I think it's a 2WD thing John :-p

Michael you forgot to add the Le Mans sound track when being overtaken by a 993 to your list ha ha!

In hindsight Buba and I should have sandbagged the 3rd race and then gone hell for leather in the last round....

Imagine what it would have been like if Paul hadn't managed to drop the time bar from 1:25...

Kev knows of one with a trailer, lighter than Petes and maybe $20k. Situated in Levin.

Mission accomplished... the last lap of the last session was a personal best, so very happy about that. As predicted most of the time I'd lost was in turn 1.
Awesome job Michael - feels good aye!

It was - that was a seriously fun race. I only just got swamped by 4 of the GT3s up that last straight but finished top of the 44's. Adrenalin rush++ !!

Michael N's driving is simple clean lines - really smooth. That car is either very light or has some extra horses - or both.

- Beating a Cayman to turn 1 off the line (OK I think he took pity on me)
- Passing a 964
- Finishing the weekend with a PB
Caymans and 944's are good friends....

I know of an orange one for sale, slightly damaged, price adjusted accordingly. Great car!

I will be staying out at Hampton Downs again this weekend. If anyone wants a bed out there then let me know. Similarly, all welcome to watch the action from the apartment over the weekend. I also have a few spare tickets if anyone wants one.

I will be out there from Thursday afternoon through to Sunday night. Not sure what cars I will be running yet, Cayman in Pirelli and enduro, and maybe another in Porsche Classic.

I'll be out there on Saturday as a spectator. It would be good to watch the dual sprints etc from the apartment, thanks.

I'll stay Thurs night if poss? Will be going to the membership meeting to hear what its all about.

Cayman should get a good run against some of the class A cars - will be good to see how it performs.

Sounds good. Just come down to the car when you arrive and I can give you a key to the apartment

I'm interested to know if shared memberships are an option. Looking at my work schedule I can make the 2k cup BBQ on 13/3, but everything else, whether RSG or 2k Cup clashes with an offshore trip. 2016 is looking like a lean track year.

I'll check the programme to catch as many events as possible, the Cayman could be a bolter.

944 goes good, not a major to fix, pretty straight already! Cayman will be fun.

I have registered for the GT membership briefing so will attend that with you and there is plenty of room to stay.

Chris - would it be possible to stay Saturday night please?

P.s - just having a good laugh with the painters about your mirrors and poles that have been removed?

Sounds like you brought the Play Boy mansion or a 'swinging' retreat??

The good thing about the Cayman is that it should be a B class car! Breakout for B class is 1:12:99.

Saturday night is good. Dan and Rob staying Saturday night so you will be on the air bed, nice and comfortable, especially after a few drinks!

The new house has much history , I would describe its former life as a swinging retreat, with its own full on dungeon!
