MidnightRacer Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 typically not 1 week after selling my track car do I find an available day at my local airfield when I'm not working... I did it last year in my MX5 so I know what to expect but is it worth a thrash out in the 350z? Being a heavy car I'm not 100% sure what to expect from it..... and do I turn the TCS off and go all out or stay within the safety of the VDC? I have a part worn set of Bridgestones so its a good opportunity to get them completely knackered and its coming towards the end of the season so I'm not too bothered about blowing it up... any advice from you 350 track drivers welcome!!

john smith Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 ive done loads of them , not since ive owned the z mind. ive done them in all the cars, inc my last evo and fq400 i got so addicted i went and bought a 205 gti , and pound for pound ive never had so much fun, when your in your pride and joy your always mindful of the value , go for it, take plenty of fuel, and tyres and enjoy !! look for javelin track days, they organise them and are really helpful.

wackosr Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Only thing I'd say is be warry of stone chips, airfields don't seem to be a clean as tracks. Saying that, Javelin now have a large blower they use to clean the circuit before the day, so that should help. Also worth doing a 5 or 6 laps than having a cooling off period, then repeat.

ds2000 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Go have fun, probably worth getting a spare set of tyres as airfield days can be massively abrasive on your poor olde tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC350Z Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 there was talk off setting one up down the midlands soon let us know how you get on with the z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 These Airfield days are great to teach you the limitation of grip on your car and also helps you improve car control, so I think they are a great idea and there is way less risk of you smashing the car here than taking it on a track After a talk with Martinmac at LakeZ I think we are looking at arranging one for LakeZ 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
