I'm keen to head to winton for an open practice day or something. I haven't been to a track for a year now because all my money keeps going on other stuff but should be right to head out in the next few months though would be fun to head out with a few of you guys if your keen. Drop me a message next time your going and i'll try to make it out. I don't go out too hard though, just out for a bit of fun mainly because of the costs. haha I drop heaps of time through the chicane at Winton though I only take it at 80% so there is no chance of tagging that wall.

I love the sweeper at Winton. holding 150kph around it is awesome in Dirk :)
 
Wakefield i find more challenging, but after this years MTC i feel like Wakefield and Winton are both my home tracks.

Yeah I like that sweeper too, I get around that at about the same speed on Federal RSR's. I haven't tried some proper semi slicks yet but would love to see how much of a change it makes to the corner speed through the high speed corners.
If you like that corner you'd love Philip island, most of the corners are high speed.

I must be losing a bit of time through the sweeper. I have to top 3rd gear to hit 150 and I know I wasn't doing that.

I had decent speed through the chicane though. Really enjoy pushing it there. Brake just before the 50m marker and turn in with a zero counter slide. Full throttle once I reached the transition from left to right and gas all the way out onto the concrete near the wall. Was hitting the 5500 rpm acis point just on the exit.

Turn 2 was fun too. The camber made it feel like nascar.
