Mondello Park Open Track Day Monday 2nd May

Yip that's me

I only did the morning but that was enough as we spent plenty of time out on track. The car was superb! Well balanced with amazing front end turn in and grip (-3 degrees front & -1.5 out back). One or two muppets in NCT chasers looking for a CSL scalp that I let off as I wasn't chancing my new (expensive) toy, on my first day out. The traction control 1/2 off was great but fully off needs a lot more care and attention than I'm used to.. Overall I'm well happy and can't wait to get back out!

Niall

PS Where did you get the pic?

cool!

Glad you had fun! I'm out at the VIP day on the 15th, can't wait. First Track day of the year. We had a day booked on the National for this friday but had to cancel due to lack of numbers.

Excellent, you'll have to throw up some more pics of that car of yours and come along to a few trackdays/meets

I found a video of the poor guy who wiped out his E30 after I passed him out and he tried to stay with us..

That looked like a puncture or suspension failure to me rather than operator error !
