Ahhh right. I didn't take any pictures....
The road was smooth and didn't cut up badly, there was only one corner that consisted of largish rocks. A good range of corners/straights tight & open well cambered & not not so well cambered.
I was supprised that my car didn't really feel like it lacked power, even though the hill was steepish.
A very fun day with no moments... although I wasn't aiming to have any

32 entries.
The road was in great nick and held up well, especially considering the rain that had been thrown at it all week.
I think the fact that the forest has been logged allowing wind & sun to get in there helps a lot.
Because of the open-ness since logging we anticipated the road to be faster than before and be more 1300cc friendly.
I haven't checked the times so it will be interesting when I do.
1st & 2nd were Nathan Thomas in his WRX & Aaron Cook in the Jazz.
Shows the benefit of that NZRC competition raising their game a bit.
