Some cardboard and some white gaffa tape and mine could look like this.... not!

What a beast!

WAY · 07-20-2008, 05:34 AM

I want to make my car like that too. We can do with wider tracks. Haha

Only on the PS3, ha ha ha. I love cars and watching motor sport but haven't tracked/raced before. Did get a freeebie to go on the BM track day when we purchased the M though. Prolly go to Phillip Isl and have some fun.

Alpine* · 07-20-2008, 06:08 AM

Hey WAY, I've been keeping an eye on the posts re wheels for a 1series, maybe the answer is to get the flared arch kit like the car in the vid, the choice for wheels would then be endless! 19 x 10 ... not a problem!

It could be a good idea, however, once you raise the question I am sure you will find that there are a bunch of the guys (and gals) up the road in the big smoke who would join in!

Lets do it then! Dead serious, want too? who else wants to go?

harpoon · 07-20-2008, 07:50 PM

I will once I have the 135 and it's run in...say octoberish

WAY · 07-21-2008, 12:34 AM

I'll do it. Never been to wakefield. How far is it from Melbourne btw? I much prefer it if we go to Winton!

takahashi · 07-21-2008, 01:11 AM

Wakefield is in Goulburn NSW. About 8 hour drive from Melbourne. 4 1/2 hour from Albury.

I love to revisit Wakefield, now owned by Winton management. It is resurfaced now and wanna try it out. Not like the old goat track anymore.

WAY · 07-21-2008, 01:22 AM

Ok that is going to be a bit hard to bring Oliver along!

takahashi · 07-21-2008, 01:37 AM

To Wakefield... well. Accomodation is ok. Break it in a few trip. If I had a trailer, I would have tow my car with kids in the Kluger

Yep 135 · 07-21-2008, 07:47 AM

Its a good track, lots of off camber corners, plenty of areas to spin off (and be safe), stay in Goulbourn its about an hour from Canberra.
http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/
For all you people that have never tracked a car you should do it at least once and its great to do with with peers. you can be as fast or as slow as you want its just a great event, very safe too.
I'm not a track junkie but have done it a few times and Im certainly not the quickest but very challenging. Good for the heart!
Never been to Winton, been past the turn off a few times. Good track? might try that too. Where can you stay?

Im with you, after all the Grand finals (Go Carlton!!). Better weather here then. Gives me reason to change the tyres to something better after!

takahashi · 07-21-2008, 07:57 AM

Winton is very good track. You can stay at Benalla. 10 mins from the track and easy to get to. Plenty of places to stay there.

AussieRacer · 07-21-2008, 08:12 AM

If you can master Winton, you'll have no trouble with any track in Aust, except maybe Bathurst.....nothing can prepare you for run from over the top to forest elbow....

Winton has the unfortunate problem of being extremely tough on tyres due to plenty of tight turns and its coarse surface.

I tell you what, if I can get a decent flared arch kit I would do it! The car can really benefit from wider track.

I'll vouch for that. Wakefield Park's a great track, very technical, and plenty of safe run-off areas with nothing to seriously damage your car (unless you get way out of control on the last turn into the main straight). I've posted this elsewhere in the forum, but have a look at this video for a sample of what you can expect.

Yep 135 · 07-25-2008, 06:08 AM

Cool vid. 16's a good time. Should we organise something? Who wants to go? Who bringing the salad, the meat, the dessert, the wine, the what ever it takes?

Serious now, who's interested and maybe say sometime in October??
