Had a great time with Harpoon today at EC, mucho fun was had by all.

The day was a BMW driver day condensed, there are no other dealers in NSW offering drive days , although I am happy!

Loved the skid pan, timed autokana (came 1st in my session, 3rd overall) and track time in the M3. On that note, I have to say how impressed I was with the M3's cornering abiltiy.

Geoff Brabham said I was the best driver he'd ever seen, and to be honest I had to agree

Yeh had a great time. The highlight for me was lapping EC in an M3 following Brabham while he talks you through the best lines etc. Got up to a much quicker pace than I would have thought. Loved the DCT gearbox. The hot lap was bloody good fun too...sideways for the majority of it!

Geoff said I was the best of the day too which was cool
