[SYD] TRACKED volume 1, Eastern Creek Track Day May 2nd 2012

05C4R · 04-30-2012, 10:18 PM

I got into the afternoon session on that same day. I may see you guys if your still there after 12.

I can't make the morning, my business just doesn't make it possible.

Car is purring like a kitty

sbce90 · 05-02-2012, 12:27 AM

Great day fellas. Total success in my books and the car behaved very nicely. Only some slightly squigy brakes about 2/3 way through. I could have kept going on them but decided to wait it out so I could go harder in later sessions. No limp modes or CEL from the car, but the tranny did go into S+ mode itself (from fully M). I assume it was just being worked a bit too hard.

Of the laps I did record, my best times were 1.55.39, 1.55.42, and numerous 1.56.xx/1.57.xx

V-maxes were 228km/h, 227, 226, 225

So whens the next one? Need to know how long I have to get most of the stock parts into the bin.

Zuzu · 05-02-2012, 12:56 AM

Great day Clinton and very well organised with the marshals and driving instructors..( and eye candy..

)

Thanks again to you and Advan Performance for organising.

The 1M was superb on the track.. had a much better feel IMO that the E92 M3 I drove in the last track day last month.

No brake fade or overheating issues whats so ever.. And amazingly, No tyre scrub, if any probably minimal, but nothing obvious.

And special thanks for my new Ferrari for "best and fairest"...

Nice one Suj, that's a great time for first time at EC? How did everybody else go? *cough, Tim*

Joe: you won something?

luster · 05-02-2012, 01:28 AM

I believe Joe won one of these

Well, I have no problems with sooner. Today saw a bunch of people that have limited knowledge of each other (and maybe their own vehicles and track) keep it a fairly mature, safe and overall fun (poor bloke with the falcon turbo excluded) day!!

Maybe us Sydney folk can do alternate months of wsid and trackdays to keep it interesting?

kaitan · 05-02-2012, 02:38 AM

Looks like a great day out guy!!! MORE PIXXIES!!!

The 6.2 sounded unreal under full throttle.

Benny (I think it's Benny) I popped my head around into you garage and saw a couple of Porsches and felt unworthy

next time I'll say hi

1q2w3e4r · 05-02-2012, 03:21 AM

Aye should have said hi! I was out there with Simon AKA the FatMan. He had the black 993 but had a tyre issue so we had to cut the day short and get creative to get home.

Pete will tell you they (the porka's) are just a VW beetle who's satnav heads East by default!
