Thanks!!

The way I read this thing - the long one is the 2.6 km circuit and incorporates the 1.4 km circuit?

That map doesnt show the dogs leg into the infield of the oval!!

Thats the worst part!!! I Almost came pipe there last year.

Those darn pipes....Why the hell is it there in the first place? Is it for a tyre wall or something? I noticed Kyalami also has it.

that dog leg is probably a little more fun this year.

watched the racing there past weekend and the bump that catches the outer wheels as you turn into the dogleg and approach the apex is no longer as tiny as it used to be so make sure you're not on the brakes unless you got a little redbull flowing through those veins cause its gonna get a little loose at the back.

turn late and if you not sure turn a little later then put the inside wheels right on the inner edge so you can nail the tight right hander.

You'll know when you get it right cause you wanna do another 50 laps and be happy sending the car for a service next week.

all events run concurrently! Except when we break at 12h00 to let the challenge guys out with the kids.

Does that mean we can just go round, and round, and round, and round, and round? Obviously within turn!

No, they let out 3 cars at a time for 3 laps. The 3 cars are spaced as such, as to not race each other on the track. Pity...................

Yes, I went out 4 times I think last year. It all depends on the number of entries.

GRRRRRRRRRrrrrrr...

Customer wants his trucks on Monday, but there are some onboard computers that needs to be fitted. That in itself isn't the problem, the OBC's needs to be callibrated once fitted.... It's Saturday, so no drivers available

Instead of going fast around W I'll be doing the callibration thing at 80 km/h Oh well..... always next year!
