good stuff

got to love the sound of a valver on full chat, nice spin too

it sounds 10 times better in the car, but has to reduce the size for video streaming. so the sound quality is not so good. the exhaust rattle noise was very annoying... but once on the track i cant be bothered.

the spin was performed at the last session of the day (6 sessions wholeday x 15mins each in my group), and was going full on at the last sessions, even tho my tyres, brakes.. everything was giving up on me.. i managed to get my best lap time in the last session.

Its like the best day of my life... gain heaps of experience and had $hit load of fun.

Got to keep saving up

go for it like i did.. it doesnt matter, it actually gives you what ur car can do and cant, and you can then decide what to do with it to handle the way you want. You learn, experience b4 you even begin to modify your car.. to me it probably the best way to mod the car. This way you know exactly how each modification affect the car to behave.

i pushed it to the limit, massive understeer in some corner,.. faded brakes, sliding everywhere, then you know the limit of your car, and you control it. Make you a better driver too.

I highly recommend every1 should go try it once at least.

nice vids

I fancy a track day one day.

Would take me ages to get round in a 1.4 tho lol

depends on the track u go to tho...the track i went, corner handling is much more important than the speed. the slower the car is the more speed you want to carry during the corner and the later you want to brake b44 the corner... will make you concentrate lots more into you driving techiques which end up lots more smoother then having a big turbo to play with.
