not been on track in the 200 yet and was really nervous about it so was pondering going on at FSC as a taster then i saw a sign in the window of a saxo with track time for sale on it so i gave the number a call and got booked on at 3.15, took sofaboy off here as a passenger and it was great, i was very nervous but it was absolutly awesome, first time on so was taking it easy.
after the 15 mins slot i wanted to go again so spoke to matt wills and he sold me 30 mins track time at 4.30pm for £10 which was great of him and he lent me his helmets, i pushed the car alot harder this time and managed to get past about 10 cars including 3 106s with 'ready for track' stickers on them a red mr2, a bmw (who was driving like a c**t oversteering and nearly spinning a few times) and a few others, also managed to lap a c2 vts.
only problem i had was coming off the oval braking for the tight left corner i got massive brake fade, this only happened once so took the next lap easier, also had a play with a 106 on coilovers and throttle bodies for about 4 laps which was really quick he kept with me on the straights and through the bends but i eventualy pulled away from him.
also noticed my tyres started to melt when i pulled off
needless to say i absolutely loved it and i now understand when people say that you cant push your car to the limits on a roads because you really cant, i think i have the track bug now and im looking at getting a set of track wheels and tyres aswell.
