You did good! Respecting the Ring and learning slowly is way better than ending up in the safety barrier on your first lap :-) It would be a shame for that nice car. Also, the traffic was quite heavy, so definitely a good decision to take the defensive approach. Agreed on the tires: get some decent ones and set the pressure right. It can make a huge difference in grip. Many ringtools are equipped with semi-slicks for the track, but even having some decent commercial summer road tires can be a good choice for the occasional tourist drive visit (e.g.: I have ContiSportContacts on the Mondeo at 4:02). Thanks for the clean pass, btw. Just out of curiosity, what were you saying there ? :-)
I was stunned with number of cars. Didn't expect that much traffic. Your tires definitely suck. So change your tires, get the grip and try again. That car on that track deserves more than 143km/h. :-) But after all, you've done it!!!
I wish I could take my fbo gt there and my tires are some thicky boys 9.5 wheel on 255s this run was so bad i it was probably stock ride height to that body roll was ridiculous 😂
At first I thought you could go way faster, but then I heard your tires squeal. You definitely need new rubber. Regards from another bad driver ;-) in the silver BMW at 3:01
