Wrx Sprint, Round 3 - Sandown

[JAGR33]

So who wants to take me for driver training?

I'm taken...

[Downforce]

But if you don't have a passenger seat where are you supposed to put all your stuff whilst you drive?

what stuff?

[ferni]

I think he's taking the piss Matt, because you're not meant to have loose stuff in the cabin while on the track

[R32Big_boy]

scotsman any chance i could get you to do driver training with me please?

Screw chris, he's a hack probably put you into a wall or something. Could be worse though you could get ryan and in that case you'll end up having to get jack to tow you home because he will have blown up your engine! :laughing-smiley-014:

[Belsil80]

now now, as soon as we need some instruction on how to sail a boat we will come to you straight away. Do-Luck, i should be there, so if you need someone let us know and ill definantly come.

[Do-Luck]

Cheers Ryan, but I've tee'd up Brisby

[Roy]

You poor bastard....now be sure to go to Church in the morning

[Roy]

Does anyone know if poor old Dean is going to be back out? Smaug is making a return, be good to see Dean get out there and have a change of fortune

[RCHOO]

I just live down the road

So put me down to help out with flags or what ever..

[femno]

Oh i need a DT person as well. Is there anyone left??

[Snowman]

I'm still available if you need a hand.

[khunjeng]

no way Sandown is scarier than PI!

am I a traitor for wanting to do the Maserati day there the week after instead? heaps less cars than the WRX days usually... I had 10+ laps in every session last time I went... bit pricier than the WRX days tho... hmmm

nick if you go that day I will go with you...I cant go on Wed cos I have to take ppl to the football.

My driver trainer is V8 Supercars 2 on Xbox, did a 59 second lap around Sandown hahaha, wooooooooooooooooo

Been looking through youtube for some incar videos, but most of the cars on there are slow, 1.35-1.40's.....

Wheres some Jack Footage around Sandown when you need it.

Edit: Found this Porsche Cayman S one on google videos, not to bad... still not super fast

Haha - my very first track day way back when I'd been playing V8 Supercars 2 on my PS2 to learn the track and as I hit turn 1 for the 1st time at full speed I was unsure where to brake. But I knew in the game I was braking at the 100m mark and I figured the cars in the game were going faster than me so I guessed 100m was going to be a safe spot for me to start out at.

Luckily for me I didn't also try and test out whether the kink was flat out like it is in the game afterwards.

[ferni]

hahahahah just clocked a 58 second lap.... its crap tho, i'm doing nearly 300k/h before turn 1 from a standing start on the grid!! hahah my arse.

Yeah trying to get my head around the kink at the back about how fast to be taking that, more important to set yourself up for the left hander after it i think....

[Roy]

LOL...Sega Boy!

Big thanks to Tom, car has fresh sump of oil, flushed brakes and a tank of V-Power Racing. I also backed off the rear swaybar from the hardest setting to the middle. Roll on Wednesday.

Im going to watch the video footage of my last trip to Sandown. Suss out where is was driving like a girl last time round

[Do-Luck]
