My first track day
Had my first track day in my fairly track modified 370Z with Driver Dynamics at Sandown last Sunday. There was a fully booked out field of 50 cars divided into 3 groups: beginner, intermediate (me) and experienced.
I did four out of five sessions for the day (low fuel) which used nearly my whole full tank of fuel, 65 litres, in about 80 mins or so, about a litre per 2Km! No crashes or offs and no mechanical issues! Fastest speed I got to was 208Km/h. No brake fade but the front Akebono’s did weep a tiny bit of brake fluid from the bleeder nipples which I have heard about when used heavily. After the first two rounds, about 20 mins each, I was keeping my own with V8 M3 BMW’s with drivers that have had plenty of track experience. I was very happy with the day and of course my 370Z and all mods. Will be doing it again. Highly recommend! Optimiser. |

Congrats and welcome to the addiction!
Did you run an entire tank dry (or close to it)? Did you experience fuel starvation? Or perhaps that track has mostly left-hand turns?
