So who's done Calder before, how is it? Is still going to be fun with that chicane in place?

[acsplit]

Yep it's lots of fun, the chicane does not slow you down over the hill which is the best bit.

Are you entered Andrew? Didn't see your name on the list

[acsplit]

Not yet still got a fvcked power steering line...

[4ABHGE]

Entered!

[V28VX37]

Entered, weather forecast is looking good. Just need to prep the car now, mostly just small stuff. Can't wait.

[acsplit]

Ok guys,

Who else is attending so I can make sure we have enough steaks?

Entries are open until 5pm tomorrow night and with only 50 entries you are guaranteed to get lots of laps!

[Odium]

I'll be there

[V28VX37]

Car is prepped, semis are on, SAU stickers added ... can't wait!

This was an excellent day and it was great to meet some of the SAU crew too! Thanks for lunch too, nice cooking Andrew

Car ran well bar some loose manifold-to-turbo nuts, driver needs more practice

I had a ball, pity about the rest of the facilities falling apart though.

Glad I got in a good number of sessions, somehow went through 60L of fuel and needed to get Jamie to give me a lift to grab some more so I could get home

Feels really difficult to work on your times throughout the day as the lap times are so short. Wiping 0.5s off at Calder is like wiping 3 seconds off at PI

Not only that, the temporary chicane kept on changing every session which made it very difficult to get consistent lap times. According to the GPS logger my times varied up to 2 seconds throughout the day just from that section alone.

I had a ball racing around and had no dramas with the car so top day for me!

I hope it went well for everyone else too

Thanks again for the day guys, said hi to a few of you but sorry we couldn't head down and have a chat as we were down the other end of the paddock, the sessions came around too quickly!
