Had My First Track day today :)
So today I went to the RS Show at Donnington Park, which had a open pit lane so got it for £90 from 10am-5pm thought it was a bargain.. Never being on the track before I thought I would throw myself in the deep end and enter in the expert class... Less people in it and learnt a lot from the other drivers... First session I had a friend of mine in with me helping me out.... The buzz was amazing.. For the rest of the day was out on my own, couple friends had evo6 and wrx ppp, so had some fun with them overall very happy... Really learnt the car a lot better and my confidence grew through out the day....
Bring on the next one carnt wait...
Old school RS had a little accident..... Spun as it came in boost!! Be gutted if I was the owner!!

Yeah gave it a oil and filter change yesterday and checked car over... Only had a slight problem with oil breather pipe coming off near side rocker cover, quick fix... Apart from that had a great day.... Brembos struggled a bit towards end of each 20min session... Tool a bit of cooling down....
Car running about 440bhp so have the lower there just handling to add bits to now, running BC cool overs but want to put few more bits on

Amazed you got on OK with kevlar pads! I completely destroyed a set in my 2nd 20min session 
Get some proper track pads in there and you'd have a lot more fun again, Donington is an amazing track and very good for a first time as there's tones of run off.
Now the bugs bitten your done for

I've used EBC Orangestuff which were ok but got alot of judder from them after a track day. Just fitted some Carbone Lorraine CL5+ as i've got a trackday on the 30th so will be interesting to see how they fare after that, reports are they're a decent step up from the orangestuff's.
