Donnington Track Day 17/6/07 - Video footage added
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 9:26 pm
What an excellant day and even the weather gods smiled on us.
We arrived at Donnigton bright and early at 7am to ensure that we got a pit garare for us and Stuart who we were expecting to arrive around 8am. To our surprise Stuart turned up at 10 past 7
The range of vehicles out there today was amazing, there was even a Ford GT40.
The car behaved fairly well throughout the day we only really needed to put in a couple of cool down laps to control the temperature. Whilst out on track with Stuart we had such a laugh taking it in turn to lead. Ithought we drove our car hard, Stuart was out there on the edge lap after lap. On one lap when Stuart was following me I made a rookie error of paying to much attention to Stuart and not enough on the track infront. A s a result I missed my breaking point coming into Redgate and ran a little wide :roll: Silly me.
Went out for a passenger ride with Stuart and I would have to say with those tyres on his car sticks to the track in the corners, The Kuhmo's taht we now run also gave us a lot more grip although we do use a front splitter and a new rear wing to help with grip.
More pics from the day can be viewed on the link below. Video footage should be up tomorrow
