Cheers guys all great points raised I shall keep you informed on how it goes And yes brillo I got ago pro for Christmas so hopefully I'll be able to get you some good footage and no accident footage

I can't see anything dom Nice house though lol

Do you drive on track the same way as you drive on the road then? For me I drive very different, on the road I keep my speed sensible, drive defensively mostly and tailor my speed and approach to the conditions and environment. I'm certainly not redlining in every gear, getting the back out, attacking every corner and getting the car out of shape to the point where the laws of physics are being challenged. For me, driving on track is a totally different technique and mentality. Like chalk and cheese. Yeah of course i drive differently on track but as i said above, i consider the risk of crashing far higher than on the road due to the infinite number of hazards, hence why i take it to the track as if i do get it wrong the consequences are staked in my favour of not hitting anything, if you think differently thats your call. I just dont get the "i can afford to smash it" mentality as imho that will give completely the wrong impression to people who like the op who are concerned about taking their pride and joy out on track because of people in disposable cars. If your out of shape and getting the back end at out every corner and challenging the laws of physics i think we see track days very differently Kind of in agreement here I would be building speed slowly and keeping things a smooth as possible Doesn't mean the next man is tho as they take you out lol

Very good point this. Check your tyre pressures before you go out, then do your sighting laps/first session and then check them again. You will see they have risen so let some air out and see how you get on next time out. You will be amazed at how horrible the car will drive with wrong pressures. Also, before you come back in at the end of a run, use that lap to drive easy to let the car cool down. When you do come back in to the pits, don't put your hand brake on or keep your foot on the brakes as you will warp the discs and cover them in brake pickup. Put it in gear and turn engine off. Check oil all the time and take spare with you to top up. Good info guys cheers

Sold - thread locked

Yes that was my question to pace ward They said it all centres around the car Said if I crash or someone crashes into me Im coverd if I hit someone though my insurance doesn't cover them

I wouldn't even atempt it without but then I'll be doing the odd one so the odd bit of insurance is worth it for me Gutting for you andy but glad to see you building it back up

It's March not that that's much better lol

That's interesting my mate loved it in his evo We have a massive group going including S2000 R35 R1 kit car Subaru M3 dedicated track car And there is tuition including in our price so I'll be making full use of that and taking it slowly for starters The guy with the R1 kit car used to race and 800bhp time attack car also so he's offering a drive in that with his advice along the way I think I'll be fairly nervous on the day but that's part of the buzz ADVENTURE BEFORE DEMENTIA

I'm not that wealthy I'm thinking old ep3 clio cup lol

Yeah that's my thoughts dave I'm looking at track cars now have been for a while so if I enjoy it I'll get something

I'll look into that cheers

You may well be right I'm still not fully compatible with tracking the z but it feels like a waste to not at least once

I'd love to John but I've a week of in March to reki our trip to Europe check all our routes and hotels ready for June On the upside we might be doing it in either a new rs3 or mattys mclaren

Pace ward quoted me £80 with a %10 excess So it looks like the z will go to the ball

Bump still available

Awesome congratulations dude

Ah right don't worry about the w brace mine is a bit rusty 2010 bit it's not an issue

Forgot you came up behind me at the island then went right onto 46 Warwick

Strong work James Take up has been slow this time on the forum

I'm still none the wiser lol
