Previous experience: Some 1/4 mile experience not very much. Personal best 1/4 mile is 12.9 in another Skyline and 13.5 @ 109mph in my own Sierra Cosworth 2 wheel drive. Very little circuit experience, 2 laps of the Nurburgring, half hour on track at Silverstone in another Skyline & about 8 laps of Brands Hatch in this Skyline with a best lap of 56 seconds whilst setting up the suspension. Personal goals for 2009: Just to compete and get some laps under my belt and familiarise myself with the car, I have hardly driven this car so it will be a steep learning curve.
