If you are in Brisso, you may know and have used the old Lakeside circuit for testing, clubbys etc.

If you are a racer and have to drive for years to test, you know what a shit it is....

Thanks

Us Perthies only have one race circuit, and ive gotta say, it f'in sucks. The track is boring and has corners in all the same bloody direction, bar 1. You can also lap it in under a minute... whoopee.

Even if you brizzy guys can get a large club to take over management of the facility to keep it ticking over for the clubbies that would do.

Weve got an amatuer circuit down in Collie thats run by one of the touring car clubs. Its nowhere near the spec of Barbagallo in terms of asphalt quality and safety, but its bloody good fun.

It would be a shame to lose lakeside, get behind it Brisbane!

So what's the story with the track?

I read in Motorsport News that they were trying to get heritage listing which woul mean the track has to remain as is, and therefore couldn't be bought and rdeveloped...sounded like a good idea.

Has something changed?

I always wanted to go for a wrap around Amaroo, but by the time i got my licence the track had been bulldozed.

Lakeside is another layout that looks challenging, lots of high speed flowing corners, i hope they find a way to keep it open.

Maybe the pit facilities are not as good as Queensland Raceway but the layout seems to produce better entertainment

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
