Was offered a corporate drive day today in a formula ford......beats working any day!!!!
Just on the north circuit at Oran Park, a bloke could get hooked on these things. The rev limiter was set at 5400, so we were hitting it quite often:P best power is 6800...bugger.
VW54 was there also....I kicked his arse....:P

Yeah it's tough some times the things you have to do for work!

I've got to work next weekend. From Friday morning to Sunday afternoon I have to put up with corporate tickets and lunches because I'm showing some Japanese from the Yokohama Rubber Company around INDY on the Gold Coast.

I won't get to drive anything but I have been told I'll get a drive of a V8 racing ute one day.

So Pete, what are your impressions of the Formula Ford, good brakes and turn-in?

I speak some japaneses if you need a hand CT.....:P
Yeah, they are some nice cars. Kinda interesting when the rear hatch is off..........reminds me of my old Cortina!
It really didn't help me at all today at the supersprint, the Spyder just hasn't got the same sort of handling.:puke
