Had my first track day experience today and loved it, even though I was only a passenger.

Went down to Knockhill in my mates 2wd Saph for a hot hatch day they run. The track was run in reverse today for the first time for a hot hatch day.

Even though I wasn't driving it was still a great day out, nice feeling being able to thrash the car and not have to worry if Mr Policeman is hiding round the corner.

Only downside was we only got 2 sessions in before the clutch decided it didnt like boost anymore lol

My only regret is that I didnt take my own car down, would of loved to drive it but I will settle with a passenger run.

Its definitely something Im going to get more involved in, was a good day out

 

Very addictive isn't it?

 

What a track to lose your cherry on

 

Sure is. As soon as the pace car left after the warm up lap and the Saph came on boost lighting the rears I was grinning from ear to ear lol

 

Can't wait to play next Sunday.

 

I seen that saff running and said it sounded like the clutch was slipping. Guess I was right lol.

Looked good before that. Was a couple of really quick evos in your session too

 

We didnt expect it to last, had a paddle clutch that was meant to be here last week but didnt arrive so just had to throw the standard one in

It was fine in the first session but on the 2nd or 3rd lap next time out it packed in so decided to come off before it totally went

Aye there were a few quick motors in each group, somre proper surprised me at how well they went

 

Track days are defo addictive.I love them.

 

Sure are. I was gutted last night when I seen I'm in magaluf when the next hot hatch day is on haha

 

Good things come to those who wait

 

I Love track days., very addictive but also can be expensive.
