For some reason it was hard to get traction on the day even with Rosie's low power and running new AO50's !

I'm going to buy some soft compound tyres for my next set. That should help it a lot.

There wasn't much engine sound because the camera was on the roof. There was a lot of wind noise which is why I chose to use music this time.
This one has some engine sounds with the new setup -

That's such a quick lap but should see it into the 1.03's in 2019.

Nice video Glenn. Would have been nice to hear the car though, anyway of turning off the music?

Some disappointing news regarding the Monday trackday.
The car spent two days with the tuner but was unable to solve a problem with fluctuating AFR's which stopped the tune from being competed so I cannot run the car.
We checked all the usual suspects: compression/cam control/injectors,etc but ran out of time to solve the problem so I will be just coming down to say hello.

Bring another car?

I don't have a spare car. After spending 100 hours trying to get it ready then having this annoying gremlin stop me in the 12 hour, I am happy to just come along to catch up and work on a plan for 2019.

I would love to be at the track again but with the front intercooler removed to fit the air conditioner condenser on the AW11 I have yet to think about different ways of intercooling. The GT SW20 is running but still needs to be tuned as well as a intercooler to be installed. Looks like next year for me.

i used a a2a core i converted to a heat exchanger for my w2a setup that sat out front where the grill was when i still had a/c. worked great.

What was the previous record?

It continues to drop year by year thanks to the MR2 Trackday Challenge. This one one of the many positives of this meet.
In 2017 Justin from Victoria in his WTAC MR2 Spyder raised the bar substantially with a 66.148. If he didn't have a failure of the ring gear on his clutch, he would have been in the 65's without too much hassle.

This is Glenn's progression of the full circuit from 2014
2017- 67.1
2016- 68.242
2015- 69.4894
2014- 68.47
So Glenn has evolved very nicely over the years.

Ken Matsuda did a 67 in 2014 which held the record until 2017

In 2010 I set the record at 68.1 with a scrappy lap which was held until Ken reset the bar in 2014.
