928 Track Day At Combe Last Tuesday
« on: 06 June 2011, 22:01 »
Well the weather stayed dry and we got the R888's on the lightweight rims for the first time.

What a difference - so much grip.

The day was very relaxed as usual with a good mix of cars and a good bunch of people (well most of them). There were a few less cars than last year which made waiting a little bit shorter.

The 13 row oil cooler I fitted last month knocked about 15 degrees plus off of the oil temp which was nice.

No dramas for us on the driving or car front, there was a few offs during the day - a nice black M3 managed to put some nice scratches and dents in every panel down one side, an Elise lost a wheel through the chicane and the driver put his head and arm through his side window whilst Dave Da Costa the instructor gave himself a concussion and some very bad bruising.

Overall better than last year - must remember to take my 928 next year.

Yes that will be me. You seemed to be going well, and more importantly going all day and having fun.

He's alright and I doubt it'll stop him any day soon.
