Well that was my first track day in the new car.
What a blast I had.
Down at Kames. Im not sure if any of u other scottish guys know it?
So so so much fun, and nice wee bits to slide round a bit. tiny track and very narrow so thought 200 would be too big but im glad I took it on. Learned a lot about the car.
And im much happier with the handlin. Now that I found out front left tyre pressure was way low cause of a slow puncture and thats y it was handlin pish.

Any one else been on that track? or any tracks in Scotland?

Was havin a play with a skyline as well, did 140mph. thats fastest Ive had it yet. It felt really safe and normal, but always a bit worried about blue lights in background.
Whats everyone else had? Will they go much faster?

I have seen video of Kames, but never driven it, the only track day I've done in my 200 is the SSR racewars at crail, and as far as top speed it was yesterday I done my fastest speed of 140 also, car felt like it was doing 60, and was still pulling hard at 140 when I got to a corner and shit myself as I had to corner at 120.

A few of the guys on here have done the last hot marques track day at Knockhill and will be doing one in AugustKnockhill August (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43933) if they let our cheap rusty cars on.Knockhill Problem (http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47591)
