Yeah well, her bark is worse than her bite...!

I believe we discussed the APR supercharger kit previously but it is a significant upgrade ($32k) for what is already more than suitable for 95% of driving experiences in Australia.

It IS a significant power upgrade (and more like 40k fitted I believe), but at the end of the day, if a straight line monster was what I was after...I wouldn't have gotten an R8. I have come to terms with that I think, especially given that I'll be picking up something with really really HP in the not too distant future.
Really I just wanyed something that looks good, sounds good, is comfortable (all boxes already ticked by the SLK) but that has more performnce than I can use on the track, and won't kill me while I'm learning (NOT true of the SLK).

So much for sideline pics!

I know right.

Teasers below, album here; Happy Laps 12102014 Photos by THE_EGG7 | Photobucket

If the images appear squished or not proportionate, the full image on photobucket will look normal.

Hopefully there are pictures of everyone (except those who have already requested me to not upload them). I'd also upload some trackside videos but they contain people who requested to not be in any trackside footage that was going to be uploaded.

Unfortunately it looks like photobucket's image quality has declined recently. It appears to be quite a bit more grainy.

Good job! But yep, photobucket suckssssss.

[Scratchyratface]

thanks for the photo!

Whats the big deal about getting your video taken on a race track lol?

Thx for the pics

[team_v]

Awww Yisssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The photos are up!
Thanks for the effort Rhys.
Did you say your friend was taking some trackside shots as well?

The shots do look a lot crisper this time.
I wouldn't use photobucket for pictures but that is just me.
flickr or 500px seems to be the way to go.

[Paazuzu]

Thanks for the photos mate!

[ICUdR]

Thanks for the photos...
Shame about the videos tho... Perhaps an annoying Gf?
Like my grandfather used to say... Best relationships are based on lies lol

Photo's look great, yeah dont understand requesting not to be in video, everyone's number plates were visible all day, if they wanted real privacy plates shouldve been covered.

From memory the plates aren't allowed to be covered when on track as it is happy laps.
We had a few people remove plates previously and were told to put them back on.

Is it possible to privately share the video among the group?

I might have to borrow a co-workers gopro for the next one, now that I can turn corners AND use the accelerator at the same time.

I have some time on the weekend (it is super hectic at uni and work atm) so I'll see about cutting out any parts that contain people that requested to not be in the video. The videos are a little blurry as far as 30 or 48fps video capture I think. I might try asking dad to reduce the quality to 720 or something to get a boost in fps next time.

Also if anyone has a Parrot drone or something similar (R/C helicopter with a video camera attached) I think that would make some pretty good content.

My Dad and myself found that it looks like the Lakeside guys have put up extra fencing around some parts of the track so unfortunately 2 photo spots Dad usually uses (near the bridge and hungry) are no longer usable.
