spiller Posted 28February, 2022 Report Share Posted 28February, 2022 I hear ya @LeeM. I have not been feeling it lately either. In some ways it was good to get out Sunday morning but the feeling didn’t go away. First world problems. @Rick V I would definitely be up for a drive within the next few weeks. Let’s get something happening. @Shedpest @Cam Arnott @sjm @wilson59 Shedpest, Rick V and hugh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been driving most weekends for 4 or 5 years on and off, and the past year has been a really shit one, so I've just let it take a back seat in life for a while.

I MUCH prefer Mallala to The Bend, as it not only has history, its just a better place for spectators who can be close up to the action. Turn one on the mound next to the pits is a great place to watch. The food isn't exactly cheap, yet most places are the same, but I'm happy to pay for greasy food and drinks. Let me know when the historics are on and I'll seeya there for sure sjm and Dalai 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see people try to walk through the garages and watch / talk to the drivers in other events! Will let you know if I head over. It's on the 23rd-24th April this year. sjm and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 12March, 2022 Report Share Posted 12March, 2022 Probably seen as sacrilege by some, but I drove the GT3 to The Bend Thursday, only to leave it in the carpark! ….. then my Son, Tom & I each jumped into a Mustang and drove some fast laps around a shortened circuit. Reckon there’s nothing better than flogging someone else’s car! LeeM, Joz, Shedpest and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 18March, 2022 Report Share Posted 18March, 2022 Great weekend to get out and about. Started our 3 dayer at the Westgate servo…. Dave/ ozvino taking his 1982, 924 Turbo out in its first run after having it in storage for 10 years . So 3 old shitters and 3 Caymans. Headed off to the back roads of the Bellarine Peninsula Had lunch and fuel up at Apollo Bay ….from lunch it was a Great Ocean Road drive to Port Campbell for our first overnight stay. Around 400k for the day Roads were very quiet, and we had a great day of driving. TwoHeadsTas, sjm, P-Kay and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjm Posted 20March, 2022 Report Share Posted 20March, 2022 First time out at The Bend on the international circuit. 997 held up really well, gundo mod exhaust in full song was brilliant. Brakes and tyres survived surprisingly well, amazing track to drive 😁. The only issue was oil temp was over 120c, weather was mild/warm 27c but full sun. Car is stock, no third radiator or deep oil sump. Curious to what others oil temps get to! All in all a great day even with fuel prices the way they are.

If only I was in the financial position to score a GT3. Saying that a very nice 996 Cup car met with the concrete at the end of the main straight.
