Closed road circuit, skidpan and rain. It is going to awesome!

First Nugget Nationals motorkhana event held at METEC in Kilsyth just 15 minutes from home! 

My best lap for the day at 1:35 on a RaceChrono track I whipped up whilst sitting in the car being anti-social and staying out of the rain.

It was surprisingly easy to make and worked really well. Though I had trouble uploading it to share.

I am pretty hopeless on the skidpan. But it was so much fun regardless! Thanks Jally for the external footage.

VSC Mode vs Traction Off mode. 

Floodway. Close enough.

Lots of 86 mates!

Indian file run through the course. It was a slow cruise *waits for slow twins jokes*

The skid pan! I need one of these!

Weather for the most part of the day. Quite scenic.

I might be in front, but I'm miles behind.

Should have closed my window. Rookie mistake.

Some people take photos of their clean cars...

... I take photos of her dirty

A bit of homework the night before. Just an excuse to draw cock & balls.

Nugget Nationals Winton - Easy PB is still a PB

This was the first track day with the new brakes and tyres combo so the 3 second improvement came easier than usual. If in doubt, just throw money and mods at it!

Stock as a rock: 1:47.4220

Better brakes/tyres: 1:44.1580

This update is 3 months late, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. But a huge thanks as always to the crew and Nugnats for another great event, and to Steur Imagery for some awesome pics!

Attacking the S. Love this shot!!

Why is it I can always see a few tenths when watching the video but had no idea on the day?!

Feels (and looks) like it corners fairly flat. Not bad for OEM suspension.

Forgot who I got this shot from, but thanks! WTB wing!

How the RS3s looked after some abuse

Kicked up a lot of dust and muck in general all over myself, and check out how dusty the PMU pads are.

Drained the battery on the GoPro when I forgot to turn it off so I was charging between sessions.

Some random pre-Winton work I did....

Flash back: My own fire extinguisher mount. Just another Import Monster one.

Battery charger cable fitted and found the perfect little gap to tuck it into.

Investigating the metallic ping led me to adjusting the handbrake.
