*Post Snetterton Update*
Friday night: managed to load up the Clio and set of on a magical mystery tour down south.. by the time I’d finished work and a 3hr drive we managed to get to the hotel for 10.30pm.
Saturday: up for around 6 after a decent enough sleep, sadly still suffering from the after effects of a cold/sinus infection so plenty of coughing and tissues and feeling abit crappy.
Got to the circuit in plenty of time to find
@Big Ben already there putting on his shiny new gold wizards with some worn but impressive set of track tyres.
Weather was perfect conditions however the briefing room was overcrowded and stuffy which didn’t help.
With Ben having technical difficulties I.e dropping a spanner before sighting laps I snuck out to get mine in and sound tested before it all fully started.
Literally on the first lap, the session was red flagged as a 182 in true French fashion dropped a load of oil down the back straight and had to be recovered back.
Things were going smoothly and this was that first proper outing of the gaz golds and wow. The car felt planted and so much better than last time out. Still running the pfc z rated and whilst they’re good, they took abit of time getting bedded back in.
Had some tuition booked and was nervy about how it was going to go down. The instructor was spot on and really encouraging me to push the car as I’m quite reserved in my driving style.
Just before lunch session was red flagged again as something caught fire down the start / finish straight which was timely I guess.
After lunch my condition wasn’t getting any better so I spent most of it spectating with my dad, went out for afew more stints and on my last run managed to be really satisfied with my driving and the car.
Started packing up around 4 ready to make the trip back home, In hindsight should’ve stayed somewhere coming back but braved on and managed to get home just after 8 which felt like a lifetime.
So overall aside feeling pants the car and the day was a complete success and really pleased.
And of course afew pics I managed to squeeze in.
whilst I had her out I was able to soften the dampers ready for the trip down south.
