1st track day at anglesey

[Marc jones]

Got my 1st track day tomorrow at Anglesey
Looking forward to it I've booked tuition so hopefully that will help

Any 1st track day advice would be great

 

[imprezaworks]

Don’t crash.

Just take it easy mate and have a fun day

Loads of room there, one of the widest tracks in the UK.

Plenty of grip too but slippery in places if it's wet. The left hander leading up to the pit straight is one to look out for if it's wet.

 

[Marc jones]

Cheers guys what sort of tyre pressure you recommend

 

[JamesBryan]

What tyres are you on?

Road tyres, keep them at 30-33psi when hot.

You’ll have so much fun!

Hopefully the weather is nice for you.

Anglesey is very oversteery in the wet. The left before the pit straight as said being the main contender.

Come in when you feel you’re pushing too hard/being a dick and calm down a bit.

Don’t drive in your mirrors. Focus on your line and the upcoming corner before moving over to let other cars past.

Enter corners there a lot later than you’d think too. It’s very sweepy.

Bed the brakes in well as it’s quite heavy on them in places.

Be mindful of Rwd cars if it’s moist.

28 psi hot.

Check wheel bolt torque. Don’t torque when hot.

Have fun and don’t be a hero

What’s the forecast for tomo?

Just don’t go all hero on road tyres as they will go off quickly. Steady pace and just aim to get quicker etc. You will have great fun.

 

[Marc jones]

Cheers for the comments and advice lads,, I think it's wet 1st thing and drying up dinner time

 

[shiftspark]

Perfect then, as you can build your speed over the day.

If wet set pressures as above 33/31 and be as smooth on steering and throttle input as possible. If you find the racing line slippery go offline on see if that helps as rubber on the racing line can be slippery when wet.

Once it starts drying up reduce pressures to the above as they'll start to increase the dryer the track becomes. Always do a warm up and cool down lap and remember to leave your handbrake off when just coming off track as the rear pads can bind to the discs.
