FTO AUSTRALIA

Planning to head down to Wakefield Park in the next week or so for a test day. At Lawso's birthday I managed a 1:12 flat just warming up so keen to push it into the 1:11's or maybe even a 1:10

Currently available dates are next Thurs / Fri (10 & 11th) or the following Thurs (17th). I'm thinking next Thurs would be better as the following weekend (19th / 20th) is the final round of the NSW State Championships so will probably be very busy on track.

So who's coming?

Edit: Anyone want to come down and help me out for the day? Transport food and drinks included

I wish I could come

Jump on a plane

flat out at work so I can't make it .

Um, aza, what country do we live in?

Weather for Thursday is looking a bit wet, so will probably go down Friday now.

racecars all loaded ready to go

Is anyone coming down tomorrow?

Would love to but am flatout at work

And I cant take a sickie, cause Im covering for the boss!

Awesome day at the track! U c**nts are missing out big time

There's hardly anyone here, 5 street cars and 4 race cars, and no open wheelers, so we're going back to back 20min sessions, tonnes of track time

And I've already cracked a 1:10

First session was fucked as I forgot to set my throttle settings in the eMu.
Second session did a 1:11.8 (first PB for the day!).
Third session did a 1:11.5 (second PB for the day!!).
Fourth session... 1:10.9!!

Brakes are still fucked though, overheating after about 3 laps

And for some reason the f**king eManage Ultimate is working today! Don't figure

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, and slower as the track got hotter.

Sadly my incar camera didn't save the 10.9 run

1.10.9 sh*t that's fast.
.

Thanks aza, I reckon it's easily good for a 9 now. The eManage is working nicely just need to tune it up. That should put me in the 9's. And if I could afford a new set of tyres I reckon it'd do an 8, maybe even a 7 Will need to start tweaking the suspension setup first though

1.10! Faaark!

What have you part timers been running on the track?

The best I have done is a high 1:14 with new rubber.
But the last two days out there have been 1:16's +, due to needing new back rubber and knowing it so not pushing the car.

Sorry for thread hijacking.

I'm very interested to know have anyone gave intercooler spay squirter a go? By locating it on the radiator.
Seen it been done in the 80's during the summer time. The windscreen squirter is relocated to the to top
section of the radiator with irrigation nozzle for nice even spary. Add a dash of methol in the washer bottle for extra cooling effect.
Thinking about giving this old school set up a go when the heat kicks in.

Hats off on the performance

Well out of an FTO that is a f**king fast time, also Shane knows how to drive right on the edge and as he has said before he could still get more out of it .
