So... I set a PB at Calder of 1:02.417 using my Qstarz Lap timer, as can see in this video... http://youtu.be/AerYprf6pGE However the Dorian failed to work for that session, and as my mates say "unless it's on Natsoft, it didn't happen!" I have to settle for the 1:02.5704 Natsoft recorded... Im uploading that video also. The best video is the one where I am chasing that beautiful 997 GT3 on slicks for 8 fast laps. I get held up with some traffic, but gawd it was probably the best fun i've ever had in the car. Uploading that also as we speak

What a bloody excellent day... Sun was out, groups were ok and nothing in our group broke. Managed a 1:02.5 - not even sure if that's fast. Playing with the Porsche gt3 was a highlight.

Any chance we can confirm a swap to that WRX day at winton in November instead of the Tampered one on cup day?

Actually felt quite dangerous to me... i'd imagine from slower cars points of view also. Miniwog's video above illustrates this pretty well... I held back for a full lap, set it up so I had the entire straight empty and began a hot lap. By the time i was coming to the end of the back straight i was in traffic again 8-20 seconds a lap difference to the rest of the field will do that... I resigned myself to just having some fun and seeing what the car could do in sectors alone. Beating my pb (1.19.4) wasn't going to happen. After looking into the logs today i could see my fastest combined sectors were 1.19.008 so the track was ok grip wise, but overall disappointed i couldn't string a full lap together because of the speed differences in traffic. I did start one session in the front, but screwed up turn 1 because i didn't manage to get enough heat into the tyres following the Alpha pace car on the warm up lap. The afternoon was even worse, i am pretty sure every session had a car off and stopped proceedings for 15-20mins of clean up multiple times. Colder temperatures had set in and the track's grip dropped sharply. Still can't complain... as i got to do stuff in the car that would put you in jail most days of the week. And thats always a win

Would much prefer that to Tuesday if there is a choice?

Ok cool... how far are you off working out the remaining calendar? Few things are popping up for August and September already and i'd hate to miss a round because the dates change...
