Your brakes will be cooked very quickly if you don't go easy on them. Premium Brake owners and above will get the best bang for their buck here.The next couple of sections each lasting well over 50 - 100kms each will be very tight and windy again. First and second gear will be the only gears you will be using most of the way.Hardly any of the corners are signposted with recommended cornering speeds, and there are no guard rails to stop you going over the edge.The reason why I'm saying all this, I've noticed a lot of people are bringing their partners. You need to be absolutely sure that they do not get car sick normally. Not only will the weekend be ruined for the both of you, but the health implications will really put a strain on things.These are the windiest roads on the Australian Mainland, we need to be very careful.

And yes, I will of course be bringing a extra stash of MB tinnies...... Whaddya reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
