Had a play on track
 

Basically the local Subaru club had organised a track day / sprint type of thing at Ingliston for the weekend.
I had booked my place and paid for it while in possesion of my 22B so it seemed a shame to let the space go to waste.

Took the CSL down instead just to have a wee play around as it's been about 6 years since i have driven a RWD car in anger.

£uck me these things are fun :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

Got most entertaining car of the day :bigcry: :bigcry:

Roll on my next day which is down at Croft so i can have a serious go :smokin:

:thumbs::hahaha:

Nice safe :thumbs:

Nice tail out action there....:thumbs:

Looks like good craic had by all.

Although, that stone dyke looks a bit hard for me, don't know if I'd take my chances with it!

Ahh that was ok. That is actualy a 1st gear 180deg hairpin thats set up so there was very little speed involved at that point.

Had a bit of a moment though involving 2 flag poles and a couple of electrical junction boxes :whistle: basically decided that id try and take this certin 90deg corner in 2nd rather than 1st so entry speed was a little quicker and resulted in some interesting manoeuvres :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

It was a brilliant day, totally relaxed and had the weather too :smokin:

Car now up on axle stands to have the brakes and wheels cleaned properly.

Nice pics - I'll need to do Ingliston one day :thumbs:

The track was ok but not really suited to the CSL. Highest gear was 3rd and that was only for about 3 seconds down the back straight. The car was never really out of 1st / 2nd gear.

It also had quite alot of pot holes so you were always watching for them and being a little cautious that you didn't fall into one while doing a little sideways action.

The Subarus were doing pretty well time wise but i had a bigger grin on my face and had the most requests for passenger rides through out the day :hahaha: :hahaha:

I had a similar experience on my last track day at Croft. The only CSL there and everyone wanted to come for a pax ride. Never managed a solo lap all day!

Nice one, dont like the look of that post though!
