Cool, seems to help a lot. Love how that guy with the subaru on the compilation video totally overcooks it. Sometime I think guys think they are now all of a sudden king of the road just when they get into a subaru.

On a nother note, if you listen to the compilation video where they come out of that hairpin thing of to the side and back onto the main road, one can hear very clearly when it's a car weighing almost nothing. The little Datsuns make a very different zorst note, when the boost comes on, it almost gets a frantic sound. Whereas the heavier cars don't really have a change in the exhaust note, just a linear acceleration...

Low curb weight + boost = heaps of fun...

They are sort of semis. They are 7inch AVON formula ford tyres. They come pretty cheap second hand around here and are very grippy.

Very interested, your handling seems to be well sorted. Are you running semi's? Front and back?

The boot was coming up from the axle tramp due to the sticky tyres and warm weather. I ended up just cable tying it down!

love the self-adjusting rear wing

And sideways into the finish was impressive, well done!

While it doesn't look like many of you are interested. The results of this event came out today.

I ended up coming 3rd overall out of 41 cars and 1st out of the rear wheel drive cars. There was a nice long list of gtr's evos and wrx's below me which was satisfying. My brother came 17th and 6th respectively which wasn't bad considering it was his first proper drive of the car.

We have thrown a couple of vids on the tube so check it out.
In this one take note of the car lifting the inside left wheel about 30 seconds in.

Ok guys so some pictures have finally emerged from the day.

This is my favorite even though it didn't come out very sharp. Note the arm of my passenger bracing the roof!

I'm glad the photographer captured this one! The only bad thing that came of this was that I got a DNF for this particular pass.

Whoops!
