    I wonder if there's any chance of getting timed laps? Keep the same format, though also have some timing. I guess that's essential sprints, they're just so overpriced compared to this event.

    Anthony, does your G-tech have lap times? Or is there a good phone app? My head unit has most features, but no lap timee

    lol sorry it was a R32 and boosted, he just puts a 1.9 TDi badge on it to avoid attention.

    Sure does Sean, just need a sd card attachment!

    first of all, thanks Aaron for organising.

    personally i like QR more than Lakeside as i can push a bit harder, feel safer and it's much easier to deal with traffic (whether passing or being passed).

    T3 is definitely a PITA. the dirt at apex didn't help. my car held up fine brake wise and i allowed it to cool down every few laps and i let off the throttle early into T3. my biggest problem was actually windscreen fogging up straight after getting on the track. was pretty scary driving blind into T3 for the first time. would definitely love to come back in the future.

    lastly, GSL Rallysport is good. they are now based in Acacia Ridge.

    Hey Everyone,

    Seemed like you all had an enjoyable time, unfortunately I didnt read the last posts on the forum, in which the track time was moved forward from 8:30 -> 7:30, so I wasnt able to get any photos of the action.

    However I was able to get some photos from the meet afterwards, I hope to cover future events.

    An article has been writtten on DownshiftAUS.

    So you got the RR version? SS doesn't appear to have lap timer.

    Ok guys, well yes my dad did get some fantastic sideline shots and some videos too. If I can remember to do it, I'll upload them tonight after 7pm as I have a uni exam from 5pm-6:30pm.

    I hit just ~163km/h (somewhere between 160 and 165 on the dial anyway) on the back straight but I braked early just before the 200m mark to avoid brake fade which I did successfully. I didn't notice any brake fade at all except for when I was driving home it was a little noticeable. I only hit 155km/h on the early laps and I was stoked to see it go over this because I didn't get past the 155km/h barrier at lakeside. My car really runs out of breath once I change into fourth at ~145km/h. IMO it's not bad for a little 1.6 N/A i4. (i think its about 88 or 90kw or something like that).

    Very impressed by the mk3 golf though. IMO its better to have a slower car because you have an excuse if someone overtakes you haha.

    Also would it be worth upgrading to ebc greenstuff pads on my DS3? Or should I wait until the factory ones wear out? I can get them pretty cheap from the UK so pricing is alright, but I'll hit up GSL about it.

    I see Dad's Range Rover made it into one of the shots from EvoBlitz. haha.
