 1.21.9 is possable.

You wanna try it on standard suspension.

I have no idea, one of those no brand Jap ones.
