I have to agree with red, wakefield is a good circuit, but it is too short and tight... I like EC because it has a good mixture of fast sweepers and tight turns, it is also longer, much longer. Best time at EC (fast sweeping track) is 1:58, best time at wakefield (slow tight circuit) is 1:16 I think? I think that EC is smoother too.

There is a track day at Wakefield on 27th June, see thread attached.

Exhaust, suspension, bleed valve ;)

I really want to try the Creek. See what she'll do on a track which is more suited to powerful cars. Wakefield is quite tight for overweight cars like Skylines. EC is a skyline track.

But the good thing about Wakefield is that it's cheap and safe.

Interesting, I prefer Wakefield because there's more emphasis on corner speed, if you want to drive on straights try drag racing:burnout:

Best at EC is 2.00.07, Wakefield 1.11

The key to a quick lap is always getting around the corners fast, and it sounded on the video like there was a traction problem. Try some better tyres and watch the times drop! My Wakefield times dropped 6 second when I switched from Falken borings to Dunlop Formula Rs.

I find E/C more exciting than Wakefield. Although I'm not finished with Wakefield yet, it leaves me wanting more. After a session at E/C, I can contain my frustration in the car for a month or so.

I still want to do Oran Park though...
