Default My first Track Day (Pics)
Hello,

I wanted to share this.

This was my first track day with my car... car was flawless, very good on the turns, a little slow on the straight but this is a good track for the M3 with a lot of short sections (2nd and 3rd gear), I was looking foward to see my tires, suspension and brakes behavior, they did not dissapoint me but I still have a lot to learn.

My car:

Were you driving solo for your 1st event? No instructor?

That's right... my brother (Porsche GT3) knows the track he gave me a couple of laps to show me the course first.

I guess it's all relative, but usually people (myself included) think the other way around!

Looks like a lot of great cars out there - yours isn't looking too bad either Having a good instructor, if available, can help big time too

Well this was my first experience... So my impressions can change in the future.

One time I was chasing a mustang v8, my car was seriously faster in the turns but in the straight he beat me by a five cars length. I know his car has almost 100hp more than my car so no argument there.
