Forecast for Saturday 34 degrees. Sunday 36 :shock:

Sounds like last year. It was 50 degrees on the track.

Just need the rain to spice things up like last year as well. I really enjoyed the rain (and hail :shock:

) last year. I dont think I would have though if our car was still running; it wouldve been nerve-wracking!

Yesterday's action, from McPhillamey's Park.

It WAS very hot, so staying cool and hydrated was essential.

Today's position, staying in touch with the action on the ipad live feed.

Thanks to Joe for organising this again this year! Great work.

Also great to see everyone yesterday. Phil, I hope I haven't corrupted you into trading in the mx5

Nice to meet you Mazmad, took me a while to track you down as I was looking for an NB, thanks for my 1st ride in an RX8.
It was bloody hot, on top of the mountain in the shade, was the best spot, we spent a lot of time in the grandstand in the shade, then cooling off in the a/c of the wagon (with the Engel in the back) at the chase or on the way to watch at mcPhillamy.
It's a great event and will get even better- interesting a tweet from the USA wanting to enter an MX5 next year. :shock:

hope it's someone with decent car.
I thought the Radicals would break the 2 mins lap but their 270 kph Vmax would not let them match the GTs 2.03

It would take a lot to make me trade my NA
