Just had a Cadwell day in my NA Toyota Elise and it blows my mind how much more committed and hence quicker your laps are. Great job, I get the feeling you could teach me a great deal...
Thanks David, Avon ZZR, Pagid RS42 and this was my first trackday out on some Gaz Mono dampers. Car has had a full suspension refresh over winter so this was my "make sure it all doesn't fall off" day! I wasn't timing (trackday :P ) but from reviewing my footage, I'd say 1.50 is around the ballpark... a mile away from your pace, but that's obvious just comparing the clips.
FonzeyOnTrack that makes sense, looks well set up and a nice car. I have had mine for 7 years and done lots and lots of track days in it. Had lots of tuition over the years too, best thing you can spend your money on by far!
Thanks David, I'll keep at it but you've given me something to aim at! How do you approach tyre pressures on trackdays? I seem to struggle when lowering them down as many people recommend so normally end up with slightly higher pressures than most.
Thanks Hugh. It was still damp in places so a bit more time to come hopefully. 1.46 is a good lap, have you been to Cadwell before? Such a great circuit
Last time I went was 2009 on a zx6r so it was the first time in a car. Your lap was way smoother than mine and you must make up a second on the braking point at the end of park straight and another around chris curve.

FonzeyOnTrack thanks. Just had a look at your laps they look good. What tyres, brakes and sue are you running? What were the lap times?

FonzeyOnTrack I go to 24/25 hot at the front and 26/27 hot at the rear. PSI that is. You're supposed to run them higher but doesn't work for me
Great lap! I did an evening there last night and managed a 1.46... wish I watched your footage first!
