Gymkhana - have you guys done one?

haha yeah or you get a smart arse instructor like I did who'd pull the handbrake round a corner when you didn't expect it

EDIT: I think he means co-driver in general, not just motorkhana.

speaking of smart arses, next time yr a passenger in a manual - while yr sitting at a red light, and the driver isnt looking, tap the gears into neutral - very embarrassing for the driver when the lights go green...

Ive never need a co-driver to operate my handbrake for generral driving, but i broke my left arm once and has the kids change gears for me..

I have done a few motorkhanas in my old Mazda Astina, at the Eastern Creek skid pan... awesome fun! I agree, little on clutch/handbrakes, but nothing more than a good hard traffic jam on parramatta rd or any main arterials in sydney.

Best fun I have had on four wheels, but remembering the tricky courses is prob the hardest part of the sprints.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Thanks guys!

So I have a Taupo race track (track 2) on 23rd May
and Motokhana / Gymkhana on 2nd of June!

Cheers for the tip on the handbrake! I actually knew this trick from drifting in the past.... (well.... not me but from Drift videos!)

By the way, with Whiteline front and rear sway bars, I can oversteer around corners... awesome!!! (not overly, but mild)

I can't wait!!
