Port Road Notes

Prep

Use the best rubber you have available. It will make a difference.
Watch your videos from the previous event. Figure out where the gear changes are.
Check tire pressures.
Turn off windscreen washer taps.
Set alarm for 6am, aim to leave at around 7am.

Don't drive like a dick. You will enjoy the event more if you try for the best time you can possibly do. Don't try and do a massive burn out off the start line. Port road is not the event for fucking around.
Don't try and do the first corner in second gear without lifting off unless:
- The track is dry,
- You have good rubber on the rears and
- It is not your first run of the day.

Start Lots of revs off the start line. Better to have a bit of tyre spin than bog down the engine.
First corner Change into third while buttoning off. Ease the gas on carefully.
First barrel You are going faster than you think. Brake a bit early.
Ambulance corner Stay in third.
Alleyway short shift to third.
Alleyway, final exit Button off more than you think you need to. It will set you up for the final corner and is the fastest way through. Brake really hard.
