Yes, it was CW. Riding with Jason in the advanced group really made me realize how capable a 3-series can be on a big track, he was very helpful. I have no illusions about keeping up with "proper" track cars, but the handling and speed of his E46 M3 were amazing.
I might try the blue (intermediate) group next time, as I was getting frustrated with a lot of slower traffic. I studied track instructional videos, write-ups, everything I could get my hands on so I think I was better prepared than many others in the beginner group.
I hope to do a few things before I go out next time:
- stainless brake lines
- better brake fluid
- camber plates
- if I really got into it I would love to get the new Apex wheels in a square setup, but the car is only leased for 2 more years so maybe not such a good idea to spend too much $$$. Maybe instead get some Pilot Super Sports for the stock wheels and call it a day...
