Sorry its been a while between posts, but there hasn't really been anything exciting to report.... We have had two race days recently.

First was a Club day at our local Levels Raceway & we had the car seriously under sprung and over geared, resulting in stalling in 2 of the 3 starts and in the last race cooked the clutch trying to get started. Still posted a reasonable laptime of 1.07.332
Couple of pics here...







Second outing was at Ruapuna for the Premier Championship Series where Chris run in "Production GT" class on DOT rated tyres. A boost problem meant only 6th in qualifying, then a harsh call meant starting race 1 from the pit lane, but still managed to come through the field to win. race 2 was reverse grid and another win & class lap record of 1.31.519, but the boost problem came back for race 3 so just cruised round to finish. Happy with the results considered we haven't even started making changes to the suspension set-up yet, plus we were slightly undergeared for Ruapuna, meaning I had to get out of the throttle before the end of the main straight, plus I was struggling to reach full throttle (as the video shows) so a few wee issues to get sorted. Videos of the test sessions are below, the camera didn't work during the races

and a video from my car (Corolla DX KE70 Sedan with a 7AGTE 20 valve engine). The MR-S shows up at 32 seconds into the video.



For those in NZ, the races from Ruapuna will be on the Gillette Motorsport TV show on January 8th 2012.
