Phillip Island - Sun 11 April

Yeah, would have been good to see you guys on the track more. Was good to meet some of you nonetheless. See you next time.

+1, only 1 lap for session 3 (group 4) was a bit of a downer, but no-one came unstuck on the day and at least the last session was dry

[emts]

and at least u all kept dry..

out at the flag points not so lucky!

that said did get a bunch of photos should be up later this week when I'm done with the deca videos!

oh and clive very nice slide from turn 2-3...

I convinced Chris to come on the weekend. Don't expect anything special from either of us though. We are just coming for a fun session and to do some laps.

Neither of us is really interested in going balaistic anymore. It's just nice to get out there and have a good time and PI is such and awesome fun place to drive around.

I can't wait

Err, well done to Chris on the PB We all knew you guys were sandbagging.

RESULTS

Well done Grass eater! how many sessions in the dry were there?

Im yet to see this m3 of Markovs.. 1.42 is bloody quick.

First up a big thanks to the volunteers

Wow what a mixed bag weather wise from hail to sunshine in about 10mins Overall I had a good day, considering the mixed weather, large entry list etc I managed to equal my PB of a mid 1.49.

One thing I will add is the point that some drivers ignore the blue flag trying to keep a faster car being them, only to end up in the kitty litter - what is the point? Secondly, what is the point of a slower car staying on the racing line in a corner, waving through a faster one by pointing to the outside of a corner - sure it can be done on some corners but certainly not southern loop or the turn up lukey heights

Congrats to Chris, nice to meet you Luke and sorry to hear about the dramas that others had.

Ps the SM m3 is a work of art - think of the condition of the R32 gtr just in bmw clothes

I did a track day and didn't break anything.

Thanks, Martin. FWD in the wet is just totally good fun. This was the Lancers first track day ever so was an eye opener.

Loved the minis! now there's a real FWD performer (I presume they are also FWD)

And a big thanks to all the officials and volunteers on the day out there in the wet

Also those spectating at Honda Hairpin, miles from any shelter, were not very lucky. They would have been more lucky if they'd brought their poncho with them, which they thoughtfully brought to the track, then left in the car.

Photos of Skylines and others in this album at Phillip Island Album. Add me on Facebook if you want, just mention you're from SAU so I know you're (probably) not a dirty old man.

Drift.....hmm bet there was some serious pucker factor with that drift out of the sweeper. (was just in front of me...)

[ssxRicho]

out of the 4 times ive been to PI, its hailed 3 of those times...

lol at the crazy happenings on the day. weather, oil, flagies, weather, crazy mofo drivers

great pics out on southern loop .

im loving this one.

oh, thanks go to the crazy flagies.

this sums it up.

[krzysztof]

yes indeed flaggies sure deserve a mention the day wasn't gonna happen unless we coughed up some volunteers.

also thanks to martin (emts) john (richo) and others for givin me a hand with my car and chris (scotsman) for driving me home.

ended up gettin back there about 10:30 that night with a trailer... luckily the torrential rain held off but it was pitch black and f*cking gale force freezing wind.. took us about 40mins before we had the lip off and the car on the trailer - lets just say it wasn't exactly pleasant... haha

the track is simply amazing. i can not wait to go back there again.

pretty happy with 2min flat for my first outing there hopefully next time my testicular diamater will have increased for turn 1.

[NickR33]

that's not good, what did you break?... although I can probably guess lol

that's a great time Scotsman punched out, well done!

can't wait til I get back from europe and am allowed out to play again... I miss scaring the crap out of myself and breaking things hehe
