Adrian's has the best by a long shot.

All the usual mods FBO +
AP Racing BBK
Coilovers (AST I think)
RB Turbos
Oil Cooler
Widebody with 265's on all 4 corners

Basically the best track setup money can buy, there is nothing left to do.

Karl has the 1M with the full M suspension. I'll be faster in a straight line but he should make up a lot of ground in the corners, better entry and exit speed.

Plus I've been in the car with Adrian and Karl and they know how to drive..

Oh man! Yes, I got the gear, but (1) I'm not a great driver, and (2) its a manual. Don't expect too much from me!

What sort of fuel levels should we have in the car? Will we use a half tank, more/less?

And if anyone is interested, there is a united servo across the road from my shop which has 100RON fuel :-)

Hey Richard, it's best to go there with a full tank even though you won't use all of it for a half day session. Last thing you need to worry about is fuel. I always do the same when we go on a cruise.

Also try filling up on the day so you've got some fresh fuel in the car.

I want to try 100RON but I'm not game enough to run the ethanol mix in my car, bet it feels good though.

Hehe I've been in the car with you mate, trust me you can drive!!

It's all in good fun anyway, the only time I will be chasing down on the day will be my own, and even that's not my priority. I'm not just saying that because your cars are better track cars than mine either!! lol

I had such a blast last time. I get such a big adrenaline rush when I'm out there I have tunnel vision. It's just me and the road, sometimes it's hard to see how fast I'm going. I'm glad they switch up the tracks though as the track is fairly simple, but still a lot of fun.

I feel like I enjoy the corners more so and with some more experience I'd like to hit Morgan Park next. It will take time though. To get the most out of QR it seems like you need a car with a decent amount of horsepower to really appreciate it because you can build up some decent speed.

It's pretty fine, I've used a E85 mix before and thats a much higher concentrate of ethanol than the 100RON. Been using the 100RON for a couple weeks now with no issues at all.

Last time I done a half day at Morgan Park, I ran out of fuel, but that was including the drive out there.

I think it will only be a problem if used frequently over a prolonged period of time as ethanol is corrosive. 100RON should be fine but the E85 probably isn't.

Hey Michael, I just sent you an SMS. Thanks for the payment.

If you PM me your email I'll shoot you the details and you can forward it onto Phil unless you hear back from Paul first.

The 1st draft of the running list is available.

Nice mix of cars, I counted about 5 Ferraris including a 458.

Also a few Maserati's and a 911 GT3 CS.

It would have been nice to run with them but probably more fun watching them from the pit lane rather than worrying about trading paint!
