A spot come up for Lev 1 on Monday so I jumped. I can't wait! Anybody else going? (I'll pull out the secret wave)

Tips

Is there air at the track?
Do they have fuel at the track of near by?
Do they have food at the track?

Speedtech will be there and they can provide air/fuel at the track. Last time lunch was provided with the day but the coffee caterers were also open.

I like that track too dude!

Hey ducobsessed, the 2-step was pretty good eh. I liked not being able to use brakes or gears. It makes you keenly aware of your entry speed lol

Yeah the long right into the front straight Oooooo, nice!

Jedi? Hardly! It takes a lot of practice to master the drills. For level 4 I mainly went back to some level 1 drills which needed some work....and they still do. That's what track days are for...

its soo hard not to give a squeeze on the "no brake" drills, especially into the blind downhill hair-pin at turn 5 :)

Sounds like you have your head screwed on mate.

Ha ha that's right, and the one just before it.

Oh man, I've got to go back to finish off the levels. They're bloody awesome.

The only other thing I would recommend would be to buy the TOTW #2 Book and DVD. They compliment themselves quite well.

Third that ;)


I reckon the esses are where it's at. Nothing like blasting over an off-camber, hill-cresting corner right on the money to get the juices flowing... then hauling it up (without brakes) for turn 4.

+1 - shame the "long track" will lose that sequence of turns (2-3). From what I could see the new section is based on fairly flat land.
