yeh was a good day..

cheers for the chat and good to meet you..

quick car and lights up well :action-smiley-069:

I must say you was also quick and interesting to watch, and your times??

ha, its only interesting to watch cause the fool behind the wheel cant drive. :action-smiley-069:

best was 1:27 dead.

Fantastic day guys, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Seems like it was pretty much a success so we'll definately start planning another ASAP :wub:

awesome day was awesome. you know my sentiments on exactly how awesome today was. lol.

I had the most fun I have ever had in a car - and thats saying something

as I have done plenty of crazy stuff. Was a real thrill racing against Keir

in his insane R35. That car is amazing - can drive out there legally & still

pull low 12s!!! I am very happy with my new slicks, they gave me the confidence

to push harder out of corners & to drop down in to the high 12s was brilliant.

Cant wait for more. The R35 was struggling a bit with 12000km old tyres

but still was fun to get "in the groove" before my R33 rocked up

(thanks to my Brother Daniel)

Thankyou to everyone who organised the day. Was the perfect track day.

I heard someone has some video of my R33 chasing Keirs R35. I am keen to

get hold of that on disc if possible please....... Cheers.

I also realised that I bought that R33 GTR from Prestige Cars at Walkerville back

in April 2000 (with only 13000km on it) so todays track day was my 10th Anniversary

owning it. I think is was quite a suitable celebration. Awesome fun to drive.

cheers guys, was an absulotely fantastic day. good to get out there and see what some of those cars could do.

big thanks to all those who helped out during the day (steve for BBQ, matty for using his trailer as car ramps, etc)

can't wait to get out there again, hopefully with a few tweaks to the car, but all in all a fantastic day was had

Cheers Bengi

Munro, that time is phenomenal, well done! I managed to beat my previous PB with a 1:23.30 which I'm pretty happy with but I know there's room for more, need to be harder on the brakes and I'll get there. Had issues earlier in the day with tire pressures but once that was all sorted, was sweet! I was surprised by the turnout today, both drivers and spectators and we couldn't have asked for a better day.

I've just received word from Shane that the staff told Clem we were a top club and welcome back any time at Mallala so well done to you all guys!!!

Fantastic day guys, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Seems like it was pretty much a success so we'll definately start planning another ASAP ;)

*cough...skids

looked like you all had a ball! was well worth me retiring from work half way thru the day

to come watch :happy:

hmmmm, better get my membership sorted

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
