So then. Spa. Was my second track day there, but first time in the Evo.
The weather couldn't have been better, around 15 degrees and low wind with no rain in sight. :thumbup:
I've recently had a lot done to the car, such as new suspension, front brakes and around 410 bhp or so to play with. I'd say I'm a novice track driver with a lot to learn but I found myself keeping up with Porsche's and GTR's at various points throughout the day so I was happy.
Here's the first vid I've put on YouTube:

Some photo's of the day taken by staff around the track:
Unfortunately I had braking issues all day, I was getting a lot of fade. I put it down to my brake fluid as I couldn't hear anything amiss. However towards the end of the day I could hear metal on metal from the rear. I had no choice really so I took the car to the Ring to get Freddie from Spezialised Brakes to fit me some new rear pads. Here are my old ones!
Obviously did a few laps while I was there, photo's to come when I've gone through the ones from the usual photographers there.

I'd love to, but two issues:
1) Brakes felt off, probably due to lack of meat on the rear pads. I was getting a little bit of fade and a lot of pedal travel.
2) Lack of bravery/skill. :lol:
