Track day downunder
Franck Morand (Mirage 0158) from Thailand and Clermont-Ferrand in France reports he recently enjoyed a track day at Wakefield during a visit to Sydney, Australia. (Nov 2004)

Franck Morand has a broad grin as he goes out for another session in the Porsche Turbo4x4

Franck says "I was invited for a track day at Wakefield Raceway just outside Sydney, just two days after my birthday. Fantastic gift from my Australian friends. I drove a Lotus Elise and had a go with a locally made Seven, but spent most of the day at the wheel of my friend's Porsche Turbo 4x4, with a specially tuned engine (400 hp plus) and semi slick tyres. Terrific! The grip was simply phenomenal, and the "kick in the buttocks" with the turbo is unbelievable. The V8 will feel like a wheelbarrow afterwards. But don't worry, I still love my MG and will do so for ever".
