No idea. Don't forget my car has (relatively) lightweight Recaro's.
The day it got sprinted was not the day it got weighed. I did the circuit sprint with a full tank, i know that much.
Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

Thought it might be timely for us queenslanders to get some circuit times up here. I'm going to aim for doing sprints in March as I'm away later this month and have some gear on the way. My old official times for QR And lakeside are near irrelevant for this thread as the car was stock. We can discuss the details in another thread.

Sounds good to me Sean. Will I need a CAMS license for that?
Volkswagenist
Nope, just an AASA or something like that. They can be had on the day, used to be $20 for a day license and $55 for a year. Not sure how much these days.Originally Posted by VWindahouse

Some footage from a Winton track day back in Jan. No PBs were set (tyres were shot) but still a tidy lap nonetheless

How many kms do you have on those Federals, Jason?
Incredible times you managed with a tyre that isn't a full on semi-slick..

Hmm, have probably have done 3 track days on those tyres with around 10,000km regular driving. They've held up quite well, the shoulders are a bit worn but I rotate the tyres quite often. It was really hot that day the clip was taken, pretty sure the tyres overheated.

Sean's time added for QR.

Some official times for QR using NatSoft timer.
Clubman - 1:07.2013
Sprint - 1:04.1
National Circuit - 1:32.5398
Ran on semi-slicks. Above is the order they were ran. My last session on national circuit with the fuel light. I think each time could be scrap into the second below. so a high 1.06 on clubman, sprint in a high 1:03 and national a 1:31. I was quite happy with my lines for the most point, perhaps leaving a bee's whisker in turn 1, and turn 3 hairpin on national. Otherwise, that's all I got.
Some video with editing. unfortunately when I had my laptimer going I wasn't recording video and vice versa. Just a technology fail on my part so no telemetry to provide at the moment.
