    Donnington Park Track Day today, well it was ...

    Different! It was like this all day.... Not particularly fast laps unfortunately. That'll teach me to try and save money by not changing my tyres thinking that I'll scrub these off before I get a nice new set....Didn't seem to help me today.

    Nice video, with great engine sound !!

    Doing some laps with those conditions must be pretty scary but at the same time so FUN

    Man I was waiting for some powerslides or something , just like ala MaxT or sergini style

    Thanks for sharing!!, it was nice watching !!

    Thanks for the video, rainy days are great days to perfect you lines and really get to know the track.

    Thanks for sharing ResB Reminds me of my wet track day in Spa couple of weeks ago. Such a wet session definitely sharpens your senses for both the car and the track

    Not much traffic on the track - I guess the guys with cup-tires gave up early

    Re: Donnington Park Track Day today, well it was .

    I really needed to be a little more bold but always had in the back of my mind, "I need the car for Monday". You also found yourself following lines that were not correct, only because you felt there was more grip on the lines laid by others. Yes I suppose there is more grip but the lines didn't feel right so you were inclined not to push yourself in any case. Good day though...

    There was about 40 cars in all. The 4WD cars did particularly well as you'd expect but what did surprise me was how long the rain stood on the track before dissipating.

    One other thing that was interesting to me was how little understeer I was getting. Perhaps not pushing particularly hard but it was always the back end that gave way first.

    Looks like a tremendous learning experience. You don't have to go fast to push the limit. Thanks for sharing!
