Donnington Trackday video 17th April

[EVOgone]

Well another trackday done and was my first day at Donnington Park and have to say i really enjoyed the curcuit..!

Day started well got to the track all OK and emptied the car had the briefing and signed on. Quick car check, fluid etc and the check the wheel nuts...Snap..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Passenger side wheel bolt snapped off and the sheared bold was stuck in the hub.>! Bollox look like today is not going to be a good day.. Well got the stud out and Nik (in the trophy was there) lent me a spare wheel bolt and away we went... BIG THANKS I HAVE ODERED SOME NEW ONES.!

First 3/4session there was a lack of grip but in the afternoon it was much better but ran out of tape for the last two sessions..!

Ah well were some interesting cars there on the last run there was an Aston behined us for the full 20min session but the camera was pointed forwards not backward...got into the 1.28s (all laps were 2up) most of the afternoon but need my DS3000 back to go any quicker than that. No craner curves was not flat 1/4 lift so yes im a wuss..!

Anyways enough of me blabbing enjoy......

Last few session in the 28's but couldnt get any fateser unless DS3000's and a -1 passenger (was 2 up all day)....... 27s in a std hp cup is the max for my efforts.....

Was a bout 10- lengths behind but couldnt get close. Dont get me wrong its a faster car but wasnt good enough to get close enough. He was a good sport after each session, had a good chat.... top bloke....

Thats what trackdays are all about... great people enjoying their cars....

Good video

Were you getting tired towards the end? Your lines deteriorate a bit. I find you have to drink all the time or concentration gets low towards the end of a long day. We used to use glutamine drinks alot as the brain feeds on glutamine or glucose. Glutamine provides the energy without interfering with blood sugar levels.

 

[Fred@BTM]

na, he was probably out on the shandys the night before! i know i have a different line every lap!

The video was the morning session and first one from the afternoon...Was my first time at Donnington so you have to play around a bit to see which is best. Last 2 session of the day not on film as i ran out of tape were very good think im sorted for the lines now...

Plus i did go out on the piss the night before and got in at 2:30 as my mate came down and stayed over. Had palputations most of the day..!

Tracks really good enjoyed it...theres a bit more to come time wise but not a lot.

Morning session was 1.30/1s and the afternoon session 29/28s..
