Eastern Creek was great - it's the first time I've driven there in a well setup car with race rubber & proper brakes, certainly not as scary as last year on road tyres, sloppy worn out suspension and bad brakes.
As for lap times, there was no timing and I don't have a lap timer as yet (Nathan, from memory you have a MyChronLite, where did you find it?). But did manage to hit over 200 down the straight, but still can't go through there without a long tap on the brakes. I did find turn 10 hairpin hard, as need a 2.5 gear. In 2nd need to change up too quick & in 3rd revs are too low & its sluggish until @ 3500rpm.
It was a great day with some good instructors (when you could get one) and we did get a lot of tracktime (about 250 km worth) - and a lot of Porsches - 944, 928, 968 and 911 - including GT3's several GT2's and abrand new GT3 Cup Special (?) only 1 of about 15 worldwide - (wow what a machine), you may have seen it at the Concourse in
PR Tech signwriting.
It's amazing how much great knowledge the instructors have of the track, guess it's just down to loads of laps. Matthew Hunt drove my car for a few laps & it really helped me with my lines.
The TrackCorp experience left a little to be desired, especially after lunch - we were expecting Jim Richards to be the special guest, but he didn't show & no explanation given. As well as little communication from the staff during the day, I would have expected the TrackCorp Team to be wandering through the pits, talking to all the drivers while we waited for the next session. For $485, I think I'll stick to private practice days. Two days at that price pays for the Cams PC licence.
Good luck on saturday fellas, sorry I won't be there. It would be good to hunt around with a few similar cars - I'm sick of being passed by Boxsters!
