Well, Knockhill had a full open pit lane today from 10 am - 5pm.
I could not manage the morning session so just rocked up in glorious sunshine at around 1 pm for the afternoon session blissfully unaware that the heavens had been open all morning and that there had been a serious oil drop due to a blown motor at around 11am so the track was closed and an early lunch break was called for, so really did not miss a trick early doors.
So got the R35 ready and immediately switched into R mode with the Suspension, Gearbox and Traction.
Into map 99 and 2bar boost and we were all good to go.
A few warm up laps and all looking good.
There was a good mix of fast road cars including a couple of other R35s, however with the final day of the SMRC this weekend and all to play for, the big boys were all out in abundance for there testing in preparation for competing for the championship.
All in all a brilliant afternoons fun and bar a couple of Full Race Radicals I think that I did the Nissan image no harm at all as no one else really got close.
Conditions were spot on today and the ambient temp and track temp really did suit the GT-R and after checking my data, my previously PB with the R-35 on MPSS was 58.05, however, smashed that today with a 57.65 and that was with holiday man 16 stone Dougie on board. I am well chuffed as I did not think that a sub 58 would be possible with an R-35. at KRC.
Any one who has not had a track day experience, I would recommend that you give it a go, perhaps in moderation initially as it really does become addictive.
Have fun and drive safely.
