Toowoomba Skyline Owners

[olloSKYLINEollo]

Driving fast on bumpy roads with 4 yr old worn tyres.

She took the 1st (relatively sedate) run ok but the 2nd (more aggresive) run she started to understeer more and more with each corner. I chose to maintain my pace and understeered off the road and nearly plunged into a creek. Over corrected to avoid the creek and spun onto a gravel patch (luckily not a tree). The impact of hitting the gravel ripped my front lip off

Have done that road numerous times and have always driven within my limits. The one time I choose to be a noob and ignore the feedback the car was giving me, this happens...

I make no excuses for my lack of professional driving skills but I think a true pro would have chosen to not drive the car at that pace in the first place.

Yea she's OK with you guys. Her wish is that we perhaps tone it down a little.

Maybe now she'll let me spend a bit more for happy laps

Yes we will definitely tone it down next time. Got a little carried away and was having way too much fun actually driving the car instead of my usual puttering around. Happy Laps or karting in a couple of weeks time. Which ever comes first

Well, I really dont want us to tone down anything.

But as we discussed today at lunch, I might be attending future events in a totally new car (if all goes well) so toning things down will help me learn to drive said new vehicle without too many problems.

GTRs are beastly cars to try and keep up with

One of the guys here has been organising a few runs. Of late, he's been finding that people are getting into more and more strife. Looking further into it, it came down to him going on continuous runs and improving his skills and memorising the tracks. Other drivers were pushing themselves more and more and getting into trouble. Food for thought.

Glad you didn't get your butt kicked. The big question now is........ will she still let you come out and play with us?

She better, if not BBQs at Nicks place

Plus next one I should have the skevy on so toning down might be a good thing on its first full run down the mountain....

[t5iv]

If crucial parts fall out when the car corners, it can't corner.
