Wakefield Park - 1 June

[BNR32t]

Woohoo 'bout time someone else joined Jeno, Jo and I at the hillclimb... next one is on the 25th May, having a break in June then having a 2 lapper in July.

C'mon Donnan, you should come to this one

I'm hoping Ben and Alex will be there too.

Should be out there, just my tyres are a little low after texi... So i will be a little lacking in teh grip department, But it will be my first time out there and my second event in the GTR so i will be taking it slow.

Unless i take the open wheeler

i bought 2 tyres today from north west tyres on wollongong street in fyshwick today, cheap as, they were only 205/55/16 though but still $80 a tyre fitted

You should have asked me... We have the 595EVO available in 205/55R16 - Awesome tyre...

Now you know

[BNR32t]

[ZCR]

i wasn't after new, was after cheap second handies so i can waste them

You'd be surprised @ prices... ask Mick.

Michele, I WANT to go but panel beaters found previous rust damage while fixing something else (UGH), so might be a close call!

Guys and Gals

I've just downloaded the data from Michele last run and yes - she was showin' off!!

She was carrying 200km/h through the kink on the straight and breaks down to 85 km/h in 5 seconds - gotta be happy with that!!!!

I think these smilies tell the story ...... .... .....

[SteadyEddie]

We have analysed the data a bit more and an update:

Michele is pulling about 1.2 Gs (lat - thats pushing her sideways) through the corner. As Michele goes into the corner she is doing about 164 KM/h, so her braking from 200 KM/h down to the corner is in about in 41m in .8 of a second. As Michele hits the brake she is pulling about 1.2 Gs forward movement too. This is into corner two (one after the kink).

Few other stats:-

- corner onto the straight - pulling about 1.3 Gs side movement.

- fish hook - about 1.4Gs side movement

FAAAAARRRRK! So I take it the brakes are working quite efficiently...?? Wow, that's awsome Michele!

[a20089]

Nice time. I wish I had tyres as I would have been up the pointy end of the list. Next time if this group buy happens.

Question, they let you run the open wheeler with other cars on the track????

[Michele]

No, the open wheelers were out on their own.
