First Time on Track
It is never too late to try something for the first time: I went to track my 997.1C4 this week-end. Circuit de Bresse in France.
Oh that was a lot of fun. The weather was absolutely horrible except few moments during the morning.
I had my almost own worn winters (Pirelli Sottozero) on the car and when they get warm, they are very slippery...
I was the only driver with a 'GT" all the other had striped-out-tuned little FWD cars (Renault Clio cup, Seat Leon, Peugeot 106) or tuned Subarus with slicks or semi-slicks...Those guys are REALLY fast. I could only keep up when it was pouring down as my tires got cooler...
The 'car crowd' I met there was super cool (have to confess, 80% came from Switzerland - as well all know, we don't have a proper track ) and it was a lot of fun...but I see how this can lead to a dangerous money wasting path (I came home and started looking at upgraded disc rotors kits, semi-slicks wheel sets etc....and then 997GT3RS ads...not good...)
I can't wait to try this again...But I need to be better equipped and prepared - this was a last minute decision (Even bough the helmet on the way ! )
