Round 6 took place at Eastern Creek, a flowing high speed circuit with climbs and descents located in NSW, Australia.

It was a beautiful day for racing and a full grid of around 80 cars turned up ranging from Open wheeler PRBs to a super quick old school VW Beetle. There were 5 members from the Honda Car Club present.
I was abit nervous as I waited my turn, setup of the car was almost where we wanted to be now as tested in the previous rounds. Would the lessons learnt hold up at this circuit?
Run 1 was slow as I took the opportunity to sight the track and re-aquaint myself with the circuit.The car felt good and I was running lap times equivalent to my previous PB with little effort. A testament to the wide adjustability of the mFactory components.
As the day went by, everyone got quicker and quicker, The Honda Boys were doing really well with Tinkerbell and myself lapping well in our classes
Enjoy some of the Vids....

At the end of the day...I managed to secure the class win for the mFactory Car sitting in 34th overall in a field of 74 cars. Those open wheelers are untouchable! Maybe one day.
Much thanks to mFactory and Toda for the incredible support they've provided all season
Pictures:
1) The MFactory Oil Cooler - very efficient! Running on the street here in winter, it kept the oil too cool at 70 degrees. On the track, Oil temps hovered at 100 to 110degrees.
