The resurfacing totally wrecked "The Kink". It' way too wide now, no fun at all.

But yes, the constant elevation changes and off camber corners makes it a ball.
Watching videos of the 80's & 90's Touring Cars leaves me flabbergasted.

It certainly still gets my full attention at 175-180 km/hr. :shock:

The widening of the kink hasn't changed it for me, the Zed needs a lot of track at 200+km/h and the bumps are enough to throw the car a couple of feet across the track, certainaly not a place i would want to leave the track at any speed.

I must admit in the NA at 150-160km/h flat biscuit it was pretty easy to drive through on full noise, as long as I wasn't next to anyone.

Monday afternoon 11 April 2011 at Qld Raceway Willowbank. Hoping for a dry day. :mrgreen:

Dry or wet just good to get out on the track

If it is wet will be good to see how the five runs in the wet
And a chance to look at a wet setup on car

Oops, I totally thought it was at the end of the month. Looks like I'll miss another one.

Gawd!
Getting sick of this rain!

"Monday Showers developing. Late storm."

Looks like a wet crossover

Should do national circuit no cross over if wet

No thanks to the National layout - only good for wearing out brakes for no fun.

+1

We ran that for the charity make a wish day.
Boring as bat sh*t and very hard on brakes.

Well it wasnt the greatest weather.
But hell it was fun.
Never seen so many spinning 5s in one day! :lol:

Even so, still had a blast.
Thank Mark for running a great day with very trying circumstances.

How to negotiate turn 6 ?

What a great day! Sure it rained and I kept having spins and traction problems until I got my tyre pressures right but I had a great time! Many thanks to those who made it happen!
