Come along, predend its a week later and you're an A1GP driver.


Anyone know the lap times to aim for?

I think Matilda does it in a 1.54.
david from Mania does it a little quicker.
i think anything under 2.10 for an N/A MX5 would be pretty darn good


if its your first go on a race track add another 10-20 secs to it.

first time for any track and youn are tackling EC........you are a braver man than me sasso.

Hey mate,

From the Supersprint round held at Eastern Creek last year.

As you can see, I managed a lowly 2:02 whilst many other 5s were quicker on the day. The fastest for a Class 2B car, normally aspirated under 2 litres, light mods was 1:59 and Mike Hicks was the fastest 5 in that class with a 1:59:13.

Have fun mate, it is a great track. Wish I could be there this evening, but will be stuck in Newcastle. Hope the weather is kind to you also!

I went along to this too. Great event. How full-on was turn 1 in total darkness!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Not too sure what times I got - I was more concerned about not punting into a concrete barrier than getting a good time, so never looked at the results. I would think around 2:20 though. I was a nanna out there.

Which instructor did you have Sasso?

[marcusus]

I ran wide onto the dirt then was sliding sideways at 170 for what felt like ages.

Ran wide on turn 1?
I suppose being in the dark makes it that much harder though.

Great time for a stock? NA6 especially given it was your first run on the track. I think turn 1 is great for low powered light weight cars like MX5s because it is very difficult to judge how much to brake in a more powerful, faster car. I often find that I can catch a lot of cars that have passed me on the straight by running flat through turn one and leaving braking until very late in turn two.

Yeah first time at EC with the MX in that clip so with dodgey brakes and 14 yo 150,000 km stock shocks a completely flat run through turn one was a little beyond me that time
