AWESOME...So happy for him ;) A lot of time and effort has gone into that thing.

I take it he was running at the 95dB Maserati day. Hmmm, EPA ruining track days :D

Nope, Maserati club was at Winton today.

I thing it was a holden/ford club day where 1:30's is fast... :happy:

It was a Marque Sports Car Club day. Similar times though as it's mostly pre 80's stuff.

i cant afford semi slicks at the moment, and i just cant run on the streeters any more. You saw how munted they were after just the one session i got in last time, blisters galore! now the suspension and wheel alignment is bangin', the poor old federal's just cant keep up! :rofl:

I've run 1.23's Sandown and 1.52 at PI with 280rwkw on hankook streets and have done about 4 or more track days with heaps of laps and a couple deca's and there still 80% left. You might have scored a dud set of tyres. Where had they blistered in just one session? You should have no problems running steets. I would be confident with a low 1.22 at Sandown and a 1.50 at PI on street with under 300rwkw if I had more experience and some good pads. Still got std $30 pads in the rear not helping me.

Russ whats up with the car. Hope its not to bad!

Nice work by Newton. Good to here its getting close to the times its built for.

Hankook evo S1. They have copped a hammering and still look good. They have started to go hard but their not to bad for a few years old worth of driving (excluding the time the car has sat in the shed recently) and the amount of heat cylces they have been through. I'll still use them until their dead. I would recommend them for the price. Not the cheapest or most expensive but they have lasted.

That's what I've got on now...Good to hear they shouldn't give in on the track with a bit of power, and I definitely wouldn't be pushing as hard as you would've been if I do happen to make it to a track day in the future..

Ao fark! What do you mean all smashed up? :rofl:

Hit a wall yesterday at winton drift day. On the left before the old turn 1.

I'll post some pics when I get em.

Not too bad damage but you don't have to worry about the little crack in my bar now haha. I hit front left.

Not too unhappy about it. I've had a good run.

I was able to get home by making the car a non turbo cos the cooler was destroyed.

Those EVO S1s are remarkable. I just drove on those at the Nurburgring. On a 95% dry track they were incredible.

The owner of the rental car, Theo is some sort of super nutter. He took me for a drive in the rain (pissing) and the entry speed and corner speed in the rain on those tyres completely blew my mind.

I'm gettting those next for the GTR...

Cheers fellas,

Yeah got kicked off cos my bonnet was lifting off, too much noise and apparently I was drifting not grip driving lol that couldnt be anything further from what I was trying to do. It was a 75db day so I guess it was always going to be a short sesion lol. This was by far the most intense drive of my life. The car still wants to kill me but now it just goes faster. Got a good idea of some small changes to make to make it eaiser to drive but as Jack said there is definatly a fair bit more in it. Im just glad ive restored Brisbys faith in RWD's and given him enough material to give the GTR guys hell :) It also great that the car is finally at a point that I have been trying to achive. Development wont be going much further, just looking forward to paying for fuel, tyres and learning a heap.

Huge thanks to Benno for screwing together a awesome bit of machineary and Scotsman for working on the car with me Saterday night so that I could get to the track. Fuel system didnt miss a beat thanks to you.

Here is the vid

Greg Alcock was in a Lotus Exige with a turbo honda motor. Had no idea he was going that quick till I got home last night.

With the changes you have made to the rear end i was expecting it to be more subtle, but no, its still bonkers. congrats on the 19! so what do you think it has in it?? it will be interesting to see what a wing does for corners like turn 1.

i wont be surprised to see you knock many seconds off. Real wheel drive FTW!
