Haha yeah I did.

it was brilliant.

I guess I should bring my car in for a check up now.

I basically maxed out everything my gears were getting limited and when I was trying to accelerate in 4th and it was just doing nothing so I went to 5th to relax the engine a bit between shifts the revs flew up. I didn't know that could happen with a AT.

and HELMETS ARE ******* HOT. I ofcourse as real racing driver() turned off AC and every other possible thing that could steal power from the engine so it was fricking hot. the area around the stick was fricking hot.

Best moment was when I came out to let the engine cool down abit and I noticed these big wet looking spots on the front tires. I almost burned my finger touching them .

And is it possible that after the track day my car shifts alot faster.

My favorite spots on the track

la source. coming from the finish straight at max throttle, slam the brakes turn in at quite high speeds, kiss the inner apex and just floor it making the back slide abit so its in place for the next straight.



eau rouge.

it is ******* scary I tell you. There I am going in at about 120 mph going downhill and you can actually feel the slam when you go in the first turn and you go up. but it is just brilliant.



chicane

just fun throwing the car from side to side.



For those who somehow don't know spa francorchamps

Wow, so very cool!

Get some R-compounds on your car for track day, those high temps will kill your OEM tires……. but what a way to wear them out

Here is a little clip of the GT-R

it really sounds like a jet fighter when it flew by when I was being a spectator while letting the engine cool

Most of us in the US will never see Europe, let alone get to drive our own cars on the tracks we only get to read about and lust after. Video games are as close as we'll get. Thanks for sharing!!!
