Track season just about started in our part of the world, yes I know guys you are going to hate me due to the winter weather you have now but its only for 4 months than after that its scorching hot in our part of the world.

So I took my ta last week to the track as its been a while since last season and I only drove it twice on track. This time I went with pirelli slicks and compare them with michelins which I usually run on my other car. Grip was superior everywhere and that reduced my previous lap time and really didn't notice any much of a difference between pirelli and michelins. However although I'm still enjoying tracking the car I still need to push the car more thats why I didn't see the benefits of slicks, after seeing the videos on track I can count many mistakes. Early braking points, hesitation on the throttle at corner entry and transition from throttle to braking and vice versa is slow. The reason for the early braking points is that I think that the brakes won't be sufficient to slow the car down. I know I should try to push it every time so I can know the limits of the brakes and that is what I'll do next track day in 2 weeks.

I'd love to hear your feedback on areas of where to improve etc. Again the car is on ta rotors with carbotech pads front and rear, pirelli slicks on sidewinder 2 wheels, heads and cam package and bbs headers and corsa exhaust.

Here is the video of the fastest lap that I got; please disregard the shouting from my passenger as he was giving me pointers on track.



Last thing for anyone that haven't tracked his viper on track you are missing out big time.

Thanks
