What a great day - and this time no smashes :lol:
What a great trackday car the Teg is.... Always knew it but everytime - i'm just amazed how well they perform.
So the westfields and caterhams couldn't lose me on the straights, but they just brake so much later and turn better so on the twisties they pulled ahead. The two beemer M3's that were there were lost in my wake on the long right hand bend and everything the stock elise just had to wave me through. The elise sport 160 was a bit tougher and was about even - probably my pants driving.
Only downpoint of the day was when my son Liam locked the car keys inside with the ignition on and the radio blaring away. Was about to get trailered home by Alan Blencowe and loose 1/2 a days track but was saved by the AA in the end. 2 mins after him turning up I was in my baby again and only lost an hour of track time! So Liams gonads are still attached - but only just :evil: :lol:
Dunlop D01J's were awesome - once warmed up - but incredibly noisey. I found them very predictable in the slides and power slides out of the hairpin. I didnt beleive Dan the Man when he talked about drifting a teg but it can be done - not exactly drift - more a power slide. But good fun - but a bit wasteful on speed exiting the bend.
Think my suspension needs looking at though. The spoons were knocking about like my old knees do down the gym. Been worse since I had the camber adjusters fitted at system R. Especially on the little chicane going from full one side to the other.
So if you've not tracked your teg yet - get it done...!
Keevil next month I think! £99 on 15th May - bring it on !
