Looks a bit wet, did you have the track to yourself? can't see any other cars.

went with the RX8 guys.

only about 20 cars all up into 3 groups

this was 1st session, only 3 cars (the rest of the group not ready)

not cheap to go witht he RX8 guys, but a very mature group with rules and there isn't 12~18 cars on at once..

I know that on Eastern Creek the surface was not particularly grippy in the wet one time when I tracked the bike and that was with tyres I was confident with in the wet on normal roads

i think the falken 425s i had were not up to scratch in the wet.

but the AWD system compensated for it nicely.

controllable slides all round.

the SI drive helped as it gave me the chance to start in I mode then move up to S and later on S#

I'll be fanging the MGA around Winton on 8-Feb (assuming the gearbox is ready to go back in this weekend).
I hope it's a bit drier than that!

It's an MG Car Club competition event.
If you have a CAMS licence and membership of a CAMS affiliated car club I might be able to swing you an invitation.
Entry was $90 in 2007, probably $100 now.
