    That looks like a very fast track, not many slow corners? Is it good/better to drive on than others?

    It's a fantastic track, one of the best in Australia I'm told.

    Very fast and open.

    Had the discs machined this weekend and fitted up some new EBC pads.

    The discs were getting a bit groovy as I'd run out of pads at Winton.

    Next thing to fix is the extractors (again!) They broke through again at Phillip Island, I've ordered another set from Straight Line.

    I'm thinking I'll weld a flang to the outlet to make servicing easier and them get them ceramic coated.

    I'd say only Barbagallo at Wanneroo, WA would have a chance of being as good as PI. None of the remaining tracks in Australia flow and let you build speed the way that these 2 do.
    Oran Park was fabulous but has closed due to suburban encroachment.
    Eastern Creek is very good through to turn 5 but a hold out farmer forced the back section of the track to close back on itself rather than opening up as was originally intended

    sorry for the OP

    And to add to Volksee77's question, what rotors are those?

    The current setup is 16v Scirocco calipers over EBC 256mm vented, slotted and dimpled discs.

    The calipers are pretty exotic, 256mm units the bolt sraight up to MK1.
