It's on the 7-8 September and as usual I will be loading the CTR on it's trailer plus my camping gear in the 4x4 tow ute ready for the app 2 hour drive to the town on the Darling Downs west of Brisbane Queensland Australia.
It is held on closed roads in the industrial estate every year and this will be my Type R's first time after competing in my previous car a 400 hp Starion for app 10 years so it will be difficult to match my previous times as this is a power circuit but I am confident of getting close as I gain more experience transitioning from turbo RWD to NA FWD as I think that my red FN2 Type R Civic will have higher corner speeds that may help close the expected difference in lap times over the 1.5 klm track.
My AP Racing front brakes will certainly help as am expecting that they will have to slow me down from 160 kph when braking as late as I dare for the first chicane before the very tight left hand 90 deg corner in the narrowest section of the track that has concrete barriers on both sides of it and is colored orange on the map.
The track is driven the opposite direction on Sunday and the best time from both days is added together to determine the class winners.
