Not your average Sunday

For those in the motorsports circle are well aware that Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Open Track Day is really hard to come by. Just a few for the whole year. But last Sunday, was such a day and I was there! Already went twice this year in January and February, so its been sometime.

What a great outing! Almost missed it coz I thought the session was 3PM – 6PM, but it was 2PM – 5PM instead. But due to the really low traffic in SIC decided to join anyway even just about 90 minutes left.

The braking and exhaust upgrades did make a slight difference. More confidence under braking especially into T1 and T14. And also higher top speed on the straights. I was doing just shy of 180km/h in the last outings, but this time I topped 186! Too bad still did not take lap timing. Too busy looking at the quickly shrinking piece of tarmac ahead. But the brakes are still fading after just 4 laps. Need to look into that next.

Here's some pics of me tackling T9 SIC, thanks to evolusiotomobil website.

After the session, other than some bad graining on all 4 tires, seems to be no other damage on the car. Phew! Looking forward to the next one.
