My first track day
 
6 Attachment(s)
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.

Looking good!
What tires and brake pads were you running?

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?
