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

[toolman]

Hi toolman, I heard the official asking you to take your helmet off at the start, what happened?

I guess they just want people to have fun and not promote the 'racing' during the happy laps and so obviously they don't want people wearing helmets as it might promote higher speeds or something. Anyway it was no big deal. I had it there as I wanted to try out everything including suit and helmet but that was okay, I just wanted to get some lap time.

Where are the action shots?

Hey DreamensioN,

I like the shots of my car! The Lakeside Park sign in the background is tops. Any chance of sending me the full files on email???

Cheers,

I'd be keen to grab a full size version too

I got a few of yours Ben. I will post tonight. Think i took my wide angle lense off for them though. Would have looked FATTER with the wide angle but the ones i got are ok.

Compared to the only ****ty ones I have from my awful phone camera, pretty much anything will look amazing to me, hah.

Am still looking for a ****ing measuring tape to measure up that board. There should be like ten in house but ofcourse you can only find one when you dont want it haha :/

u going to Melb?

Yeap, that's the plan. No grandstands this year though- will just get a general admission.




As for action shots on the day, I've got all the pics from my photographer mate and will be slapping those on my blog in the coming 2 days (with plates edited out).

Next one in March, new thread for discussion/nomination on that one.

I think this was a good experience for us to enforce just what this event is about and the limits that we should adhere to.
I drove with all electronic aids on and only once had AWD kick in.

Might consider turning it off next time to work out just how much it affects my driving but i don't want to crash

All i know about it was htat it sounded like pure s3x when it roared up and overtook me with ease on the straight.

Dude switch it off. on the first laps I kept it on car was on constant lockdown and all over the shop. Tarmacs right, kept it off last time and found 4mo kicked in a lot more. heaps more fun, but not good for my tyres.lol

[DAL32]

and thats how it should be thanks , i'd like to say the vast majority did this and i try to do it as well.

they are still uploading there's 4 8min vids if you see alot of the back of your car thanks for not moving.

and yes there are long periods of driving like a granny trying to find clear track

and yes the sound is ****ty

Everyone runs to their own pace, the ute wasn't the only one holding everyone up in the corners one of the others was euro, but if theres a car in your mirrors for every part of the track bar the straight it would be nice if you let them past. But as they said its up to the driver of the ca being overtaken and a lot of t comes down to that persons attitude. If you only like the straights try the drags

I'm disappointed, the only sighting of my car was a very brief red flash flying past at 2:12 on "lakeside 3".

Appears as though you got a very good look at the rear end of a particular vehicle, what was it an Alfa or Fiat or something?

I dunno if you guys were talking about me, yes I did see a lot of my car in one of those videos. First time on the track wasn't really 100% on racing lines and ****. So, sorry if I held you up etc. There was some times on the straight where I deliberately gave it a bit less to allow people to pass, plenty of fast people passed me so I figured I wasn't doing it wrong.

Either way nice footage.

Hope my car is a little more sorted by the time I get to the next one, this way it won't be a problem if people can't beat me on the straights. And I can justify my wide entries with faster entry speeds lol. I'd just like to not accidentally drift my car like I have done on Glorious a few times.
