Owning a fast car is easier than driving a car, fast.

Ouch the Brisbane CRX with a naturally aspirated 4 pot went 16 seconds quicker is the car not behaving or Danny just learning the ropes of car and track.

I think Danny did 8 laps today. The car was tuned and 'finished' the day before being shipped down so I think it'll have a wee bit more in it...

Whitey only just in to the 6s at Wakefield to be a clubsprint also ran you need to be sub 1.04 or better Wakie pace. Maybe next year if it gets a blower.

MX5's back on the track, I missed the first session :(

Just watched Danny almost loose it in a corner, then he pulled into the pits. The commentators made some positive comments about the car, saying that it had only just been finished.

Danny - 1:47.3590
Dean - 1:41.4300

I want to compete in WTAC 2015....

oztrackdays thanks I want to do some NSW track days in 2015. The WTAC and Philip Island 12 hour are on my to do list, but being back in the fly in fly out life style makes planning a bit difficult.

Did anyone notice (Friday) that a few cars went around Turn1 and did not use the brakes. These cars are producing so much aero it's amazing.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
