Default First Track day in the CLIO--- WICKED!!!

Evening all

Despite almost dieing on the way up as there was a smash on the motorway which left a car facing me on the outside lane as I approached at 70* it was a top day...

Ran with road tyres for the first 2 sessions and couldn't get a good and constant pressure... then swapped to some part worn A048's I have which were awesome once up to temp and dont look like they've worn at all...

Wicked day, ended up with a couple of 1.32 dead but a lot of 1.33 times (obviously un officially timing by my bro and Twells off the pit wall) was also a black 172 out there running road tyres doing 1,38's my bro reckoned.

Overall through out the day the mixture of more experience with the car/confidence/tyres I knocked 15 seconds off this mornings times.

Not much stoppage during the day but as usual utter COONTS in "fast" cars who refused to move out of the way for "faster" cars.... at one point a Red Elise had 9 cars behind it for 3 laps... total fucking moron- had got his lap top out between sessions fucking with it and was really slow- I think he was also realy old.

Big respect to the guy in E63 AMG thing fucking big balls- almost stuffed it on some oil an escos laid down.. and had a big moment coming out of the last corner onto the hanger straight...

Anyways- top day, video may follow later if I can be arsed, roll on 29th of December.

PS- clio drove there and back, which is already a million times better than the shit 205 I had.
