Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        Oh my...QR must be hard-up for money, letting those hoons on the track. I wouldn't be caught dead out there.

          haha why not... and yeah very surprising to see them out in those conditions, with that behaviour. Doesn't really even look enjoyable to me...

            It obviously appeals to a certain market, just not one I'd want to be part of. Not sure it does much good for the image portrayed of car enthusiasts. But better than a commodore on retreads outside macca's.

            The Renault morning was great, QR flows much better than lakeside for these events and in these conditions is more relaxed to drive closer to the grip levels, but I'm a closet QR fan.
            Hope Sunday is a dry morning.

              It is definitely a different demographic out there.
              Seems like skids and short burst of acceleration is their thing whereas we are all about as much grip as possible and hitting the corners smoothly.


              I see the appeal of QR for a lot of drivers, and i am trying to get someone to take on organising hte QR laps on alternating months with Lakeside.

              I don't have the capacity to get to QR often so unfortunately I cannot organise it.

                Does this mean you need to physically be at the track to organise it or you're saying that you can't be there for the actual HL event?

                  I can't actually make it out to QR every second month to attend the event.
                  I could organise it and just not attend but i prefer to actually be there to make sure I can coordinate the situation if anything happens (i.e. telling people off for driving dangerously etc)

                          lolololol Unless heaps of people drop out, it is unlikely I will be able to make it to the next one. Hopefully some pros will come along like last time.

                              If anyone doesn't get off the reserve list you're welcome to ride passenger in my e30 (actually if anyone could give me some pointers on lines and whatnot that would be awesome, even though I've done a bunch of these I'll be the first to admit I'm still not great at it haha, would love to get some constructive criticism)

                                Nothing in that video looked sensible or safe or even enjoyable. Im not saying parade like Nanas but I wouldn't have gone out on that track for anything. Can you imagine if someone had gone off in that weather? Or the blue R had clipped that car?

                                Stupid stuff.

                                Hope you VW boys and girls are driving safe!
