Update!
On Friday there (30th October) I had my first ever track outing which was on Knockhill. I'll cut straight to it: the trackday was epic.
The tyres, suspension and gearbox - among other things - all performed brilliantly on track. Manual steering was also a delight and the weighted feel was spot on.
Overall the weather was very good considering the time of year. When we arrived at Knockhill there was a bit of drizzle and the first few sessions were damp. The AD08 tyres gripped fairly well and I'd say they're decent for wet/damp conditions. After an hour, the track started to dry, the temperature increased a little and absolutely no rain either which made for ideal conditions.
I was especially impressed by the Carbone Lorraine RC5+ pads. Wow, absolutely no regrets with this pad choice and I highly recommend them or the more hardcore RC6. No fade and not once did I have to worry about stopping power on track. Magnificent.
I've definitely got the track bug. Not so much in terms of wanting to carry out track-oriented mods such as a cage, plated diff etc. but more so in wanting to become faster and smoother. I'd happily go round Knockhill with the exact same setup next year.
Not a lot of media, just a few snaps.
