Major Ledfoot
Nearer to Bernalla really.
Haven't been there in many years. Hear they've added a new section to the track since then - in the old configuration, the straight wasn't very Falken long...

I always notice the signs going southbound so in my head it is near the Glenrowan services but you are right, nearer Benalla from the map.

l hear you Mark,
l only decided to run yesterday so a bit of a rush job here as well, serviced car, flush all old brake fluid and bleed system, fit up some new r tyres and give the front end a tickle for the track, but all done now and ready to go, thank faaaark. Was so tempting to stick some numbers on the red T4, but that will wait for now.
Whats the go with your new S40 T4? sounds like fun to me.
Hope rain stays away, still a good track even in the wet. Had some memorable runs in the wet at Winton, better when it's dry though.
Cheers Paul

I'd like to come for round 3 but alas, Winton Fun day is on the 11th! For $50 can't beat that, especially after 2pm when everyone's gone home and it's basically empty :D

Awesome day at Winton, picked up 2nd in under 2lt production car road registered. The old Alfa 75ts was on rails in the last run. The first 4 runs were wet as a shag, full on, water everywhere! slipping and sliding like a stage of the Monte Carlo Rally.
Great bunch of fellow drivers, and run in a manner that for me is second to none.
There is even a dedicated class for first time (rooky) drivers and a ladies class.
Happy to help anyone on here who may be thinking about some track day fun for the first time. First timers often have a more experienced driver go with them in the first session to help you get your bearings. Honestly you will be looked after and welcomed.
All sorts of cars run in classes that are well sorted. l have been on track with 240's, which are surprisingly quick when they get wound up. Usually a few other Alfa drivers turn up.
For $115 it's brilliant value.

Got the yellow T4 super tourer 2000 model auto but flys, it will be at work for RWC this wednesday, needs a few things doing, Strut top, saggy headlining, few globes out, windscreen.
looks cool
S40T4
Niiiiiiiiice, shame it's an auto, but Im sure it will be a great car once you sort a few things out.
l love our red T4 manual you sold us, we have nicked named it the Scandinavian Alfa for a good reason, it's seriously good fun to drive.
Saying that the two V40t's we have are brilliant, the autos work in a seemingly intuitively way, always in the right gear and ready to jump to life with oomph, even fun when on a good Alpine driving road. Can't wait to install the T4 springs and koni struts on the black one.
