Sydney track day Eastern Creek 20-1-2006 (now with pics)

Private practise day at Eastern Creek on the 20th on this month. You need a CAMS L2S licence.
$120.00 for the day. Sounds like a lot but if you factor in petrol to Wakefield it's good value.
Also Eastern Creek is a fantastic drive. It's like driving on a freeway compared to Wakefield :)

Yes you can go and watch. It's just a practice day. No event's just people doing laps.

How did you guys go?

Had a top time, a few problems at first but sorted them out. It rained a little but not enough to stuff up the day.

It was a great day. Not too hot. stazzavg30 had a great time he is hooked now :)
I was getting 210 kph down the straight into turn 1 and then 180 kph into turn 2.
I had some minor overheating issues after a few laps but the EVO3 turbo was magic.

Here are a few pics.

Only one on the track (7 year old photographer!).

That's Andrew and me with a GTR and a Honda NSX. Man the NSX was a rocket ship.

"Team" austarion. We got a garage, very civilized :D

What sort of revs are you pulling at 210kph.. with a 3.5 diff I take it?

Over 6000 RPM in 4th. From memory 6000 RPM in 4th is 200kph so whatever 210kph works out to be. I did not look at the tacho it's not a part of the track where you have lots of time to look at the gauges! Turn 1 at Eastern Creek is f^*king fast.
Yes 3.5 diff.

Lucky boys and 210 into turn 1; bet you look something like this

on entry, and like this on exit :D
LOL

What tyres are you running on the JB rims mrb1?
I've got a set of JB rims I want to fit out and any feedback on what you've got would be great.

well done. Would love to take on a circuit track, but I doubt my current car would like it. BTW, that doesn't look like a GTR.

What were your lap times?

I like how you have got rid of the pillar vents, looks pretty schmick.

Yes then you go through turn 1 at about 160kph and then accelerate up to 180kph coming up to turn2 which is a second gear corner!

I have Yokohama ADVAN-032R 205/50R15 tyres. These are a "R" compound road/track tyre. I would like to go to bigger rims/tyres for sure but have to save some $$$ first.

I have no idea what the lap times were we had nobody to time us :(
I feel I could have a go at a time maybe next visit. It's a long way round Eastern Creek lot's of corners to get right, need some more laps.
