Today was the day of the isdc track day which was held on the international circuit in mondello.
I have only ever been on the national track so it was a nice change.
After briefing off I went on 2 laps behind the recovery truck to learn the lines. Instantly loved it.
Last time on the track I set my tires to 28psi cold. They felt at bit unsteady. This time I went with 32psi cold. The eagle f1's felt much better at this psi. Car felt very steady and planted.
I spent most the morning just taking it handy to learn the track and breaking points.
After lunch I felt more confident with my lines and breaking points that I started to attack the corners. It was the first time I have really felt the integra come alive. Only mods to the suspension I have done are spoon springs. The brakes are standard brembo pads as well which held up very well.
Since this is my daily driver I would tend to go out for 5-6 laps. 1 warm up lap, 3-4 fast laps then a cool down lap and in for 20-30mins to let everything cool down.
I cant see me going back to the national track after being on the international.
Went out for 2 passengers laps with Alan in his Megane r26 and a time attack td04 starlet gt.
I was extremely surprised how well planted the megane was, zero body roll on factory suspension. The brakes were out of this world. He had RC6 pads on. I have never felt braking like that before matched with his big callipers and discs, they were perfect. The grip from his nankang AR-1 was spectacular. I enjoyed a fair few dices with the subarus as a passenger.
Now onto the time attack starlet. I seen this going around the track throughout the day and looked very fast. Off I went never being in a time attack car before. What a car and a serious pilot. He was doing 2.00 laps throughout the day and even got a 1.59 which is extremely fast.
Each passenger lap I had I learned the lines even more.
I loved the day, was a great crowd there and zero messing.
Before the next track day I would like to upgrade my pads, discs and brake fluid so I can leave braking that bit later. I think I will stick with the Eagle f1's until they wear down and replace them with AD08R's or Potenza RE11's.
I only managed to take one pic of my car on the day which was this
