[QUOTE=Bram;835593]Looks like he didnt see the curb, then last minute it jumped out at him and he had to rapidly change his line to miss it.[/QUOTE]

Correct... had just gotten dark, didn't realise I was wandering into the bay until last second. I don't know how I got through that haha

Outside view of my final and fastest run. Starting to get lines right, but still lacking some balls through some sections of the course!

Jezza you need to sort out some flood lights or light bar or something. That is bullshit with such low power and centralised headlight lights.

This is why I think this a horrible venue for stuff like this.
It's only a matter of time before there's a big smash there. Curbs, concrete, buildings and lamp posts everywhere. Not for me chef.

Yeah. Pre-requisites for entry are huge fucking go-nads and general sense of invincibility.

Unfortunately there arent many other places that i know of that could hold an event like this. The course in my mind isnt that bad, id take it over going up the Zig Zags in Targa West and thats sitting in the same car. At the motorplex you have a small margin for error, Zig Zags you have either a rock, tree or a drop off..

Yeah I understand the not anywhere else thing but even so there are some areas there that are just plain dangerous. I'm amazed it has CAMS approval.

I went to watch the last one and I couldn't believe how close people were getting to the concrete barrier on the final 90 before the finish. I cringed every time.

The RAC one looks far more forgiving. It's a real shame that venue has an uncertain future.

Yep, have a uni bar and some basic spotties at home, but I think a light bar would have the intensity and spread that I would prefer.

In my eyes, this event is not cheap and certainly not for beginners... It's a practice for targa conditions, and has a large element of risk when you start pushing. I think I'd want a cage and some better safety gear in the car if I was to compete in this sort of thing regularly... That's what I'm aiming for anyway!

Would love to see Jamie Lister's footage, if any... His times were a good 10-15 sec faster than mine!

It runs on a knife edge of cams approval, when there is a big incident with a non-caged car it will be very hard for the approval to be renewed to the level that is currently runs at.

haha that is a fun corner to do, the right line through there and you get on the noise early and you can stay pretty clear of it even though you're close. Entry for the corner is critical though.
