Just some times from last weekend. Wakefield: Worn out Hoosiers R6's with one rear tyre wall cracked all the way around, poor alignment, too much rear bias. Porsche GT3 Cup car was running 67's all day. We were running 68-69's. WTAC: New Kuhmo's(finally)rear bias problems still and numerous other issues with handling, driving lines etc and limited time on track. 1.49.7.

Here is a link to footage at Wakefield Park. Lap times were ok with plenty of potential. I was quicker than the EVO's that were there that day so that was a treat!!

Very nice! ...even with the bad tyres, toe link and brake bias? Always good to see MR2s smashing something with "superior" grip! lol

Nice! I've never been to Wakefield, so it's awesome to see a video which shows what the track is like. Also, now I can see what people mean when they say that there are no walls anywhere near the track! There were some good spins in there too, I'm glad you included a mistakes section

No worries Rob! Had a laugh with a few friends watching the vid last week! I did get sick of the spins in the end. The car was that bad I was expecting to have a spin on every corner.. It can only improve as will my driving.

So your first day on track in a MR2 was on a wet day. That would have been quite a challenge. When are you heading back to Wakefield?

The Kuhmos are a good choice. I was talking with Paul the Kuhmo race tyre distributor(fsport) over the weekend. He has 245/35/17 for $300 each. The front are a similar price, so you can have a new set of nice tyres for about $1200. If you need some help in prep, drop a line and I will help out if I can. Im sure my trusty assistant Suruk will be there too! I may come down for a drive that day too
