Well I spent the day up at Santa Pod today even though it was rather frosty and chilly! I didn't even know 6am existed when my alarm went off! Got to the gates just before 8am, paid up, signed on and waited…..and waited……and waited some more.
The track finally opened at 11:40 and was still a little damp so traction starting was a bit of a
problem. Anyway, my times are as per below :
Not sure if my reaction time was down to wheel spin as I thought I was quicker reacting than that. I reckon with 215 tyres (like the Cupra/Boc) and a drier track I could of cut another 0.1-0.2 off the time. Traction control was on every single run and they were switched between sport mode and manual.
So new best time is 14.55 @ 97.28 MPH which I'm happy with
Cars beaten today :
Ford Focus 1.8
Seat Ibiza Cupra R
MG ZS 2.5 v6
Civic Type R
Polo GTi TSi
Can't remember if there were any others!
