don't you love flexi days
well instead of spending the day at work. I did a sprint session at QLD race way. I was out muscled on the straight's but really showed how well a
beetle could corner. Pics to follow
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

the car was 1 sec faster than a club spec BMW 2.3 L six. the BMW was 15km/hr faster on the straight, but i was much faster through the corners. as Qld
race way is a power curcuit, I was really let down with such little power

I've had my bike on Qld raceway a couple of times and it definitely is a horsepower track.
Just curious what speed where you pulling thru turns one and two?

140 through turn one in a beetle is pretty good.
I was only pulling about 140 through turn one on my bike mind you I was breaking from about 210 - 220 :thumb
