F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 5m 8d Location: North Brisbane Posted 09/05/06 10:29 AM Share Posted 09/05/06 10:29 AM Geez Paul, that was quick!!It was a lot of fun and the little comp they had was a motorkhana - I am wearing my new FPV hat (my prize) to bed tonight now! Generally a street car will feel slow around a race track but after today, I have a whole new respect again for the power my car really has. J-u-s-t leaning on the throttle balancing drifting around sweepers in fourth gear at really silly speeds showed up how poor the brakes are when trying to pull it up. Cameron McLean (ex V8 Supercar - known him for a while) was astounded how hard it went, mesmorised is probably closer.I can highly recommend the new Yokohama Advans. Absolutely stunning tyre with superb grip, awesome. The Toyo Proxes (T1R's) on the back held up well too with a little harder job to do. Third gear drifting through the middle chicane was plenty fun. You go through at around 80km/h to top third out approx 160. Sideways to probably 120 is pretty awesome in a road car.It was a great day and certainly much more fun when you go with other nuts from this Forum!Thanks for the company guys!

RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 11m 19d Posted 09/05/06 12:32 PM Share Posted 09/05/06 12:32 PM I totally agree with Paul's and Shane's comments.It was a fantastic day, which was only made better by the company of other members from this lunatic assylum. I think all 4 boys from this forum did very well compared to a lot of the people there today. We were all willing to push the limits of the cars as well as ourselves, and have a crapload of fun in the process.Heel-toeing down from 4th to 3rd from warp 6 whilst stomping the brakes for a chicane is something I won't forget in a hurry. Power slides onto the back straight at full noise in third - priceless. Doing small track motorkhana's can sometimes make these cars feel a little cumbersome, but put them on a race track and it all makes sense. The extra herbs under the hood really transform the car into a track weapon, which can be steered with the throttle as well as the wheel. If you haven't been on one of these days, then get yourself on one. They do take bookings for other vehicles besides just the FPV's.
