Circuit Club Track Day: Wakefield, 13th June 2011

Monday was my first visit back to the track since my crash and unfortunately, it wasn't a triumphant return. About three laps into my second session, I heard a pressurised air sound (a bit like a blowoff valve) under throttle and immediately lost power. The culprit was later found to be a cracked silicone hose where the air leaves the compressor.



The track was very damp at the start of the day, and I had no confidence to push on cold semi slicks. Although I only did about 10 laps, I caught a few slides and got a chance to remember the lines and stuff, so not a complete waste of time. My fastest lap for the day? A whopping 1:33, and dead last! Only one way to go from there :)




Was great to finally make it to the track with Reedy too. He was making light work of some "favoured" competition in his MPS. Great car!
