First track session. Great fun and great people.
The Tokyo guys where a really nice bunch.
Found out a lot about the car.
Blouch was super responsive with power always there when I needed it.
Plenty of mid range so I didn't really work the redline.
Tyres where not terrible bit definitely not track tyres.
Nice and predictable but easy to get loose on brakes or power if not careful. I was not there for track records so by the end I was happy to power slide out of corners just for fun.
Brakes where stellar. Didn't fade or show any signs. I was hardly late braking every corner though and the runs where relatively short.
Car was pretty well balanced. Relatively neutral. Easy to oversteer with a bit of throttle control.
Car wasn't up to being continuously ran.
Had to extend my breaks between runs to cool oil down properly. I assume due to multiple factors. Stock cooling system with a closed deck. 5w40 instead of say 5w60 and no oil cooler.
I seen what was up with my temp and pressure and avoided what could have been potentially catastrophic.
Was perfectly fine with extended breaks.
So yeah plenty of fun, car came out unscathed. Didn't bin it or spin off. Know what I need for next time.
