Track day 19th Feb

Postby Kegco » Sun Feb 20, 2022 7:18 pm

Brands Hatch 19th Feb
Matt and I booked in
Great day, weather was good to us in morning, considering the storm the day before.
Had a bit of down pour mid day, but didn’t stop play, just a bit more fun.
Afternoon started to dry out but a lot of people had left by then
So we had the track to ourselves
A few kit cars (Caterham academy) struggling a bit to stay on track
Nice couple of Lotus in purple and gold
A couple of fellow mini rods from lydden Hill joined us but damaged his gearbox, so they left early
I discovered that my Offside front shock leaking more like spraying out which didn’t help, but didn’t last long
We did a lot of tyre changes through out the day, trying out our Avon’s 17” to 15” to 16” toyo in the wet, trying different tyre pressures
Good test day
GoPro footage not many cars on the track
