There's a track in here somewhere!
Three and a half minutes of the first (and wettest) wet run I had. Checked the tyre pressures after coming in, and they were back down to where they'd started the day, no wonder I was battling chronic understeer!
Yes it was wet

Well, that explains where the new run off drains at MG appeared from, AND the dirty marks on the inside of the exit to Southern loop! ;D ;D Think I nearly did the same as you on one of the sessions...
Nice 360 Ray! while keeping it on the track. I think you meant to do that just to let the Pulsar back in front to keep the fun going.
I would have put it on the trailer....
My one and only dry run :P
Also I am extremely jealous of your wipers Ben!!!!
The best lap from my only dry run - beat my PB by 2 secs and thought the day was looking good... Spent the rest of it spinning off once the rain came.
I've also got some cool footage of Mick Aarons having a run in the Ricciardi that I'll post as soon as I've processed it.
Great lap Tim!

Hi All,
Great to see all the Alfa's out on Saturday. One of my mates had a GTV6 back in the day so I have a soft spot for those cars! Anyway, I was out taking photos in the rain and have put them up line if people would like to purchase images/prints/etc. Feel free to have a look, and if you do end up liking something enough to buy - You can use a coupon code AROCA for a 10% discount until the 10th of July 2012.
Thanks all!

Aww - you can barely see me slide in turn 1, it happens so quick. That MX-5 didn't stay in front of you for long... ;D

Glad to hear you've fixed that spigot bearing... ::)

Great lap Tim!
Thanks :) The car was really flying. The suspension change seems to have made it very twitchy in the wet, though - even Mick could barely keep it pointing straight once the rain came.
Your speed past some of the other cars, that I know are by no means slow, is just frightening.
Hey Mick, great driving. What final drive do you run in your car?
Cheers, Brent

I'd also like to know this.
Just going by engine note, I reckon you could save half a second by holding onto third on the run up to Siberia. Feel free to flame me if I'm wrong about that though. Nice driving.

You do realise that now you have the big motor, we're expecting you to come and play with us now.... No excuses will be accepted.

Not even 23mm torsion bars? Door handles are getting rare you know.
I like how I don't need a g-force display - I can just watch the dust and crap in the passenger footwell...
(maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot in this video).
Great driving, and nice video..!

Sheldon, you are right, but I like to change at 6,500rpm to conserve the engine. I don't like buzzing it at 7,000rpm as it doesn't make any more considerable power after 6,500rpm.
Ah okay, I didn't realise your revs were that high there, I didn't think it sounded that high (and it sounded to me like you were changing up to fourth earlier than in other parts of the track). Fair enough then, and apologies for the impertinence.
You've got a mild cam haven't you? Do you know if the standard 3 litre can go to 7000 safely?
I also think I should wash my car...
What? didnt your car get wet and washed at phillip island? lol

Hmmm... According to your dad, you've got enough cars hanging around there that you should have a lifetime supply. ;D Otherwise, just bolt some training wheels on halfway up the door....
