What a morning! Started out with a great first run for most, until a mini cooper decided to drop it's load all the way round the track.

After that got sorted it was a mixed bag for me and most of the field. I think most of us were a bit spooked by the still visible oil line around the track.

This was my first and fastest run, pretty scrappy but I have made changes to the cars suspension and tyres recently so I am still getting used to it all. No excuses...

Well done Jezza for setting some scorching times in your rather beaten up looking wrx!!

A050's are the shit.

I feel abit better about missing this round after hearing someone spilt oil out there. Last time that happened it was a crap day. (think it was the same course layout too? )

The track actually felt good after we scrubbed it off with heaps of sighting laps by all. I think it was more of a mental thing.

Didn't seem to affect the big fella in the little white plastic looking racecar, who set some ridiculous times. Well done Beau.

I didn't get to see the results, how did you finish up?

It was a fun day, very cautious going into the bottom corner/oil slick but other than that it was ok, tyres didn't really come on untill the last few corners so i wasn't going 10/10ths

The car beats me up a lot (g force is huge) so i am really feeling it today!

Nice to meet you in person BTW!

Not sure where I finished either. I'm still trying to get used to the heat cycling and pressure management of the A050's between runs, they are a great tyre just different to the hankooks I had before.

I could see you getting quicker as the day went on it was great to see that style of car out there but I'm sure it would be even more impressive at Barbs where you could stretch it's legs properly.

Nice meeting you to mate.

Nice work Jezz. Some race tape and a couple of cable ties might have seen you sneak into the top ten!

Had a ball this morning. Didn't seem to be as many competitors as usual this round?
Was a cracker of a course, so tight and technical.

Here's my 3rd run, came a bit loose in the beginning for some reason
https://youtu.be/G8DeA0p9qNU

And 4th run, my fastest of the day.

Getting consistently closer to Lister's times, so pretty chuffed. I think I will need a bit more power (maybe 300-330hp ath?) or wider rubber (245 or higher?) to get too much quicker.

It's the last round next month, this year has flown by!
