I'm going - hopefully it doesn't rain so I can actually test my bloody slicks finally lol

if it does rain I'll just hope my cheap Chinese rear tires aren't as plasticy as the price of them suggests haha

is it just me or does the recent TVNZ footage suggest that the sweeper bumps have gotten worse?

There is a Playday on the 11th May.
And there is also a track day on the 1st June (Queens bday), organised by Henry. Some MEAN cars go to this one

I'll be going to both of these.

The normal test days seem to be kinda boring. The private events are much better :)

I want to go to a test day purely so I can learn the track at least a little before I go out with other cars! Last thing I want is to be unfamiliar with the track when there's other peoples pride and joys' on the track lol

Maybe I will come on the 11th actually as well.... :) Although it's a Monday....hmmmm I'll see if I have leave owing :)

How much does the playday normally cost?

yep, think it was that cunningham (or something) guy whose leading the series.

Mind you they are open wheelers so would expect the to be a bit more fickle (I am assuming this)

Those cars move with any sort of bump cos they are like go karts.

I dont mind the bumps at all, they feel pretty good to me :).
I actually use a bump over the hill to maneuver the car to set me up for the rest of the corner :).

Even watching the rear facing camera on the Porsches the bumps look pretty bad. Bounce around so much.
