Calder September 24
I've organised for you guys to be invited to the next ferrari club track day at calder on the 24th September.
It's $200. Format is open pit in the morning until about 2pm. take friends, swap cars, go in others' cars....whatever you like (more or less...not full speed) then timing after 2pm.
Anyone interested? More details soon.

Jezza, what do you mean by better with the brace? Can you elaborate? I'm not sure if I'm up for Calder yet. Will wait for Aircon's further details as well. Thanks Aircon by the way.

Blackie,
It's hard to put describe exactly the difference with my limited knowledge of car/chassis handling dynamics etc but i'll try my best:
- steering is firmer, used to have a tendency to move around a lil bit over bumps, road undulations. I think firmer in a good way as you can 'feel' the road better(adversely affecting comfort a little)
- on hard cornering the car feels more balanced, like i used to feel the car was feeling really 'ragged', bumped around and out of shape in corners, but the front end cornering in higher speeds feels like its firmly planted and smoother somehow...and the rear end seems to put the power down a little better now too
a good example is i used to tap the throttle a little bit in the wet to get the tail out a little but since i've installed the brace the i'm struggling to get the tail out at all!!
i don't know how much of this is psychological but there is definitely a noticeable improvement.
