Great event, good to see a proper time attack event held in Aus and hope it can continue to grow and become more popular.
What a great little track!!! Watching youtube videos don't do it justice, suits a very well balanced car rather than a horsepower car.
Feedback:
POSITIVE
- great format, especially the shootout, makes for some exciting racing, especially from a spectators point of view
- commentating, gives live results and is good to know what times the cars are doing and where they're placed instead of wondering over to the whiteboard after each class completes a session
- was great to meet some of the SAU NSW crew!!!
NEGATIVE
- poorly organised in the morning, resulted in a delayed start. Maybe get cars scrutineered much earlier or the night before??
- enforcement of superlap rules, did any body check any of the clubsprint cars if they had a 'working' catalytic converter??
- Did anybody check what tyres the clubsprint cars were running??
- pro drivers in clubsprint class. Seems like you have to throw a pro driver in your car to be competitive, kind of ruins the ethics of amatuers 'having a go' driving their own cars. Isn't that what the clubsprint class is all about?? If your too scared to drive your car by all means put a pro driver in it, but enter it in open class.
- Brett Middleton should have got an award for 'tool of the day'. How the fark do you ram another car from behind in an event like this, and he's supposedly an experienced driver. Not only did the fu(kwit not have the heart to come and say sorry or see what damage he caused, but had the ordasity to say once approached that it was Aarons fault for braking early. Good way to cost somebody thousands of dollars to their immaculate R34 GTR and end their day early, especially making the trek from Melb.
Congrats to all the competitors who participated, and to those who took trophies home, was good to see some of the fastest cars in the country at one track battling out. Look forward to the next one...
