as you can tell by the videos the weather didnt let off with the rain or the bitterly cold wind
the tyre choice was good
i could turn in and power on sooner than nearly everything there
and by dinner time i had used a full tank of fuel
an hour for lunch track was closed
chicken curry was lush!
1:30 when to find Tim again for my last tuition
first out on track from an hour break there were No dry lines it was all fresh un broken water
i think Tim had been watchin in the morning as he had a different approach in this session,
he was calling the down shifts and calling the braking point later into the corners encouraging me turn in harder which in-turn made me push faster and harder
at this point i realise that the Mintex pads ive fitted ive been only just using
you can really stand on these pads and they get better and better
i was beginning to use the brakes more and take some of the strain away from the down shift
i was beginning to trigger the ABS as i was braking setting up for the corners
I do believe Tim was enjoying himself
this 20 min session was a good fast session with a clear track
the tyres and brakes were working good
the rest of the afternoon was very much the same with good speeds and good laps,
all through the day i had people coming up and commenting on the car and the speed
which sper'd me on i think
the wife enjoyed the passenger laps but didn't like the rain or cold
she had enough by the middle of the afternoon so i had a few sessions to my self where i could push the limits a bit
needles to say all that happen was i cam up to traffic that wouldn't let me past
i pushed them for a while till the fuel light came on to which, i let off cooled the car off and called it a day,
as i saved 20ltrs in a can to get me home
i didn't bother changing the track tyres back for the trip home as they had enough tread to be legal
and i didn't want to get soaked changing them as it was still bitterly cold and raining
