Very cool. I knew it was on because of the base motorsports club. My wife excused me to pop into work and take photos. (ahem... first wedding anniversary) I have just finished my posting at 5 Sqn so it was neat to see a sea of red, yellow and black around the grey orions. Pretty hard to get them all in shot with my dinky little camera though.

Loving those Ferrari pics and the F40 still does it for me.
Yeah John, might be safer to just tell people that you are a p*rn director!
For those who missed it the first time (with DailyMotion removing it), here's that 996T spin clip from last Tuesday's fantastic RSG Last of the Summer Rum wet track day:

As mentioned, I almost saved it - should probably have given it less steering and more gas after the initial catch. At the time though I was already pretty happy just to keep it on track and slow it down.
It started because I fed power in a little too early in an effort to hang with the guys on R-comps when the track reopened after an oil spillage had been kitty littered. The moment the rears lose traction the revs surge up and she steps out. Once the back had started sliding off the narrow drier racing line and the front had to follow to catch the initial oversteer, options were pretty limited as traction just plummeted. Same spot that Macca spun at, around the same time.

Blimmen heck Walt you did well to almost hold that. Almost looks like you needed to get back on the gas just towards the end?

Thats a great effort Walt and sure is fun to watch. I was the next lap Im guessing as it seemed from the footage wetter still and I would argue the tyre of choice was roadies not R comps for group 3 as we seemed to attract the rain. With 2WD chassis I dont think I could even have attempted to wrestle it back like you almost did and once across the oil line I was along for the ride. Call it over exuberance (or stupidity!). Yours is a great video tho!

The biggest issue here was that grip dropped by at least 30 percent as she came off the dry line, when I was already maxed out so I couldn't give it much gas to help stabilise the car. My other Turn 10 spin some years ago was in the dry, from entering it much too hot at the PCNZ Sprints. I limit braked to the point of unsticking the rear then got on the gas and power slid the entire sweeper before muffing the exit of the drift and looping out in a similar way to how this one ended, and at the same point on track.
Macca, R-comps stay faster than streets until it's wet enough to have some standing water. Once it gets crazy wet, where the surface of the track looks like a lake, then streets will be considerable faster - eg for that one downpour on Turn 10 later in the day that had them waving yellow, or Taupo on last year's North Island Track tour.

So spoiled for choice we were this weekend! Two 2K Cup races, a Ron's Run, the photoshoot run and who knows what else plus some fine weather to top it all off.
Not me, boys. Got overzealous eliminating my Great Southern Motorway Vacuum Nozzles and chewed up the whole weekend.
I just couldn't resist cleaning/coating/waxing pieces, brushing & zincing screws that looked nasty, and straightening out radiator fins.
Very happy with the finished product, though! Ignore my license plate munge 😎 wishing I hadn't mentioned to the CFO the cost of official euro plates.

Dang ole app will only let me post one photo.
This is how much junk I pulled from one side. This is in addition to the fistful of cigarette butts (grr) and random crap I pull out on a bi-weekly basis. Insane. Wasn't looking forward to the day I grabbed a hypodermic.
