My first track day, I didn't really believe these tires would get sticky at the track. I was wrong. Quite sticky to the touch.

I'll edit GoPro footage down to a single lap next week sometime and post it. My son and I had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.

I tried to do the same before my first track day but I couldn't find my third world country economy car version of the golf 4 (a gol power) anywhere as a mod for asseto Corsa so I had to train with an alpha mito with a 50% restrictor lol

Still didn't feel the same but at least it helped me know the course

Funnily enough driving a real car is a lot easier, the only thing harder is the manual vs the paddle shifter

Great solution! I also used AC and a mod for the course. Though it had my car.

I'm still getting used to paddle shifting, so I found my M7 easier to shift.

But I was gun shy, I got better times in the sim. I just couldn't push my car that hard even though it was a pretty forgiving run off, only one wall you can hit and it's on the inside of turn 1.

Drive in your comfort zone, but the only way to get faster is to get uncomfortable, and that will eventually give you a whole new unwanted perspective on a turn.

May the kitty litter be effective and undamaging.

I have no idea what this means, yet I'm willing to make it my life motto without question lol

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

"Kitty Litter" is the sand or gravel that is in the oopsie zone off-track to help stop a car.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Lol I had no idea. The track I'm on doesn't have that. It's out in the middle of nowhere.
