[Circuit Club] MDTC Weekend Try Out!

[tinkerbell]

The track wasnt too busy and could put in alot of laps!!

made the 12 min sessions feel like ages, did abt 8 laps then have to cool down, then hit it again for another 3 or 4 laps...

Thoughts on the track who went over the weekend?

cooling was a *slight* issue, most of the time the engine was between 5000 - 8300rpm in 2nd and 3rd gear, and there was not a lot of straights to let the air rush through the coolers, so temps got up quickly...

track surface was awesome hotmix. really smooth and highly grippy!

the run-off became a lessor issue as you learnt the track, it seemed quite hard to screw it up if you knew what you were doing...

i think the driver trainers they had there helped those who were less confident about the new track (i took one out in my first session - which was perfect way to start!)

the track density of six cars was fine too, i was the fastest in group B, and had no worries overtaking people on the straight every 50 seconds or so...

(following people showed me that either i am a crazy late braker or the other drivers were not going maximum attack)
