We enter the World Time Attack

In August we entered the fabulous World Time Attack at the stunning Eastern Creek race track in western Sydney.

As our car was in standard trim, powertrain wise, we knew we were only going to make up numbers. But there is something humbling going to an event you know you can't win. So we did.

It was a great weekend, and Ive never really ever had the chance to drive this track, despite living just 45 minutes from it.

With stock street tyres, the Kumho XS's, treadwear rating 180, the winning appropriate tyre was definitely the Hankook RS3's, soft, grippy and everyone that had them had the power to really use the grip, and a basically our motor was fully stock so we ran around the track doing the best we can, we were of course way outclassed as there were other cars, about 40 of them, with bigger turbos, bigger wheels, stroker motors, carbon panels etc, but being we didnt want to change the specs of our car from tarmac rally spec for just one event, we went there to fully enjoy ourselves.

Enjoy the Video done by my friend Chris Nichols. It's really well done! 

A big thanks to Mark at Gt Pumps for the Trackmate data logging system and fantastic elig brake pads, Meek for entering us (and paying the entry fee) and Merlin who was on hand to read the ECU data to make sure the engine was running sweet all the time.
