              • Thanks Aaron, another well organized event. Here is my first video. My problem this time was after heavy braking, one of the electrical connectors to a fuel injector kept popping off. I also nearly got taken out at 9.20 on a corner but it's all good. I'll get the second up soon.

                  Nice, gotta love that sound of the engine from your car.

                  What happened to the 306 @ 6:45? Random smoke?

                  • I was speaking to Jimmy about that. He washed his engine yesterday and was running on three cylinders for most of the session. The smoke was the car hitting the rev limiter. I think it came good i the end. His came good and mine started dying... Bloody French cars.

                      I was surprised by the pace of my little .:R32 against some of the modded turbo cars.
                      I've still got a lot to learn cornering wise though

                          • Another great day out, cheers Aaron. Was a bit of a surpise when I came out of turn 3 on the first lap to bury throttle and see cones in the way, lol.

                            The mini's were quite good to have out there - went alright and all had good track etiquette. Not quite a fan of having the evo's though. Too fast in a straight line for me to pass but brake too early and corner too slow to get past em.


                            Now for the geeky fun
                            My quickest lap was a 1:06.7sec on lap 12, top speed 178km/h. Max g-force on one lap (lap 10) of -.93g braking into turn 3. Most were -.8g into that turn. Just looking at lap 12, that's shaving off 115km/hr over 219m. That's fastest to slowest/apex speed in turn 3.




                            Red line is forward g's. So above 0 is acceleration, below 0 is braking.
                            Blue line is lateral, so above 0 is for right hand corners and below is for left hand. Probably self explanatory.

                            Daily: 2010 VW Jetta Highline
                            Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI
