Found some of my old tarmac rally vids today

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 03:31:49 +0000

Came across some old vids today whilst avoiding the Sydney heat wth my boys. A bit of fun from Classic Adelaide.

My car is a 1970 911T non sunroof built into a 911ST with a twin plug 2.8 RSR+ motor and a 915 with short gears.

Apols for the dodge low res quality

My first track day 996 c4s

Mon, 17 Jul 2017 01:34:57 +0000

Took my 996 c4s to sandown raceway on my first track day on the weekend. I have done a bit of Dragracing in the past but never been on track before. At first I was a bit nervous but after that I had a blast. I was a bit intimidated at firsts in the pits by all the supercharged HSV's, M3's and wrx Subaru's but once I got on track I realise how capable my car was. I was surprised how many cars had problems with overheating and their Break fading after five laps or so. After watching the video footage in my car I realised I had a bad habit of driving with one hand and leaning on the gearstick but other than that I was pretty happy with the way I went. Before the track day I like my car but now I love it.

Took the old girl out for her first sprint of the year at Queensland Raceway. It was a lovely cool day and she performed very well, managed to beat my old PB by over a second!

The telemetry isn't very accurate, but you get the idea.

Challenge Bathurst V2

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 09:47:33 +0000

So I was fortunate enough to get talked into this event by Snowman. Not a particularly difficult sell. But it was a fair undertaking to come from Perth. But in my view it was a bucket list items to drive that track, and the opportunities to do it in your own car outside of entering door to door racing are few and far between. Sooooo, over I went with some much appreciated logistics help from the Snowman once on the ground in Vic.

I would echo all of Snowies comments re the organisation of the event. It was very well run. The circuit itself is epic. It was complete sensory overload on the first session as the reality of lapping Bathurst was hitting home while winding through the concrete walls and cresting Skyline and descending through the dipper. Seen so many times from in car footage during coverage of major races.

The vide below is a segment of one of my sessions. Sadly no telemetry like Snowman. Managed to get down to a 2.30.3. Was hunting a 2.29 but broke a rocker on the last day which robbed me of my last 2 sessions. Definitely have unfinished business there.

6.2 GT3 vs Cup Cars at Adelaide Motorsport Festival

Sun, 27 Nov 2016 22:54:32 +0000

This was a week ago but my video editing skills are poor (as you will see) so I take a while to get going. This is a great event and the Porsche Category was lightning overall (the slowest watercooled car was a 991 GT3...enough said!). Driving on the Adelaide F1 track against 991, 997 and 996 cups as well as a 991 RS was awesome fun, even though I saw the rear end of them sailing off into the distance! My quickest time was a 51.6, 996 cups were in the high 50s and early 51s and the 991 RS did a 51.2 so I was pretty happy with the old girl.

Challenge Bathurst

I know a few PFA's were at Challenge Bathurst. Was great to meet a few new ones. Awesome fun event and I was even fortunate enough to get a big shiny trophy for winning Class A (standard road cars) in the sprint. Here's a vid of my lap.

997 GT3 vs 981 GT4

Wed, 12 Oct 2016 03:21:03 +0000

Had a little chance to play with a 997 GT3 on track yesterday at Phillip Island. It was a heap of fun and really I thought this showed just how similarly matched they are.

I had another session with a 997.2 GT3 RS driven by a Pro driver (Scott Andrews) and it was much the same - only he was behind me after 1 lap. But Scott said he was impressed at how close the 2 cars were on track.

As promised in the GT3 vs GT4 thread - here's a hot lap from today without traffic. Car is on Pirelli Trofeo R road tyres.

Lakeside - General Practice (First Track Day)

Wed, 20 Jul 2016 01:34:23 +0000

Headed out on the 25 June for my first Track day in the 911 at Lakeside Speedway in Queensland.
I prefer my mountain roads and spirited street driving, but as with many before me, am realising to explore the car's limits, its better to do it in a controlled environment.

The 993 3.6 was rebuilt at the beginning of the year, so I was keeping my engine in mind while racing (and hence short shifting).
For those that dont know my car, it was driven regularly on Eastern Creek by the previous owner, with a setup reflecting regular track use (polyurethane bushes, solid strut mounts, brake balancer). It really felt at home on the track and allowed my noob ass to get away with some very bad transitions.

A lot was learned on the day, many things Id never experienced before on the street, heat cycling of tyres being the biggest.

Any feedback, commenting, good or bad is appreciated

996 GT2 In Car action

Sun, 27 Sep 2015 11:19:25 +0000

driver dynamics track day today. Car ran perfectly all day. Video below is early in the day still finding braking points and right gear. Great day, left mid afternoon after 5 sessions. JimTT was there with a bunch of guys in Lambos, Maclaren 650S, M4 etc. also a 996 GT3, a couple of 991s, 997 Turco, Cayman S & GTS. I got to chase Maclaren and Lambo during passenger laps, they both had enough mumbo to out drag me down the straight.

Boxster with a slight problem at the PCV Sandown 240 last week.

Rennsport - 360FLY

Tue, 03 May 2016 08:49:37 +0000

Ok - after seeing some footage from one on the weekend I grabbed one of the new 360FLY cameras and put it in my car for the last session.

So far the Youtube upload seems to lose a lot of the quality I get directly onto my phone and PC - but it still gives the idea of how cool this tech is for essentially the same price as a GoPro.

Sadly my lack of testing means the initial image is facing backwards - so just "spin" the image to see the front (and to watch cars go past!)

edgy makes a cameo too

First track outing in HK993 - Wakefield Park

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 10:48:44 +0000

First time on track (ever) and getting to know the 993 at Wakefield Park today... First 3 sessions went well and times dropped from a 1:22 first time out to a 1:13, then the rain descended, so didn't get any quicker...

Video of the 1:13.1 lap...

PCNSW Supersprint R3 Review

Mon, 27 Apr 2015 23:24:41 +0000

Hi Guys,

We had round 3 of the Porsche club NSW supersprint series held at Sydney Motorsport Park north circuit on the weekend. Being that we had some reasonable wet weather in the past week were hopeful the weather would be clear for the weekend, forecast was good, but unfortunately it rained on Saturday night leaving us with a damp track, It then rained again during the drivers briefing leaving the track with small rivers and standing water in parts. Quite tricky with the turbo to modulate the onset of torque compared to some of the GT3's linear power delivery. None the less still fun.

first session in the wet driving "gingerly" with a spin thrown in the mix between turn 6 and 7

https://youtu.be/Qrlc7hW8E0s

3rd session much faster track and managed a 1:09.9, not quite a PB but much happier with the time. Being able to use the power and grip chasing some GT3's always fun

Here are some pictures taken by Bruce on the day.

Regards

What's not to like?

Turn 1 at Eastern Creek...219kmh min and no brakes!

Mon, 27 Oct 2014 08:14:22 +0000

Those of you that have driven at Sydney Motorsport Park aka 'the Creek' will know that this is a scary corner at the best of times. Here's a short video taken at WTAC where Paul McKinnon goes through T1 without braking having hit about 250kph down the main straight. Not for the feint hearted!

A brisk lap around Wakefield Park...

Sun, 06 Jul 2014 23:35:26 +0000

Tried a bit of editing with some in car and around the track video taken a few weekends ago at Wakefield Park. Best lap of 58.5 was pleasing.
