Yeah - I drive a silver R32. I will have to have a look at what speeds I am on other parts of the circuit. The software isn't on this computer.

I run the state series primarily with the occasional national event (Went to Bathurst this year but would never go back. They just give you no track time) I run #31.

thats cool Ryan.. i help out number 42

i have seen your car at every event but couldn't make out who it was!

how was bathurst in the FF - did you have to lift the car at all?

will catch up with at round one next if not on a cruise before hand!

Duncan:

You talking car speed or wheel speed! If you looked at my wheel speed on entry to turn 2 compared to on exit you'd think I had 1000rwkw :flower:

Unofficialy I've run about 1:13 when folowing Daz around, but I wasn't happy with the pads I was running at the time and hope to go quicker on the 1/11. I've also got some half decent road rubber to use this time compared to the junk I was running last time.

hahaha Poakey....try 3rd gear coming out of there instead, wheelspin problem solved, and you don't have to worry about a gear change while coming out of the sweeper :D

New tyres will help heaps...but I think you will find that brakes just slow you down :P

Duncan:

3rd gear just means I need to hit the handbrake earlier and carry more speed into the corner otherwise I bog down on exit and the car straightens out!

fatz:

If borrowing a friends car is instantly worth 10km/h, then I ought to take a hire car for the day. I could blow straight past the 1:10 barrier and aim for some 1:08's!

Not to mention that if we all got the same stock rentals we could have an awesome control class! Any takers?!

Bathurst Was a nightmare. We got treated like crap. The first pratice session we got 4 laps and qualifying we got 5. Race 1 got reduced to 3 laps with one behind the safety car. The 2nd race was only 7 laps with another 2 behind the pace car. Some of the driving was pretty bad - but on the other hand they give young drivers 9 laps to learn a track like Bathurst and dont expect carnage.

If the V8's are running at an event I wouldn't enter. They dont mind taking your money but give you sweet F.A. in return.

We didn't have to lift the car at all. Didn't bottom out anywhere. I will see you at the track sometime

yup mx5 challenge

costs 120 bux for the day

Pete, where can I rent the MX5 from for that much? Do they limit k's (it's a long way to goulburn and back... Plus will they pass you through scrutineering in a rental ok?

    • It’s not driver training though, it’s just an online questionnaire and $65 
    • Almost certainly no. In Vic they have this crazily restrictive set of rules for mods that is usually interpreted as "no more than 2 modifications to the intake system". And they're not real hot on upgraded turbos at all, let alone high mounts. That means if you fit a bigger (particularly front mount) intercooler (which is, of course, almost impossible to go without) then you're already down to one other mod allowed. You'll really benefit from hearing from someone from Vic who knows the real state of play. Even better, speak to an automotive mods certifying engineer from Vic. You can actually read the rules from the govco websites yourself, too.
    • Well, I'm not clicking on a link to f**king bookface (never have, never will), so I can't really know what the complaint here is about, but.... There's nothing particularly wrong with forcing people to have a higher license category to drive super/hypercars. Note that the laws are not about modified cars - only listed standard cars, because there are not supposed to be cars modified enough to meet the law's category limits anyway. If you have a modified car that falls into those power limits you're already in trouble anyway. What is wrong is the bullshit on-line "test" to get the upgrade, instead of any actual work and training.
    • Meh Don't have Facebook anymore but watched a YouTube about it, they also talked about them not being able to use and "sports" modes, not really sure how they would enforce that apart from logging the Db for the cars that have exhaust valve activation in sports mode Apart from all the high end sports cars and supercars that make the sort of power they are talking about standard, I cannot see it bothering anyone else, unless of course road side tests now include having a dyno and scales on site to test the power output vs weight What is it? 500hp per ton? And if the only additional cost is $60 or so, as the video stated, I cannot see that being a war stopper for the people that outlay a few hundred thousand dollars on a performance car In fact, I see it would be a ego boost for some, because they have a "special" drivers licence for a "special"person with a "special" car And if I did have a modified car that made over the limit, there's no way in hell I would apply for a "special" licence, I could see the authorities checking your licence against your rego, so if old mate applied for a licence, but owns a, say, R33 Skyline, that may trigger an inspection of said car as to why, and how, that old mate has a R33 that would fit the bill of making over 500hp per ton Again, meh, not something I believe will be a real issue to 99.9% of people
