Track day next week

Looking forward to another practice day at Morgan Park which is located on the Darling Downs in Qld Australia an app 2.25 hours away. The "K" track is app 3 klm's long and the course rises and falls with a variety of different corners some are off camber which does not help the rotation of a FWD car at all. I also use the left foot braking to transfer weight to add grip to the front tyres but need to be careful that the rear does not get too light and step out in some corners. There are 2 long sweeping rt hand corners where I need to apply a bit of LFB or a slight lift off of the gas to tuck the front in more towards the apex if the car is drifting or pushing wider than I would like. It will be good testing for a Time Attack event that comes a bit later this year.

Just home from the track that is a 2 1/2 hours drive away and the Honda ran like a Swiss watch and could match the corner speed of most if not all of the mixed bag of cars and outbrake most but the more powerful cars like M3's and Clio turbo's just walk away exiting corners. Had 5 x15 minute sessions on the 3klm K track. The non turbo FN2 drank the 98 RON using 21 litres per 100 klm's.

Just checked my times on Natsoft and was surprised to see that I had lowered my previous PB by 3 tenths of a second.
