SAU Circuit Times

Yeah turn 2 is more open then it looks, so the kink (turn 1) is flat in a lot of cars...maybe not in the quicker, poor handling ones

Actually, a lot of the time to be made up at wakefield is the whole 3/4/5/6 complex at the top of the hill, a great spot to practice your left foot braking.

With turn 8, you just take the kamakazie line in, hit the first part of the turn while still braking hard, then turn in and wind the lock back off while hitting the second apex really late. Then flat thru 9 (mostly, although I've ended up in the dirt at 120 a couple of times from turning in too late.

Turn 10, turn in *really* late, go over the jump...and start another lap

easy

except in the wet on semi slicks right roy?

2nd best track in NSW after Oran Park GP circuit

I think this is why I have such a good time at WP. I have RE55's now. Watch the **** out!!!!

LOL... i was watching some footage of that day about 3 weeks ago with a friend, 6 spins in one day :headspin:

I would have thought the road rubber i had would have been better then semis in the wet, you and that yellow ute lapped me every 5-6 laps...LOL, so whats that 10-12 seconds a lap quicker then me :kick:

I want to come back to NSW in May to do a few track days before i sell the old girl and head OS, be interesting to see if i can go a bit quicker, or whether the extra power just brings undone:(

It will be an honour system as proving lap times is rather difficult, so i ask that you are honest. As a minimum laps should be hand timed by a spectator or third party. And please bear in mind that others may be spending considerable amounts of money on the content of the posts

i was at wakefield today driving one of those v8 auscar things they have there......which was brilliant then i was soo excited i put the skyline on the track toooo......i'm no more a track virgin

farken awesome, will be back there real soon.

just thought i'd share my excitement.

[Roy]

LOL...good stuff. I have thoughta btou one of those Future Tourer drives, how hard do they let you go?

Did you have the car on song with the new turbo setup?

[yogi000]

I love the torque in the V8's. Fantastic!!!

i wasnt too confident so i wasnt pushing too hard, but they dont really limit you, you have a pace car infront of you and basically you gotta catch him and push him to go faster. I found them to be pretty cool at wakefield.

My car isnt on song yet, but wasnt too bad could only rev to 5900 because of injectors maxing out above that. But next time it wont be like that

Also had my girlfriend in the passanger seat, that was fun tooo!

[Boosted Zed]

Hey Roy who's this GTR Jason dood faster than my slot car??? Give me a dog box and will be a lot closer if not beat but pretty impressive times. Does he get out to the track much as I have not seen it? What colour is this beast or pics or website??

[Roy]

I got no idea, i suppose his name is Jason:)

All i know is that its an R32 with HKS 2540s etc. See if we can get him to Wakefield/UAS day. He apparantly has just opened a workshop out past Liverpool...showdown:)

Providing i make it thru this weekend at Winton with no problems ill be paying for the UAS Wakefield day in May:)

Im hoping to pull 3 secons out of my best lap time now that i have 80rwkws more and semi slicks...ill be stoked with a 1:10, ill be buying the beer if i crack into the 1:09s:)

[yogi000]

can anyone attend the UAS track day??? or do you have to be competitive???

[Duncan]

hahah you sure don't have to be competitive to be at the UAS day, after all they let Zs out on the track there

And I understand Jason will be joining you for your track day John, unfortunately Mark and I will be down at Targa that week.

[gtr jason]

hi John there are some pics of my car on the www.ausrotary.com.au from the last track day with the rotary boys
