Sau Vic Motorsport Championship Round 4

[Teiresias]

Haha, awesome...

[Subarau]

Ha a bit damp at Sandown, maybe I should have booked that tray tow as well

Nah they will need it at PI this weekend.

I have put someone in a Nissan and from SAU in the Driver Training assessment group 6.

As its a new license and no experience listed on form.

I am putting this group out first so that they can be helped.

If they are all safe and been introduced to the track , I can them move them into group 5.

So we then only have the 5 groups I planned and everyone gets maximum track time.

I would greatly appreciate one of you taking them under your wing by signing on as a Driver Trainer and giving them the benefit of your experience.

(like dont try to brake from 200kph in the wet going into turn one at the 50meter mark)

Yep, we will sort out the DT driver.

Weather looks great, though slippy in the morning.

Weather was awesome today at PI other than cold wind. Hopefully tomorrow is dry at sandown too.

[Russman]

How's everyone going? I'm guessing it's a little wet and cold?

want a bet!

3 sec off mine, on a messy lap!

[ssxRicho]

Totally worth it to see Jack and Ant sliding onto the main straight.

Icy and cold in the morning....I was shivering inside the car.

Car drove home, win win.

Looks like I'll be back their again next weekend, if not wet!

Will do the same - also only if weather is looking good!

[Downforce]

Yeah too bad about the shitty weather, I was taking it easy the first couple of sessions then it started raining. The Z06 corvette coming on full noise down the straight sounded so good The M3 CSL was nice too. Was awesome seeing Luke and Anthony's long power slides coming on to the straight

John you're a nut behind the wheel!!! Nice times

[Teiresias]

Twas a good day today, good job to the boys in the skylines! First time going to an event like that for me, makes me keen to get off my Ps and get mine set up for a punt on the track, looked hella fun, especially that last corner, the few WRXs went off, cringed. Any way i can grab pics from today that are on FB and post them here? or is it easier to just re upload them to photobucket?

[ssxRicho]

you can just re-upload em to the forums.

[Teiresias]

there we go, few pictures in my gallery.

Looked like a good day from where I was standing

[emts]

John you looking at sat or sunday?

if the weather forcast for sun is still ok later in the week i'll prob come along as well.

[Ant97GTR]

Damn the weather gods! Was looking forward to Sandown for two reasons, one I have a lot of unfinished business there and secondly I was looking forward to sampling my new setup at the track. Well after the day, I still have unfinished business there but I did enjoy sampling the new setup even if unleashing the new ponies in the wet wasn't what I had in mind

Well done to all SAU peeps for keeping it off of the walls in some challenging conditions. Getting used to a new setup can take some time but after the first two sessions when I felt confident the rain hit...basically the only session that was dry was the practice with only light misty rain falling, 1st timed session got heavier and after that just got worse. Whilst lap times were out of the window, I did enjoy sliding the car through the last turn and turn 1 and I had a ball! That being said, feeling the car twitch under full noise in 4th and 5th gear in the two straights when hitting standing water was....errrr...interesting

Also met a fair few SAU members in the pits, so was good to meet you all.

Bring on the next round with will hopefully be dry!
