Lakeside Laps ver.2 - Jan 22, 2012. $25

[Tarmac]

and who did you find to be your passenger?

A mate is up from Adelaide.

Who was the kid in the white mk2 (from memory) it is VERY important that he is at this event. It was so funny watching him body roll with 1 wheel in the air and things going everywhere. It was so good to watch i didnt want to overtake him.

All i remember was a little blue beasly R that lapped me But it wouldnt suprise me, i wasnt really keeping track. Im sure lots of people did Both of those polos and that Tiguan really did hammer!

Fixed that for you

[Ben J]

it was that silver polo that lapped you wasnt it...

Have a safe one guys, I'll be very envious on sunday morning (except I'll be sitting in singapore )

hahaha i remember you now! Both you and Anthony passed me at 120km/h on the straights. I was thinking, how could those little Polos pass my Mk6 GTI!

haha. My first time at lakeside (with a stock polo) doing sprints I couldn't keep up with a stock vw caddy, I think it was a diesel too. Much respect to that guy, he was pedalling that thing exceptional well. Speed will come with more time out there.

Maybe if you ditch your back seats, spare tyre, run half a tank of fuel you might have a chance

At the last one I would have had the least powerfull (although im not sure what power that mk3 tdi made, i doubt it can be less then the 1.8 though I could barely keep up with it in the straight), cheapest car there, along with next too no track experience, however I can only recall being lapped more then once by one car, and actually overlapped a couple others. I guess the difference is I'm not nearly as protective of the little **** box unlike everyone with there new expensive fancy gtis and R's probably are, and drove the absolute tits off it

Haha, I don't think it will be that much of an increase, just getting the stage 2 part of the carbon fibre intake.

Definitely hope the weather holds out!

Lame, stage 2 intake is basically for looks isn't it?

Weather should be good, still trying to clarify if we can have driver swaps halfway through for the few people who were asking.

[Tobes_WIR35]

More bits?
Get ready for some lack of traction

Fingers crossed the rain will clear up.

The price of the car rarely indicates driver ability/lap time.

Flashing your lights will only work IF the driver in front STILL flags you past as per QR instructions to acknowledge a car is passing. Don't try complicating it. Car in front MUST acknowledge you to ensure everyones safety and enjoyment. (though I had flashed my lights a few times to ensure cars knew I was coming on to the back of em and keen to get by when safe to do so )

Really, unless someone is really slow in an event like this I think its probably best to just leave overtaking to the straights. Lakeside is a short circuit and the straight comes around every minute or so anyway.. Still, light flashing is an idea I like, but as said, whoever is being overtaken should definitely give the signal that it is safe to do so as well, especially if its wet.

Lets hope the weather holds up again

Well i have a passenger coming. Does he need to pay for breakfast? Or can he just be a passenger.

I agree with what you said regarding the type of day it is. Leave it at that.

9 more cars. Is almost the entire front straight taken up with gaps. So its actually a hell of a lot of extra cars. If we can get 2 groups that would be great. They can only say no.

I think i will try and organize a track day soon for those interested. Im currently in a similar boat with track days, need a second set of wheels as A: 19's suck on the track and B: tyres get runied pretty quickly.

Cheers

Sacrilegious post X2 Josh lol. Custom Code stage II not cough, cough apr cough

And it's Anthony dude.

lolololololololol Anthony bro i forgot your name. I just assumed APR, but then again given how fast ya polo goes I sud have figured that it couldn't have been APR.lol cause all APR seems to do is make all your warning lights flash.lol Ill private inbox you mate I was just wanting to know who installed your audi driveshaft cause i do believe I may have some issues with mine and weber is booked out for ages...jmac is flat out for the next million yrs and so was hoping for a diagnoses sooner, and the fact that your guy knew about audi shaft fitting polo.....thats st cred.lololololol

[team_v]

No need for protective clothing although i would reccomend enclosed shoes.
