Literally drove all day, picked up the track hire car 5 miles down the road, drove to track and got stuck in. In retrospect, one of the silliest things I have ever done (I have along list). The video is a mix of the three laps I did."Just this first part you need to be a little bit careful with" ... idiot!Would I do it again, hell yeah. However, I would probably allow a few days and buy / sell a car and / or do some hot laps in Ring Taxi's.The excess on a ringed out Renault Cleo was eye watering .. they per-resreve on your CC.

Would have been fun .

I had managed to memorise key parts of the track I thought would be the worst. What you can't prepare for is the traffic, it is like an open server in real life (with greater consequences). I had to stitch the 3 laps together to get a "clean" lap. And.. it was a quiet day when I was there.

What a great little car that was.Can't say I was young and stupid, even back then. Just stupid. There is no way I would go anywhere near a race track in these conditions today.

These were done with the stage2 tuned Toyota 86 - I loved that car, too, especially on the track, it was meant to be taken out.I've a wet session record here, too. But it's nowhere near that bad.

Later I had sessions with TC off, but I have stopped making videos of these sessions after a while. I should have taken tc off earlier, it's a lot more educational; and catching the 86 mid-spin is actually very easy - with years of online experience, hehe. « Last Edit: March 24, 2020, 02:12:32 PM by Bird » Logged ab156 Sr. Member Posts: 279 Karma: 11 Re: ABs silly videos « Reply #8 on: March 24, 2020, 07:38:27 PM » Quote from: Bird on March 24, 2020, 02:03:24 PMOk so I've got a few track vids from before, too.

This vid is a good example of how much more "time" you have in real word before you hit the cliff on front slip (see T2 - T4), noted this is on Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres which are pretty epic, slicks are another level but I don't have much experience on them at speed.The Beast .. this one won't be going anywhere (COVIS-21 permitting.). With previous cars I have felt I was within reaching distance of capability, this one makes an idiot looks good. I suspect I am at 70% of the car capability. It is embarrassing how good this car is.Before you ridicule.. most track days make you wear a suit if you have a cage and harness (which are factory fitted in my case ).

Nice one Bird, Wakefield was the track I went to for a lot of Historic racing ( I used to live in Canberra) great track for spectators as you can see all of the track . I will be interested in watching some dry track action of you from your link.
