I have a LSD and a good torque band in second gear. The wild power comes on at 60km/hr in second. I may actually be ok if I just use 2nd gear from start to finish. I want to see if Paul can steer it with the power around the corners.

Think of it like a boat - my fat *** will provide necessary ballast.

I think I'll just be watching too - that beast can spin its wheels in the dry on a rough chip road without trying.......... wet, polished concrete - you will win the doughnuts competition...........

Its a great way to find out if your LSD is actually operable (unlikely at high mileage unless its been serviced with new clutch pack).

The key will be keeping it on boost.

Make sure you get some pictures! And stay away from the concrete barriers!

It will all be a blur, albeit an off boost blur as I don't really get boost in second gear until 50km/hr. Not sure about the LSD, it appeared to be working about 5,000 km ago.

That's great news Matt, looking forward to it. You may like to consider registering on the Rennsport Gruppe site, i.e. http://www.europacific.co.nz/playday

Damn, the weather forecast is indeed looking pretty average for Sunday. Might be the first time I try the semi-slicks in the wet...

I must have Paul's spot. Now confirmed for the 29th. Are 15 working days enough time to get the car on the track? I hope so. Apparently Steve delivered the cams this week.

Thanks, great find. I wondered what happened to the shots that person was taking on the day.
