So here goes... My first time at this. Really nervous and excited at the same time.
Programmable Haldex, BBK, KW V3 coilovers... Built my car for this type of stuff. Guess it's time.
That’s the spirit
Keen to see this car on the track

That .:R is going to do great on this track.
It's not difficult. Just get someone to go out with you on session 1 to show you driving lines and braking points and you'll be great!

Agreed! Start slow and gradually increase your pace. Don't worry about the lap times, gain confidence and they will start to fall

You just making an excuse so when you slow you will say its only an FR
Will be interesting how my excuses stack up to yours when the FR is faster than your Cupra

There is a pavilion, bar etc on site.
There is ample parking as you enter the circuit for spectators.
Just a general comment, if spectators could keep to the grassy parking spaces and leave the pit areas for competitors that would be appreciated

Convoy details:
Start point:
Sasol Service Station on Michelle Avenue, just off the R59 (turn left once taking the off-ramp if you're travelling south towards Vereeniging - garage is on your right at the next intersection)
Time:
Meet at 6:30
Departure at 7:00
Gates will be open when we reach Laserfiche Raceway, and we'll have some time to change tyres and adjust suspension before the driver's briefing and the first round of practice laps.
There is a coffee shop at Sasol, so get there early for some caffeine and mingle with fellow competitors and spectators before an epic day on the track!
See you there

I had a lot of fun! My wife and I had a great day.
It's a pity we stay so far as I wish we could have stayed longer but the drive back is long and the horrible roads even worse.
Thanks a lot for a great event guys!

Hey Tony, car looked amazing out there. Only thing i can advise in the vid you posted is watch your hands on the wheel, they were all over the place. Keep them at 9 and 3 o'clock.
How was the times?

https://youtu.be/ZNLeHoP7QJo Epic one mr. Only suggestion I can give is you turn in to quickly, try going in deeper, especially turn at the turn at the end of the back straight
