Hi All,
Did my 1st TD in my Z4M today at Brands Hatch Indy.
It was an afternoon session, open pit lane and was wet for most of the afternoon with rain at times turning to drizzle, a brief rest bite, then more drizzle/rain. The track never dried out and remained ridiculously slippy all afternoon. I honestly cannot remember Brands being this slippy ever before!
That said despite the stiff set up of my car and OE Conti's that are past their best, it behaved impecably... Yes quite a few oppo lock moments as rears cried "y'er 'avin' a laugh m8!!!" but breakaway was easy enough to gather up.
I managed a good pace all afternoon and towards the end of the day consistently saw 125-128mph at the end of the pit straight.
Am proud to say towards the end of the day when the track was more damp than wet (still v slippy) I was only being passed by race cars on "wets/inters" (was an ARDS day too).
There was a Radical which was stupidly quick given the conditions
(Respect!)
My Z4M did me proud - It does feel very at home on the track (in some ways more so than on the road) - I got a few comments too on how good it sounded with the throttle wide open 8)
The Stoptech BBK was stunningly effective with fade free powerful retardation, awesome F/R balance and oh so easy to modulate which was so essential in the conditions experienced today (stunning BBK).
Am looking forward to lots more TD's this year
