a day at Hockenheim - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Well the weather held good for a few hours and got a Hours worth of track time in . temp was around 4 deg C. sunny and windy
Some things I found out .
The RII tires take a very long time to come to temp out there at that temperature.
Brakes cooled too fast to maintain optimum temp for good braking.

I mysteriously became a mad drifter through the corners and I wasnt even trying . I don't know if that is a bad thing or a good thing.

Motorcycles and Bikes don't mix on the same course , cars seem to have the advantage when it comes to cornering . One bike did a lowside , he walked away but I believe his pride was hurt.

And I still can't take or hangwith a GT3 in the tight corners but on sweepers and straights They get passed looking silly.

Was gonna go out for a third session 30 minutesession but it started snowing. I called it quits and went home.

Total cost breakdown roughly 4 dollar entry pass and 14 dollar for each session gas about eighty dollars for gas.

My R&R is winding down so I 'll be back out there in May when I am home for good.
Later folks

Hey Val If you see this , We gotta have our next car meet out there when we get back for good.
