QLD Raceway Lunch Laps v25 - 31 May 2014

[seangti]

Intercooler pipe really?? Sorry mate, can honestly say that's never happened before.

All good hey, I had explored third gear throughout the week and was all good. Just one of those things that'll happen from time to time.

Is the passenger saying I ****ed up my car with camber? LOL

Yes, I believe that he was.
I didn't really take note of the audio in the brief clip that I selected.
Also, PRH, I see you stole my idea from last time of strapping it to your head!
Looks good...just maybe lower your seat if you can for a better view! lol...

Ha Wolfman I did steal your idea and thanks. I really did look a treat with the headstrap on. Camera should have been tilted forward and sun visor should have been up, would have been a better view.

[Wolfman101]

Looks good though.
I'm thinking of strapping it to the roof next time maybe.

Yes, I believe that he was.

Haha that's gold. For what its worth its been set up with an aggressive track alignment (not for "fitment" ) by the guy who does a lot of race cars specifically for qr, but what would he know

Oh interesting. I didn't actually know that heavy camber like that is actually part of some track set-ups, but upon research it is! Learn something every day...

I think the passenger was commenting on the Bronze E30, not your black one.
The Bronze one had like 4 degrees negative camber and quite a bit of stretch/poke.

Definitely looks like they're talking about mine haha. Couldn't help but cancel the r8 noise and have a listen I'm not offended or anything, had a good laugh actually haha, so clueless

No love for the E30 clan haha - but yeah I don't have as much width on my tyres as I'd like for the track, the guards need some work first so I don't scrub. Made it a bit sketchy exiting corners on the throttle with the M30 in the front! But had a great time regardless.

No worries.
Most of the poke/stretch vw guys tend to only go for our hardparking meets and leave the happy laps to the semi slick/track wheel guys.
So yours would have been a first for a lot of our group to see going round the track.

[Wolfman101]

And yes, he was talking about the bronze one.

Couple of vids from the sidelines a friend recorded, video quality isn't the best, but all the cars sound the business.

Shame he didn't pick up the R8 or AMG

[Wolfman101]

Waaaahhhh

[team_v]

Waaaahhhh

I am contemplating setting up my camera/GoPro at Lakeside before the next laps start so i can get a video of fly-by's and exhaust notes to add into the mix with my windscreen mounted footage.

Does anyone have any links for pics they took on track Saturday?
