Winton Raceway 2011

[dwee.]

Awesome organiser, awesome weather, awesome day! Thanks Trung

I learnt so much that day on top of what I already knew.. Just terrific! :D It's a good place to learn how your car handles but also at the same time learn what your capabilities as a driver are! Obviously you have to be careful of other drivers and just use common sense. :)

Duy just grabbed the HD vids Winnie took on my DSLR; there's a few good clips of cars going through the final S-bend & straight, and one of cars lining up ready to go out. The vids are so clear!

First time to Winton so I did not know what to expect. Also, haven't really been driving this car much recently so I was afraid I've forgotten how she handled! :D

1st Session - 2:07.5760

2nd Session - 1:59.028

3rd Session - No PB, session was cut short due to accident

4th Session - 1:55.712

Understeer due to tyre pressures was a major issue. It was not only until the 4th session that I tried dropped the fronts down to 32psi cold and kept the rears 34psi cold (advice from Trung); this helped dramatically. Also in the last session, I took Trung around for 4 laps and he was telling me which areas I could improve (more like screaming "gas that mfker!" ); dropped him off in the pits and headed back out. In the next 3 laps, I managed to cut my PB down to 1:55.712! Unfortunately the session ended before I could cut it down even more. It was getting late so we all agreed to call it quits and starting packing up/putting parts back into our cars.

I'll post up photos Winnie took once I get a chance to look through them and select the good ones. My HD vids are to be uploaded by Duy, wait patiently because they're MASSIVE! Haha

Peter.

Also, Trung told me off for using one hand; so I forced myself to use two hands in the last session.. Found it very awkward..as I've always driven like that for the past 8 years. :(

After you dropped me of at the pits, I saw you nail a 1.56.380 and thought "CHEYEAH BOY! Go Hard!" Little did I know you were to going to dip into the '55's! Drive with two hands, get more control and you'll nail 54 without a doubt? Don't believe me? Give me your keys...

..haha jokes

Hahaha will try to use two hands, but I did that 1:59 lap one hand and I'm just curious what my lap time would be with the lower tyre pressure and more (mfker) gas'ing like in the last session! I reckon I can get into the 54's, just need to be more crazy like you! :P

Also, just realised last night that we (ZREs) bet some commonwhores and a falcon BA around the track! Go 1.8L N/A

[dorifto]

You'll get a '54 next time out for sure Peter :) I'll tute you more and show you more tricks ;) ... Johnnie too just to even it out! haha

[dwee.]

Awesome! slotted rotors, qfm pads, semis and remove rear seats for next time?

[johnnieboi]

1.52? then retire...................................................................................maybe B)

[dorifto]

pffft you kids can't retire! New cars, hungry for more - do 5 days at least then call it quits! Dwee, if you go semi's I expect a sub '50! Johnnie, I hope you'll be there to keep him at bay. I owe you a crash-course on how to take on Winton :)
