Decided to do something different and start my own “track diary” to record my progress in my quest for speed.
Let’s see how long this lasts... will try to update overtime.

1. BMW-SG Track Day –27 Feb 2010 – 2:38.50
It wasn’t pretty (especially T4 and T11) but it was a personal best.
Track was unfortunately crowded throughout the session and this was the only clear run I had all day (except for the M5 at t15 which was scary!).

2. MPT Time Attack – 30 Apr 2010 – 2:37.80
30 April 2010 MPT Time Attack.
Did my best time (and new personal best) in the practice session with a 2:378. Did 2:379 in the actual time attack.
Only change to my car's set-up from the 27 Feb BMW track day was to tighten up my rear sway bar one notch to create a bit more oversteer. Ended up totally changing the handling of the car... never realised that such a small adjustment could make such a big difference. Actually ended up in the T12 gravel in my first 3 hot laps (the first time I almost hit the wall, will put a video up later). Also went off (or close to) at various times of the day at T4, T6 and T11... lost count but probably off the tarmac about 6-7 times, luckily with no damage to the car or red flags. This is a lot considering I have only been in the gravel 2 or 3 times in total before this track day.
Overall, an interesting day and learnt a lot. Didnt win my class in the time attack, but my claim to fame was being fastest on street tires... ha ha
Sorry about the sound. My external microphone ran out of battery and the internal mic isnt that fantastic and picked up more wind than anything else

Should be able to go faster...
