Track day @ QR

Post by OLD FART »

Thought that I needed a refresher so I signed up with Stokell Motorsport and was at QR on the clubman track in the morning session.
Thought that I would use the old hard RT615's so went out for observation laps and the back snapped sideways braking for turn 3 crossover it felt like I was on the skid pan with diesel on the track :shock: :wtf: so drove like Miss Daisy :oops: for the rest of the session keeping well out of the way and waving everyone past.
Justice = Mike had come out for a look and gave a hand to change over to the Federal595RSR's and the grip returned and the car was predictable again :D Also took a 1/4 turn bias off the rear brakes
Had Paul Stokell in the navigators seat in the last session and he taught me a better line into turn 6 that better suited the car and me.
Had offered to take Mike for a lap or 3 during the lunch break but he had disappeared so thought that after watching my driving had second thoughts and got cold feet and shot thru :o LOL

Felt like I was from the wrong side of town amongst all the various Porsche, Lotus and a v12 Astons .
Was a well run day with a coffee van ,cold drinks and hot lunch all included in the fee :beer
Hopefully I never get too old to learn something new. :wink:
