My first time on track today in the hearse and i loved it.

Spun it out twice first time was mint and the look on the guy driving an astra gte behind me was quality.


Only thing is i seriously need to sort my brakes out for the next one. bad fade on one lap and i ended up in the run off.
No pics yet but as soon as the boys at wpce upload them ill post.

Oh and i decided that Z3 coupes and porche 911 turbos are quick after they both pasted me like i was standing still.

Good Stuff Richy sounds like you had a great time.

Its great fun when you first spin your car....as long as you are not on the road !

The trick with the brakes is to brake late and hard, therefore giving them less time to build up heat. Also, make sure you drive for a whole lap without braking at all before you come back to the pits to give them a chance to cool down.

I bet you are already thinking about booking the next one :D
