Not your average Sunday Jan 09

new season starts!

my first track day this year. organized by subaru club malaysia, especially for club members. and different from normal session, it was on saturday morning, instead of the more punishing afternoon sessions like the open trak days.

nothing much to say really. really great outing. the car was OK. tyres are almost gone now, but sadly so are too the brake pads. first time trying out the APP slotted front rotors on track. i would say, it was superb. easily shorten my braking point by another 20m at the end of the straights. and the result of al that? a lap time of 2:49! or 4 seconds faster than my previous best! new technique learnt, left foot braking which is really useful. good to see my lap times going down at every visit. and i was very comfortable going round the track. not so nervous anymore.

but it's going to be a very expensive trak day since i drove past a policeman on the highway to sepang doing 130km/h+ *sigh* surely will get summoned. additionally had a small chip on my front windscreen from a flying gravel.

well, what to do. part and parcel of the experience i guess hehehe

p/s: sorry no photos for the time being. still using a borrowed notebook which i can't download my photos into
