Queensland Raceway Sprints (trackday) - 19th Sept

[seangti]

Queensland Raceway Sprints are coming up on Saturday 19th September if anyone else is keen in getting some tracking time.

I'll be running with a couple of mates, our cars are all basically factory so don't stress if yours isn't modded or prepped for track events, QR is (relatively speaking) light on the car, particularly on the sprint track, which is different to national circuit used for the V8s. More the merrier.

hi Laz,

yeah mate I might do lakeside again. whilst I'm reasonably comfortable on that track, the amount of cargnage was really quite disconcerting I'll see how I'm travelling for coin and confidence in october as to whether I'll do it.

hi trent,

little silver did ok all things considering. QR did a shambles of a set up on the day, started an hour late so only the 3 sessions (which is all they commit too, usually get 4+session), and they also had a 10second difference in slowest car (me), to fastest car (evo's) in my session (which wasn't there fault).

My lap time was 1:08.6, minimal improvement over before as there was water and oil in the S's previously (so found .8 sec). I really think the H&R springs with standard inserts do it no favours whatsoever. It floats in and out of corners making it difficult to tuck the nose and hit the markers, really had to take it by the scruff of the neck. Going to get a rear sway bar and maybe a tune (and intake etc) before the next one to see how she go's. Will otherwise look at some koni inserts in the future. Don't foresee any further mods thereafter (maybe front mount..)

I'll slowly build it up for bang for buck. At least I now know where it's at for a stocko, could only potentially scrape .1-.2secs out of it as it is, by braking slightly later and carrying a whisker more speed through turn 1.
