Honda vs Toyota trackday at Taupo on track 2. Run as a single car sprint day, with a MSNZ permit organized through a club official.

That track would give the Honda's the least advantage... doesn't mean they wont be quicker though :lol:

Neutral being giving cars with sticky tyres/aggressive suspension setups a huge advantage? ;)

That would be the same at any track though wouldn't it Dan? You still have to be able to corner fast at Pukekohe etc.

track 2 is good. last time I was down there on the full track it was the big straights that killed me.

I'd be keen as long as theres no date clash with real racing :lol: (Gravel)

Nah I'll be able to organize clubsport events soon, will have COW license by the end of June.

Would be best to aim for a time later in the year eh?

Sounds like this could be a good event if someone did organise it.

Taupo track 2, bah slow and boring! feels like nana speed going around there. Track 1 is much better. Puke is also awesome, I love the bumps and the fast corners :D.

There are some pretty fast Hondas out there, more so than toyotas that i've seen racing.

Exactly :) Which made me wonder why a track which reduces the advantage extra power would give counts as neutral? There are a few parts which come together to make a complete package.

Mostly because it's a central location and track 2 is more affordable than track 1.

Could also do manfeild but might lose all the Hamilton/auckland hondas and toyotas. Manfeild is good for power and handling so would be a good test.

I'd be keen on a track2 honda battle... all the other tracks are too fast for me to consider myself as "competing", more likely "participating"
Think of the slow cars... :lol:

Heh, you would give a lot of 1600cc Hondas a run for their money I think.
