Queensland Raceway Happy Laps (v.5) 27th May 2012 (breakfast)
After turning down the boost i then had issues with the DV leaking (flat spots on gear changes and holding boost).
Hmm, I had this too, just thought it was getting out of boost, but given I was going back to 3rd it shouldn't have been. Will look into this - thanks Ben.
Al..
ps 220, impressive.
For those that wanted a spectator point-of-view at QR, I have uploaded another video for you. This one has a few different clips that I put together that were filmed by dad. You have the right to laugh at my very good *sarcasm* film editting skills, haha.
Anyway here it is,
I noticed in the first part of this video, when I go past my car sounds like a jet from the massive whine my transmission makes haha.
Good to hear the action from the outside. That's some serious whine from the DS3. Awesome sight with so many VW (and euro's) out there, almost want to watch it from the side line. Turn 3 and 4 are prime examples of slow in, fast out.

Got some fottage up finally. My spin is at 5.10. How do I get the imbed code for the clip?
Fixed it for you.
You can hit the little film strip looking button which says "insert video" and then paste in the link to the the youtube video, or just put tags around the link. Just hit quote this and you can see if you want
Nice vid man! Did I hear you say "that was close" at 4:50?
That sure was an impressive spin at 5:10. You did a good job at getting out of the way

Haha thanks mate. I was trying to hang on (to the two golfs that past me) into the corner but the back end was doing a better job at it than the front was....
As for the comentary, I didn't know the camera was recording audio as well. I'll try to shut up next time.

Haha no worries about the commentary, I thought it was kind of funny because you said it the corner before spinning out .
I think i said woohoo and "need moar powahhhhh" or something like that a few times in my video. The engine sounds fantastic in your car, very raw sounding.

OMG - that is entertainment; I think the next best thing besides driving around the track would be to go shotgun in the Pug!! I've got sore cheeks and belly from laughing at some of the commentry - especially when you express your obvious displeasure at going into corners too hot, lol +. Agree with Rhys, the soundtrack from the engine is great - reminds me a little of the BDA Escorts.
