It was a good day despite the fact that the track had NO grip at all. Guess that big storm washed all the rubber away.

Although I must say I much prefer 3 lap sessions to 20min session. I spent over half of my track time cooling the car down rather than driving fast and most other people (at least in my group) were doing the same.

Hi all, I am glad you all had fun. We made the session 20 minutes to try and give everyone plenty of track time, too much by the sound of it! lol

I am considering the next one maybe have in 15 minute sessions instead of 20 minutes. Which for someone around the 1:45 is about 7-8 laps.

We got a few extra sessions in because there was not many break downs on the circuit, 2 tows for the day.

I will let you all know when the next on is on!!

Cheers

Adam

Thanks for organising the day Adam!

I have to agree with Snowman re: the length of the sessions - 15 mins would probably be a better format.

I was surprised with how little grip there was out on the track - must've been all the rain that there was recently.

Oh - and I need new pads... Anyone got any ideas where to pick up the Ferrodo's from?

Cheers,

matt

Yeah thanks for organising the day. It's one of the better run track days i've been to in a while.

I also agree 20min sessions was too long. Tyres and brakes overheating in that time. I like the idea of 1 warm up lap, 3-4 flying fast laps and 1 cool down lap.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
