looking for a bumpy track

I'm looking for a track (or - a place where we can legally run some tests) that is particularly bumpy either entirely or in places...

What is the track surface like, say at QR, or Morgan park at the moment - if anyone knows? Or are there areas at, say, Mt Cotton that have a fair bit of bump around the place that we can utilise?

Just drive along old cleveland road at 2.30 in the morning...

If that doesnt get your kidney's sorted nothing will!

thanks - but require somewhere where we can reach decent grip-challenging speeds legally and in daylight.

I was doing some laps at QR on wednesday and the track surface was pretty good, I don't recall any bumps and there was no where the bumps were unsettling.

Lakeside has a view decent bumps though.

If you wanted to travel, Sandown is more of a swamp than a race track. Course its a long way.. :mrgreen:

The last corner of Morgan Park is quite treacherous.

Exactly what i meant...

:D


Another option could be the Samford Valley Road or whatever it is from Mt Nevo down to Samford, there were a few tight hairpins with fairly significant potholes and a slippery surface if thats what you are desperatly chasing...

last time I drove QR about 2 mths ago there were some decent breaking
bumps at the end of the main straight ie: the first corner they were enough to
get air borne off . I am assuming they are still there ?? thats it but the rest of
the track is pretty good !!
