Did my first ever trackday yesterday at Anglesey. What a mega day. Only prep i did was a front set of Ferrodo des2500's. I'm suprised by how the car performed! much much better than I was expecting. Was a good mixture of cars on track to compare to and had a few passenger rides in various things. Was lucky enough to have some tuition from friends who know the place rather well and it was noticable the difference between entrance/exit speeds in the morning and afternoon. Was initially damp so got to grips with the car sliding and by the dry afternoon was really flying. Will be after upgrading brakes all round for next time and some different tyres. The OEM tyres handled really well but after 5/6 laps the front became a bit slippy.
Few pics from the day











Mate gave the Ferrari a run for it's money. Ferrari didn't pull in 3 laps... haha







And tunnel run vidio on way home...

Was Anglsey Possy, £129 for the trackday. getting down there, hotel between us and fuel etc. Works out to be a few quid but definately worth it.

Leon, Few side ways moments but really did chuck it about and it was fine!

not really Ad, was more focused on entrance/exit speeds than actual times
