The second round was my fastest with a new personal best of 1:45:15.
I think I overdid it on the brakes though, pedal travel was a bit long at the beginning of the 3rd round. It was enough to make it through the round but they let the learnertics out there and the traffic was way scary.
I packed up after the third round, the brakes are stuffed now, flat to the floor just rolling the car off the trailer. I suspect it's just brake fluid needs changing, the pads are all fine. I must have boiled it in the second round.
Next stop DOVW ! :)

Well done Peter! Was great to catch up with you guys today at your VW stand :)
Brake fluid. I have had good experience with RBF600..takes the heat, firmer pedal feel etc. Even though hydroscopic stuff, I have never noticed any change over the last 5 years. You got stainless lines?
Cheers Morgan
Well done Pete, car was great.
Love the induction sound.
Great stuff mate.
Hopefully we will get ours soon on the track.
See you next time.
Cheers,
Gordan.
Hi all....Hey Pete you should be happy with yourself with a PB today............ So the brakes are now the weak link in the chain. I'm guessing your using dot 4 fluid which has a fairly high boiling point. If your not doing it already a good idea is to bleed fresh fluid through the system just before each event......... I'm using AP Racing 600 brake fluid in the rally car which has a boiling point of 300 degrees C and I've never had any loss of pedal height but I still bleed some fresh fluid into the calipers especially before events. The down side is that it's $50 for 500ml's. I'd be suprised if good fresh dot 4 wasn't up to it for what your doing in the sprints.....Cheers...Geoff
always good to see you having a crack Pete, getting more consistent every time I see you! :)
Looking forward to the next one!
