Yeah from memory I did a 1.51 with Al in the car.

They weren't overly happy about it. But I maintain PI is a funny track in that a "safe" lap isn't that much different to a fast lap because most of the corners are long sweepers so you are just maintaining throttle. There isn't much in the way of super late braking at PI so there isn't much time to be saved in that area.

Anyways - I just know it's easier for me to just not take passengers at PI any more.

how are the Maserati days... do they usually get the full quota of cars? will an ugly silver whale be shunned in favour of all things fast red and Italian? (ie are they a good natured bunch or are they a bit serious)

I want to get back to Sandown and see if I can't better my PB, good fun and so close to town compared to other tracks...

HSV Owners club is at PI on the 15th Oct, must be the one Snowy is going to....

I was at P.I. on Saturday with the MSCA. A great day, good weather and no issues - apart from dodging oil from old Alfa dungers.

Ripped a 1.52 with a best theoretical of 1.51 if I ever get turn twelve right.

Regards

I heard something about there being a "slow group" at calder?

If thats true, i'll be considering popping my track day cherry, and I know there's another 2 that are in the same boat as me

dezz- there is 'driver training' for those who haven't been on track days before, basically you get somebody showing you the race lines on the track at a safe speed... Obviously your driving with the instructor in the passenger seat....

Does that happen on the day, or you just mean a seperate event altogether?

If me and these 2 other first timers were to do calder, We could just move out of the way for the faster guys I guess...

Yes it happens on the day, but you will be in a different group, obviously with other newbees...

That way you don't have to watch out for 'faster' cars trying to get past you...

A big "Well Done" :P to Aaron and the Stig for their first and second placing in the Skyline class over at my stomping ground at the WRX Club.

While Ben waives the wand, you still have to put them 'round the track. I'll be looking for a tow around the track next year as well boys.
