Honestly. The car was capable of alot quicker. I wasnt driving the car to its potential. I left heaps of time on the table. Braking later and having more confidence through some of the corners would have improved on that a bit. That was only my third go at barbs ever.

Bad luck mate. But the car looked blindingly quick down the straights...easily the fastest looking car down the start/finish straight....and the noisiest!!

Tough luck with the engine Bram, but knowing you it'll be back stronger and making more power haha.

Seat time helps so much, so you'll naturally improve the more you get out to Barbs.
Also, get one of us instructors out there with you... speeds up the learning process and we can pick up on what you might not realise you're getting wrong / could do better.

Really sorry to hear Bram
Congrats on the time though. Was chatting to my mate Damo (black Focus RS) and he told me how you made it look like he was standing still on the straight haha.

Yeah. Agree. Unfortuantly there wont be much seat time happening in the forseable future.

What caused the big end to let go? Oil starvation issue?

Haha, yeah Mick was not so keen on instructing before that, and your pirouette didn't change that :P

I had stomach problems from after lunchtime which just weren't getting better. Better believe i would've made it if I could but really wasn't feeling up to it.
