I've tracked my car at Manfield in NZ a few times before - brilliant track - mix of fast sweepers and tight hairpins. I also live out in the country a bit and (if you know it you'll know what I'm talking about) have pushed my car through the Numinbah range a few times, but at 90%. I don't want to go to Lakeside and push to 90% as I already know how that feels and how the car behaves. I want to take it that little bit further and see what it will do! And I've watched cars on all 3 tracks on youtube etc and QR seems like a few straights joined by some interesting corners. I'm after G forces, track G forces and times - without the punishing barriers, not top speed runs. Wakie will tell me (if I'm on the pace) whether my car is as quick as a tuned DC2R, a stock 135i, an XR6T or a Diahatsu Sirion!
And I can look back through times or magazines to get an idea, no matter what the weather! I'd drive further if I had to to get that!
Good ideas, though. I can see your perspectives!
Wakefield is an good track for beginners. Nothing much can go wrong in terms of hitting the wall unless your being really stupid.
