I suppose that was one way to stay out of the sun

Here is a brief video - I finally got one to work with youtubes HD.. - taken yesterday at Winton. You can't actually see Andrew Carra in this video, but believe me, he is VERY close behind...Thats why I keep looking in the mirror. The boost is a bit squirly because I am having to control boost by backing off the throttle, not exactly how its supposed to work. and yes, the AFR data is rubbish..

Wish I was there, but due to car issues was unable to attend :(

Oh well, there is always next time, hope everyone had a great time.

Here's a couple of laps from me - struggling to get past a (bog standard) MX-5.  Following lap was my quickest for the day though!

Don't be hash on yourself Evan. The MX5 in question is one of the few NA Clubmans that came out with the light body and 1800cc engine. Even with the legendary handling of the MX5 you are the superior driver.

That's excellent!  Wish I'd been there.

The car sounds better, or is it just a new camera?

Hi all, I've finally entered cyberspace and worked out how to upload the video files I recorded on the weekend. Apologies for the sound quality as it was shot on a $50 motorbike helmet 'action' cam. Now that I know that this works OK I'll get myself a slightly better one.

Cheers, Andrew.
