Australia Some Wakefield Park pics

Took my gf's R56 MCS automatic to the Circuit Club track day Feb 24. Best time was 1:16:352 (natsoft)

That's a pretty competitive time for the day.

I'd be very interested to hear what you thought of the automatic around the track, what 'mode' you were using etc. I'm busting to get my R56 MCSa to a trackday..

I was using Sport mode + manual shift mode.
Gearbox not so great around the track.
But fun factor 10/10

Excellent.. I love the manual mode of this gearbox, got the start routine down pat:

Key
Brake
Start Button
Sport Button
Gear lever across
Bump down to 1st
Away!
