Default My First track day

I am probably opening the floodgates for criticism but all good fun, excuse the hideous lines and the Team America arms

Weather was spot on, 13c track temps according to my Chinese IR temp gun! Bit busy in the morning and there was quite a variety of driver skill and cars, from track prep'd Caterhams and E46 M3's running slicks to Nissan Micra 1.3s on space savers

Very pleased with how the car went, found the limitations of the Eagle F1's, twice as per this video! Was going to invest in some tuition but the positions were all booked up.

Everything was sound with the car, brakes exhibited no signs of fade.

Anyway here is the video with Mr Earl_F20c passengering with me

Excuse the shitty miss shift, 2nd to 3rd Synchros on the blink I think.

Does it say "Grand prick" on the side of his helmet?

Glad you had a good time, it's very addictive...

Haha

Very addictive indeed. Already looking at another session. Potentially a full day at Oulton, done a few taster sessions there and enjoyed it.

Definitely get some instruction next time, it'll make you much faster.

Good to see you finally lose your cherry Tom

When you decide to do Oulton give me a pm duder, I will come with you (Work allowing of course)
