I will have mine on me. Will be dataloging the drive.
You can have it for few minutes afterwards (with laptop).

Look out for Blue R32Turbo MKV, girl driver.
I will take passenger seat

R32 Turbo. Will be great to see how that goes out there, guessing will be quick.

Re the number of laps, given its the national circuit, I'm guessing many of us will be doing around 1.20 - 1.30 min laps. I was doing 66 sec pre tune on the sprint, so add the 2 straights. Though as said, no timing so you'll be circulating for 30mins, certainly add a cool down lap every handful, punch around in a higher gear to let the engine breath and tyres and brakes to freshen up. If you want practise with lines, follow others to see their lines, than try your own. For turns 1 and 2, many people turn in to early and run wide. And the hairpin onto the front straight, spin their tyres the whole way round adding heat and running wide

Will anyone happen to be bringing their VCDS/VAGCOM?

I am keen to change a few things.

Conversely, if someone is willing to loan me theirs, I am happy to pay with beers/bottle of chosen poison

Well, count me in, times two. I will come with my fiance.

Full day would be nice....

Over to you Nat if you wanted to organise something - I would be keen also.

I've put you on as first reserve!

Thanks, that is well understood.
Still, high skilled instructors are nice to correct your cornering techniques, even if low speed.

Nice and tight. How many runs do we get?

Clay - can you help with this Q? I thought that you worked out how many laps you did at LP last event?

How many cars will be on the track at the time? All 35 or in smaller group?

All 35 together! 30 is not a problem at Lakeside Park, so 35 should be ok for QR.

Hey guys, are passengers allowed?
Do we have QR drivers to go with us as instructors?

Passengers are allowed, and have to pay the same as the Driver. QR staff do not accompany anyone as instructors - the event is intended to be driven at road speeds by licensed drivers (although most drivers exceed 100km/hr), and is not a race or timed event, so there is no need for instructors.

National circuit, cool. This should also make it muchnsafer with the number of cars. Would make 40 more feasible.

I had reduced the limit back down to 35 a few pages back in response to the feedback about having 40. The last 5 or so have only come on board in the last week, and the last place was only taken today. If there's any one else interested, I can put them on a reserve list (as there's usually a couple of people dropping out), and they should have a good chance of a look in.
