Had a fun day at North Weald airfield on tuesday...
Very wide mix of cars, lots of MX5's of different specs, Lotus Elises, Subarus, Cerbera, Renault Clio, Civic Type R, RX7, Porsche Carrera, 350Z, Cobra replica with a Rover 3.9 V8, Dax & MK Indy 7 type cars, and a couple of monster track cars, Fiesta with Zetec and an Escort with a Skyline engine, both RWD conversions !!
It was basically split into 2 halves, morning session was high speed curve test, where you had about 5 or 6 goes at taking a bend as fast as possible, starting about 50mph I got to about 71mph, and spun out once.. Most cars were between 60 and 75, so felt happy with that.
Afternoon session was 2 different tracks marked out with cones, with different radius curves, didn't do too bad and recorded quickish times on both considering the Camaro is too big for tight slaloms really.
I had an oil leak appear in the afternoon so called a day about an hour early. I'd highly recommend this day, as you go out one car at a time and get a chance to throw your car around to the limit without any fear damaging anything, and spinning as much as you like, which you can't do on a trackday.
