Lakeside Laps V20 - Sunday 13 October 2013

[PGTI]

The list has been updated, hopefully for the last time. We've got a great line-up. Please re-read the original post and show up on time tomorrow (i.e. 7:15 am)!

You should have ensured these already, but as a reminder:

1. Relatively fresh brake fluid
2. Sufficient tyre pressure (4-6 psi above car manufacturer's specs)
3. Legal tread depth (at a minimum)
4. No less than 25% remaining on front brake pads
5. Oil topped-up
6. All projectiles removed from interior (loose items secured, dashcams properly mounted)
7. External cameras must be fastened properly without the chance of flying off
8. A clean and tidy exterior (Represent!)

See you when I'm looking at you

Also check your steering wheel.

LOL. Great video. Poor guy.

Yes, check your steering wheels people...

Just did my pressures and gave it a wash.

Just did my pressures and gave it a wash.

Tut tut. Cold pressures should be set first thing in the morning in the garage prior to the full heat of the sun.
But kudos for the wash

[nat225]

it wasn't me, but I think she had sand in her ******

so, let's hope no one encounters such a "nice & courteous" tailgater on the way to Lakeside tomorrow

we definitely do not want a kiss on the rear bumper by a silly tailgater on public road.

i see that about 1/2 of the HL participants tomorrow are in less powerful on the straight type of cars, but some DO have the skills to drive on corners. so, if you are in a fast one and see a black Polo TDI behind you throughout the corners, let him pass. Else, I'm sure you won't get a spot at the next event

You're on your soapbox again, Nat. In that video, the woman did nothing wrong. The guy was driving like an idiot. Good on her for confronting him.

With regard to tomorrow, I appreciate you looking out for me, but I doubt I'll be very quick. I'll be letting a lot of people pass and hopefully they'll keep up their speed and won't ruin my corners.

You're right, though. Any discourteous behaviour will result in a ban from me. I actually have in my hand a prize for the most courteous and respectful driving that I witness out there. My camera will be rolling...

[Machine]

Another one bites the dust. List updated. Should be plenty of room out there tomorrow

Thanks very much for organising Ben. And another congratulations to Paul on winning the Michelin Man of Justice!

[Machine]

Lol. Well played. If Paul could post a pic of the Michelin man that'd be great. You never know...one day you might be the holder of the MMJ if Paul finds you worthy enough

Thanks Ben.
Great day again. Congrats Paul

Thanks for organising Ben. Apologies for holding you up the last couple of laps; I'll know to slow on the straight next time.

A fun morning enjoyed by a good group of enthusiasts. Thanks everyone.

[Rohde]

Thanks again for organizing it Ben - I had a great time - everyone was great on the track. Much appreciated.

[THE_EGG]

Really good session this one. Everyone was well mannered and drove smoothly. I tried to sharpen up on my lines more this time so I wasn't travelling all that fast but nonetheless awesome fun apart from the rabbit that jumped in front of my car in between the carousel and cone chicane.......Will upload gopro footage.

Thanks for organising this Ben!

[prh1973]

[steve_666]
