I would recommend everyone do the course, FPV owner or not. You will learn the limits of yourself and your car. Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a higher pressure next time would be a definate! Esp for your $480.00 SP9000s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the passenger, I thought they weren't allowed.I wonder how many laps you did with the change alert on, I reckon that would drive me mad after a while.Can't wait, should be a great daythe passenger was one of the instructors. my car had an issue on the track where the TC was comming on even in a straight line with no wheelspin (above 160kph). The instructor wanted to see it for himself because he had heard of it happening on a few of the F6's but never witnessed it before.as for the shift alert, I was under the impression that you couldnt turn it off without a WDS? not that it really bothers me Edited 08/07/06 07:15 AM by shockF6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the instructor may have held it. I was hoping to get a video as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
