Wakefield Park Track Day

[ExAreSix]

Here's a quick clip with some footage of my day. I struggled to get grip from the rear all day, so I decided to exploit the lack of rear grip in the wet. Was a bit of fun, till my Air Flow Meter copped some water and died on me.

I saw an Evo make a big splash in the sand trap at turn 1 after it rained

You can also see the EVO going off at the start of the clip.

Cheers, thanks for the Natsoft link. The vid looks good too, nice slide coming back down. :-) My mate was in 16th on the time sheet and he's on street tyres too, RE55 Bridgestones. Actually they are street legal semislicks so not sure if that is really classed as a street tyre. hehe What tyres were you on?

How are the autosports days run? Is that the supersprint for the WRX/Holden/Alfa guys? Cheers.

Some good footage mate. My camera didn't want to play so I have no incar footage from the day.

And I've only got a bit of footage from the wet session.

The times are up on natsoft... TIMES

Kev had another good day. Very quick car.

I managed to top the street tyre timesheets, again. Only car in the top 20 on streets I think. (Car 62)

Some nice cars on the day. S4 sounded beautiful. M3 was nice.

Not as well run as the autosports days though. Still, a good day.

I ran a PB for the day.(1.09.30). I only had one session then went home as soon as it started pi$$ing down.

Im pretty sure I would have got into the 8s if I went out again.

Cant wait to give the car more power...its only got 158kw atws.

I have some in car video....Ill post it later

Re55s are an R compound tyre, so are classed as a slick.

My car is shod with Stiletto Blue Streaks. They are [sarcasm]AWESOME[/sarcasm].

They are garbage, but were on the car when I bought it. Only good thing is, they just will not wear out they are that hard. A full day of racing and they show no signs of wear.

Autosport's day are much the same deal. But are better controlled. And they are now doing Supersprint style sessions during the day.

Hard to explain, but one example; all the guys finishing a session then coming back in and parking in the holding area instead of going back to a garage was giving me the sh*ts. Cars coming in while you're trying to get out onto the track is ridiculous.
