Evo vs WRX went well, apart from a stall on the first autotest... i was hung over as fark!

Car ran perfectly all day, once i realised i couldnt hand brake the tight autotest hairpin in second on rcomps. Second run round went much better with more screeching. The hill climb was interesting to say the least, a pity we only had one go at it, I'm sure I could have picked up a few seconds. On the long straight i pussied out at 7000rpm in 5th, which equals about 195km/hr but I could have braked much deeper into it.

As for the track, i previously have taken turns 1 and 2 about 50% throttle in 4th, this time out I grew some balls and decided WOT in 5th was the only way. Managed to hang onto the car and decided now thats the only way to go. My camera was having a baby in the afternoon so i only managed to get a few runs recorded. Watch in HD!

Auto test, 2nd attempt


Hill Climb, first and only attempt



First of 4 goes at the track, before i grew nuts. Got sent out last in the group and was caught in my warmup lap by Steve (nauli) who was on his hot lap. Took a while for me to notice him in the mirrors but i think he scored an extra lap out of it anyway




Also on the way up thought i had shat a turbo or worse, dropped a shim etc. Long story short the up-pipe heat sheild was loose
