Wakefield Park on a Saturday deserted!!!!

noticed a few weeks ago a saturday and sunday wakefield park open day was coming up this weekend and thought after last times troubles it might be nice to sneak in a few happy laps before the years end.

Found out that some big motorcycle event had been canceled hence the open day so they were not expecting many cars due to the late notice.

Checked out the weather forecast and all looked well for a great day.

Rocked up @ 7:45am on Saturday morning and unpacked the tow car and took my car off the trailer to be greated by this.

There was noon else here, how great was this i was about to have my very own personal wakefield park for the day to myself!!!

Alas it was not to be with 3 small trucks each with V8's in them, a open wheeler and 3 other cars  V8/Evo/Utes ended up turning up at some stage.

I took with me 4 jerry cans and a full tank and ended up doing close to 100 laps, finishing off the A050's and managing a 1.05.04.
Also got to drive Michele's older brothers brand new M3 for a very careful hand timed 1.13 round the track.

COuld not run anything less then 3/4 of a tank of juice and had major fuel surge issues pushing 1.5g's round some of the corners. Also the diff rocked over 135deg's in temp which has me worried but car performed well for the heat during the day and the 100 odd laps i was able to do.
