This was my first visit to Oulton Park so please excuse the lack of commitment and early turn ins. The car had just come out of the bodyshop so this was the first gentle test run. The car was running without the rear spoiler (ran out of time to fit it) which meant the car was rather nervous under braking and through the faster, bumpier sections. This video was taken at the time of the 19th respray update
Second trackday since getting the car back, this time at Silverstone GP circuit which I know pretty well.
The following track evening and I was getting a bit more confidence back now, it’s great to start remembering how the car feels. I forgot to turn the camera on for most of the evening, so this is all taken from one rather long session at the end of the day.
Video of my first wet track session in a few years, on a very water logged track with rather unsuitable and well worn Toyo 888 tyres (and stupidly I completely forgot about softening off the dampers!). It may not appear so on the video but the whole track was very wet, there was no dry tarmac visible and lots of standing water,.
The first 30 seconds were before instruction, the rest was after half an hours excellent tuition with Calum Lockie, which was a great help in finding the wet line around the GP circuit.
I forgot to tighten the camera mount through one session, but I'm not sure anyone will notice ;-)
This is the first run with the supercharger fitted. It was running at a maximum of 0.4 bar and was a very successful first test. I can’t have tightened the camera mount well enough on the last run, but kept the footage as I was having fun chasing a Ginetta race car though the traffic.
Last trackday of 2010 and it was another wet one!
First track evening of 2011, first time it was used in 6 months and it performed well apart from highish temps (it was a warm day). Larger oil cooler and improved intercooler to radiator ducting to improve air flow should hopefully reduce or solve this in the future.
