rikkir Vid from my track day... thanks everyone for your help :)
Nice driving, not bad for your first day! Lines are looking pretty solid in my opinion. If anything I'd try to work on some "bad habits" such as resting one hand on the shifter or shuffling the wheel unless absolutely nescessary. :) I try to go there quite regularily and would love to see some more MR2:s! Ohh, and I'm the guy in the AW11 you linked btw. :)

Thanks for the feedback :-) Hopefully I'll catch up with you one day. Are you going to the MTC in January?

Just found out about it thanks to a little Googling, fairly new and not overly active on this forum yet. :) Sounds like an awesome event, would love to go! However I think the combination of work, the old man visiting over from Europe and the distance, lack of trailer & car to tow with makes it a bit difficult. Next one up for me is should be the practice day on Dec 6 if I get my parts for fitting my wheels till then.

I'm hoping to join the Celica and Supra guys again in September at Mallala next year too. I don't have a trailer either, i drive my car to the events and back again..... Mallala is a 1600 km round trip, and Wakefield Park is a 4000 km round trip.... I don't know what I'll do if i have a breakdown lol.

You will be fine Rick, a group of us did it exactly the same way last yr to MTC. Providing you are not abusing your car on the track, you shouldnt have a problem... that being said, crap does just go wrong at times. It will be a lot ease this yr, as Im trucking my car over. That will provide Piece of mind when on the track... was always thinking & very conservative on track last yr because of that exact reason.

Hey Timmy - no he didn't make it out there. He had unsuspected car issues.

Ahh too bad. Hope it works out and I'll get to see you guys next time. As for the initial topic I run 23/25 psi cold front/rear on the AW11 with 205/50 R15 Yokohama A048.
