Wow!
Looks like a blast!!!

Nice driving!
What speeds were you hitting down the straights?

I noticed you didn't want to go through that big puddle..

 

[DOUGMO]

good to see you out there again brenton!

where are you testing at in the vid?

 

[Evo6_Rally]

testing at mafeking rover park near yea. good facility and good price
they have a website - mafekingroverpark.com
if anyone ever wants to give their car a run there....it is a little rough though!
didn't want to go over the puddle as we were testing suspension set ups so its a bit easier when there's not water and mud dripping everywhere
first time back in the car for a year-felt awesome! (ran out of money this year
have worked 2 weekends with RallySchool though which has been brilliant to keep the skills up.
speeds-um about 140 i think down that straight. it wasn't very long and a i didnt want to over commit into the last corner as it was slippery and there were posts on the outside!!!

hahah... you avoided the puddle! Great footage!

Any technical reason for the atmos venting BOV? Or does it just seem louder than it is?

 

[Evo6_Rally]

nah-it was on it when we bought the car and we havent changed it. one of those things - $$$ and time really

 

[JiMi]

looks like fun... your mum seemed suprisingly calm... hehe

 

[DOUGMO]

how do you go about booking brenton

very interested

 

[bazeng]

Also, another question... what is your camera setup?
I like!!

 

[Liberoz]

Great its what they were produce to do in the first place If I was residing in Vic I'd be there.

In terms of booking check out their website - mafekingroverpark.com.
Jess Watling is the contact - its $350 a day or $35 per car if 10+ cars.

Camera set up is using RaceRecall - they've got a fantastic website if you check them out (racerecall.com). Mark Clair is the contact and tell him you heard through Brenton Kaitler.

For this weekend we are using 2 P.O.V. cameras (stands for Point Of View I think). They are SOOO easy to use - 4 AA batteries, record to SD card, AV output and mini USB connection. We will also have fitted their new HD camera this week - can't wait to see the Hi Definition footage, should look magic. RaceRecall sponsor our team and look after us (and our referrals), so please have a chat to Mark and he will be able to advise on the best setup.

If anyone is interested in coming on Sunday, the rally starts at 9am in the main street of Alexandra. There's a whole host of Evo's including a 2, 5, 6 and 9 plus those horrible Subaru's

Come and say g'day if you come along-I'm running car 9 and would love to see you.

Also, just putting it out there - if there's interest we may run another test day where you can come for a ride in the car. Cost would be around $300 per person (depending on numbers) and that will give you a ride in one of the fastest rally cars in the country (on the tarmac in Tassie last year we finished 3rd outright behind the factory Toyota team, outpacing the likes of Jim Richards - imagine that but on gravel

Cheers guys,
Brenton
