Default FIRST TRACKDAY

Me and the misses went to raf valley on sunday for are first trackday and all i will say is how addictive it is
the next to last session i could not keep it tight it was just going wide everywhere lots of understeer and me being a helmet just wanted to put my foot down by this time the tyres were useless they were cheap fullrun tyres i just wished i would of had better rubber
and a suspension setup.
heres my vid silver classic near the back feel free to critisice
YouTube - raf valley trackday 2008 (novice session)
and this is the vid of me misses incar footage YouTube - raf valley trackday 2008 (novice in a subaru)

You dont need silly power or mega suspension to enjoy yourself on a track,
Its all about going as quick as your car will let you within the limits of grip,
You will find a capable driver in a slower car will be quicker then a car with more power on no ability,
I find them really relaxing.

More is the last thing that you need. What you really need is more suspension and brakes and then, possibly; less weight.

just give it a service
as said no need for big power obviously a wheel alinement
would be better but just go and enjoy yourself thats what i did and
i did'nt care what other people thought
the more tracktime you do will in the end make you a better driver
