Good circuit, plenty of various motorsports disciplines available (and hard parking). So lets see some MR2's out there! It's also a lot cheaper then the speeding fine you'll get for overtaking slow cars on Mt Nebo

Looking good! Rewire the engine bay loom and install a MegaSquirt over Easter and this will line up nicely. Hopefully Norwell is 100km from home so the 3rd strike of bad luck towing will be free as well.

Unfortunately it falls on the same day as our planned Run for April (third Sunday of each month) so can't be there. Knightrous

What's the scrutineering like at these events, are they fussy about mild oil leaks?
Also do you know if there are any spots left at this late stage?

I don't think there is any real scrutineering, but probably a similar situation to Slidewize.

So how was Norwell, did they have the turntable running on the skidpan?
I'm glad I didn't commit to this, I didn't have my car back together until 10:45pm last nigh and the rear alignment is a little out of whack. Hopefully there will be another day at Norwell later in the year.

AWESOME DAY! Second best track day I've ever been to (MTC2013 takes the cake), Norwell is a great circuit, lot more technical then I thought and certainly requires some brass bollocks on some corners. Dave, Dom and myself all competed and set some respectable times compared to some of the cars we were up against. Considering this was Downshifts first track day, it had a great atmosphere, DJ played all day, skid pan ran all day, good facilities, cruise session was nice to take passengers out for a tour and we only had a couple of cars go off the track for the day (including yours truly in the last session). I'm keen for their next track day and will be waiting with cash in hand! Anyway, here are some videos (Still uploading, so be patient if they don't load). Session 1 - http://youtu.be/5X7t2OhYRuASession 2 - http://youtu.be/1Gqlou2wfU4Session 3 - http://youtu.be/0uZK2TtzTKISession 4 - http://youtu.be/8fRmCcgO97sSession 5 - http://youtu.be/Z0VlTtKOY7k Lap times - Dom (D16) and I (D18) were in Group D and Dave (F26) was in Group F

Would be great to have some more mr2's out on the track days, i know i am now hooked.
These cars can really hold their own, Aarons 1.077 sure proved that.
As far as the event went you would have had no idea it was their first event, was profesional and overalll a ton of fun. These guys put on more events and im in for sure.
