    a clip from last Thursday Time Attack.

    in some of my clips, some runs were like just me on the track.

    in the run below, it was really just me, just by myself and no other cars

    the track was mine for the whole run!

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport - Super Select 2WD/4WD
    Toyota 86 GTS Performance Pack Moon Slate - RWD
    MINI Cooper S Clubman - FWD

    I'm too bummed with my performance to talk about it. One of the three of us did a PB, so good on him. I finished first in points in my class for the day and 2nd overall in the series, so I'm happy about that. Next year I'll win it and do a sub-60

    Ben, nothing to be overly bummed at. You've got the data to validate your modifications, so it's all heading in the right direction. The wind picked up significantly in the arvo which hinders speed down the straight.

    I had a good day, the car is running really well now and feeling good. Despite the heat, I got a new PB for its current set-up at 63.34, a 0.34 improvement. Since last time I've had more camber added to the front left (an extra 1 degree, now at -3.8 deg) and the training out at Morgan Park helped with some lines. I felt that I wasn't over driving the car into corners and was braking later/more progressive. I'd now like more power to get me out of Karousel (do we spell it the german way??) and also down the straight, but given the open diff it's really about as much power as is reasonable.

    There's a 62 second lap in it, will need the right conditions and was taking eastern loop a bit tighter on entry than usual which I don't think was quite ideal. Still needing to man up a bit more for entering the straight, there's an easy half a second there between committed and crazy, I need more crazy.

    i need to go crazy for next year 😈

    my 2015 was short by 6 points, beaten by an evo (think it is heavily modified? got camber and the fmic looks aftermarket) and early in 2015 i was not focusing on lap times but more on getting used to the car, tested the stock brakes to the limit and measured the improvements from a virtually stock (tune and penrite brake fluid only) car and made progress with minimal mods (could be considered lukewarm & mild mods) and some training.

    anyway, I'll be back!

    Just looked at my data again, on that PB lap I ballsed up eastern loop and dropped ~0.3s (from my better laps) in that sector alone. That "sector" is from half way between hungry and eastern and half way down the other side, so only a small sector of ~10s. Add a 10th or two variability in other sectors and I'm comfortably into 62's.

    That one perfect lap hey

    Mad TT - new participants are always welcome and encouraged.


    Not the best or fastest lap, but one that I recorded both video and data.
