Simply the best track I have driven on!

With your Tien suspension, semi-slick, huge AP racing brakes and ECU tuning, how can you be proud to beat me by a few tenth of a second in a stock standard car with very worn tyres? I would be ashamed Taka!

Nice pics guys!

Stand Proud Taka. With all your mods, you still have less power, less torque and have spent less that the porsche paid the dealer

I could have used a lot more. Go into turn 1 with Pete bar in the car with me and he starts telling me to feed the power on, then a second later says to come on feed the power on it's not going to bite and all I could do was tell him my foot was flat to the floor but poor Tubby had no more power to give

Was only able to maintain speed in that corner. Third gear just could not pull me up it any harder
