Anyone going to do Vir on December With Tidewater club ?

 

[T41WN.1]

Did my first ever track day and felt like an absolute noob despite having one of the best handling cars there. Defintely got reminded to not do any power mods but instead need driver mod.

Are there any tips on how to drive better especially in this car? How do you guys enter corners etc.? On my second ever turn I understeered off the track (defintely driver error) XD

Any tips are appreciated

Drive with an organization that offers in car instructors. Invaluable.

Question for guys running track pads and then switching back to street pads. Do you do any type of bedding procedure when you put the track pads in for the first time? Or when you switch between compounds for a subsequent track weekend?

Get an instructor. Most clubs would not let you go out on your own with no track experience.

If there’s autox events near you and it’s way cheaper than track days, give it a try. I remember when I first autox, I understeered into many corners. You can learn a bit of car physics at a lower speed.

Other than that, it’s just seat time.

PRL HVI on the way. I don't know if there are any gains to be had, but I want to hear more turbo noises

And I was due for an air filter change anyway, so this seemed like the obvious replacement.

Did you get all the boosty noises you were hoping for with your HVI Svvitch ?

I got let on with the Renault Club people but it was because I had a friend who was part of the club hahah.

I will give auto X a try next time

It's hard to drive on the road right after a track session because everytime I approach a turn I want to send it in lol

I know what you mean. That just means you need to get back to the track to keep it safe.

Yes they should be bedded in. If you stay within the same brand, they usually play nice without needing a rebed

Wow this looks promising - any links to videos with this setup yet?

Here is the result:


Unfortunately, it fell off on my next track day so I tried something new:
