Just thought i'd let you guys know I took the 06 up to wakefield on friday open practice day.
Was very impressed with the car overall. Tyres and pads were not up to extrem driving but the chasis and steering were exceptional. Practically no understeer for a stock car is amazing. Obviously there was heaps of roll on the 2nd gear corners but anyting 3rd gear was ok.
Doing 1:22's - 1:24's the car could easily keep within the best lines but when I went for it and hit pb of high 1:20's pads and tyers only lasted 3 laps.
Was last minute trip cause I'm on leave atm and didn't bring camera or anything. Might buy the pics that wakie takes though and post that up.
I've heard of Euros doing 1:18-1:19's......i'd put that down to better tyres on the euro (better driver?....hahhahah). Some one correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm come'n back with new tyres after the tyres were out......will defly get top spec tyres/pads.
Just a not for you guys that are thinking of tracking be prepared to see the nice new caliper look go to an off oxides grey look ..........the brakes were smoking badly by the end of each session. Will be changing brake fluides at 10,000km service.
Anyone know if we run the same pads as typeS or anything else out there?
Rick Bates was there doing some practice as well. He was laping in low 1:06's..........hhhaha fark that corolla was eating up everything on the track.
