Sandown - Sun 31 Aug - Sau Vic Club C/ship - Rnd 6

[Do-Luck]

Entry faxed. Hopefully the weather holds up.

[Russman]

Hmmm. Didn't think about the weather. I just read that there are no refunds after 29th...

C'mon Matt. We'll have fun regardless. Might have to flick the switch!

[Italiazr1]

rain hail or shine im in....

who cares corners at 90 degrees are fun..

only problem is my car wil get dirty again after i just washed it

[femno]

HAHA 260 with a RB20 you will be having fun lol...

Of course its always fun, I might come down for a look-see Russ...see how I go.

[Do-Luck]

Gonna have to give this a miss, I'm still struck down with the flu, and I doubt I'll have it shaken off before tomorrow

[Italiazr1]

man cant believe it i got the flu too.. started on thursday but im still gonna try get up going to the chemist now too soldier on its knocked me out for three days so far

[Do-Luck]

I'd love to try and soldier on, but I don't think I'll be in the right capacity at trying to handle a car at speed, considering I'm often feeling light headed.

I was looking forward to tomorrow too

[shepo]

that really sucks, of all the times for it to hapen, it hapens now.

just a quick question though, im just running my every day street tyres tomorrow, whats a good pressure to set them at for the day?

[Italiazr1]

me the same also...

just about to check all my tyre presure's too

i was just gonna run what i do for every day use but maybe drop just a little ??

hey do you think it is better to use an octane booster in the fuel for track day's too??

[shepo]

cant hurt to run octane boost, i do. if not for extra power, it will burn cleaner.

I run normal street tyres on mine (275/35r18) and I find that around the mid 30s cold I tend to get a lot of understeer. High 30s low 40s cold seems to be the best so far.

[Russman]

I'm looking forward to it. Looks like it might be a bit wet.

[shepo]

i might give that a shot, i spose its better to start with a higher pressure, then i can just let air out accordingly until it feels right. might be a bit different in the wet though...

[Downforce]

if it's raining put your tyre pressures up, and soften up your suspension and swaybar settings

Thanks mate, had a bit of fun out there today, especially in the end when the track was wet again! Looking forward to seeing the video footage my mate was taking.

Lots of quick cars out there today. I did a 1.26.4 which was way better than I was expecting, first time I've been timed at Sandown. Really happy with how the car went, but still has a bit more to go to be competitive with the other GT-R guys.

[flyingfridge]

We (group 1) were really lucky to get that dry session after lunch, managed to get a 1'27.1. Really happy with that for a first time being timed at Sandown, just a shame there weren't more dry sessions!

[Z1LLA]

Heres some video footage from today that a mate of mine took, has a few SAU cars on there:

[FC3S 13BT]

Came down and had a squizz, some very nice cars out there today!

A lot of sideways action heading onto the main straight!

[Italiazr1]

well i found out that having stock breaks and street tyres in the wet are terrible to race in...

lol i found it hard to even keep it straight while down gearing.

sorry if i held any of you guys up at all i tryed to stay out of the way as much as possible.
