carl0s Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I was there! I was the only Supra there too! Amanda heard some people at the start/finish line fence saying "I wanna see the Supra". Then they were like "aw. Why's he going slow and indicating all the time? :(" I was lucky enough to have my girlfriend's father-in-law with us who's a bit of a pro, particularly when it comes to Oulton Park, and he took me around a couple of times and explained a lot of stuff to me. I didn't get much time in myself but I'm eager to go back again as I have a lot to learn. He said "car feels good" I didn't know a car could go through bends so quickly. It felt great in the passenger seat, really, incredible. Malcolm had his little race car there too, but I just missed out on a go in that because I had to shoot out for petrol, and they closed the track 10 minutes early. It's a ZX-12 engined two seater made by Spire Sportscars. Amanda went in it and said it was incredible. All in all it was a top day. The car loved it - there was smoke pouring from the brake pads after Malcolm took it around for a couple of laps but then it didn't have track pads on it, and the discs had took on a nice bluey tinge We took lots of photos on the camera but they're all on my laptop, so I just have these two for now: http://www2.css-networks.com/oulton/1.jpg http://www2.css-networks.com/oulton/2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 You let your girlfriend go out alone, in a car, with Malcolm.....? You let Malcolm drive YOUR car...? He's beguiled you all, it'll end in tears Told you you'd love it (Oulton, not Malcolm....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Performance Friction 01 compound, Their website only lists the Z-rated pads for the Supra Where's the cheapest place to buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'll get you a price, but it will be next week now. Z rated are no use to you, they are a road pad, not up to serious track (Malcolm) abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Great. The next track day might be on 1st May so I'll be chasing you up by the end of next week if that's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
