So little recap on my latest event. Nothing learned really.
It was at Mont-Tremblant again, and it was wet. 1 session dry, 7 sessions wet. Rivers and lakes were forming on the track.
My Dunlops Direzzas were getting close to the end of their life, so traction was quite difficult. I was in the advanced group, so I got to track at the same time as instructors were tracking their cars. Signed off after 10 minutes in the opening session. In the rain, the car parts (brakes, throttle, tires etc) don't get used very hard... it's more my body that has to go through the ordeal of stress. Feather the throttle, feather the brakes, feather the steering inputs.
Now this was my last event of the year. I'll be going on a few rides in the Fall and then we start over in 2011.
Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves (even montreal red's girlfriend who got a session with an instructor with a track ready Mini Cooper S).
Pseudo Nim got great pics and vids from most of us. We took some of him also. He got to do a few ridalongs with a couple of instructors.
kenneth was signed off early also, and as the others, was not disappointed with the event, even with all that rain. kenneth was bold enough to drive with traction control off even though the conditions were crazy out there.
MTL bimmer came by to say hello, on both days.
It was a pleasure tracking with you guys this year, (sorry Joel, we didn't get to track together this year) Hope to see you (and more of you) next year.
