Wakefield Park Track Day Friday 14th March - Last Minute Spot Available!

[1JZ-Rolla]

I find the same as Draven said above, I hit 200 just past the start/finish line, give the brakes a quick stab while still in a straight line, coast through the kink with no brakes/throttle (otherwise it just locks the inside front if I try to hold some brake) then jump on the anchors after straightening up before turn 2.

Panelvan needs some more weight over the back wheels to keep it a bit more stable under brakes methinks

[Draven]

mine's pretty good if I just feather the brakes around turn 1, but it gets squirmy when I'm grabbing 3rd before turn 2 if I don't rev match perfectly

[1JZ-Rolla]

Rev match haha, I tried that with the auto & just surged forward instead now I just wait till the last moment before downshifting, and have to rely on the brakes only to slow up.

You should see my heel & toe technique, its amazingly easy when you only have two pedals Heels on the floor, toes on the pedals

[Draven]

bitch

I'm su busy trying not to have an off that heel & toe very much takes last priority

got a couple more videos coming shortly, just waiting for Youtube to process them.

lol the sprinter you could take the kink with the pedal flat to the floor and even accelerate past the kink up to 155-160km/h lol even then u dont need to brake much to get it to turn in for turn 2

oh i need some more power

way too much braking in that vid greg. less brakes more gas

next time ill give it a go on 18psi and see if i can get a 1:10 or quicker out of it. feels like it could do it easy but too little sleep to want to push somone elses car hard.


blake, 200kph thru the kink isn't bad its just seeing the road disappear quickly when on the brakes for turn 2 that scared the crap out of me.

this was the first time id been out in a car. done a few laps on the bike but a car is well different.

cheers

lol, you need more power? I enter the kink just above 130 and brake at 140 when it staightens up for turn 2.

[Draven]

the end of the main straight isn't that badimho... it's the last turn that does me in. harder to guage speed and braking distance.

[MR22ZZ]

wait until you try and tackle it in the wet, then tell me how scary the kink can be.

going backwards towards the wall @ 150 in my old corolla was not fun...

[Draven]

ahahahahaha
yeah, I'm not too keen on trying it in the wet. on the plus side, there's no way I'd have traction to built up 200km/hr in the wet

[Cuzzo]

Awesome vids!!!

Cant wait for next time. Thats why the suspension/steering is getting overhauled right now.

Early April?

[finney]

new surface makes taking the kink faster a lot easier.. I was hitting it around 180 and the brakes were really struggling to pull it all up in time.

Did anyone see the WRX engine fire?


Not sure if the grainy quality is a result of the GoPro camera, or my inability to work out how to use youtube to best advantage

[beauy]

lol... thats looks like fun... i might have to get myself one of those cameras
