260DET Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Talked with the 350Z driver afterwards to work out what happened. On turning in to apex the corner he lost the front end with the car sliding towards the armco on the left. Rock and a hard place situation. Lifted off the throttle a touch to try to get front end grip back but the rear started to let go, countersteered because the car is heading towards the armco on the right. Car slides sideways down the track with the slope inevitably pushing it towards the armco at the left. Best possible outcome really because it can get very nasty there, damage including pro paint less than $1k. Together with the Phillip Island GP circuit, this is the fastest circuit in AU, faster than Bathurst/Mt Panorama. Lap record back in the 60's was held by Graham Hill in a F1 car, around 65 seconds. Which is about what the stock 350Z on street tyres does now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
