Thought I'd share a few from my first trackday in the Zed in Oct last year Apologies for the fairly long-distance shots - I had a friend with me taking shots who wasn't familiar with my camera, and I'm a cheapskate so don't have a mega lense

Goodwood. Low 1:29 achieved, car has more in it, driver needs to be a bit braver

Great photo Tom! You made it out to Donny ok? I saw your post re front pads, I'd have happily given you my st45s in the garage but only got home from holiday this evening!

It was pretty impossible to not need a 'dab of oppo' at that corner tbh! But it's an interesting photo to me also. I'd been struggling so much with traction out of the tight stuff (compared not only to gt3etc but also m3/4) and looking at the rubber left behind me there is little rubber laid down in the centre of the stripe. Could be tyre pressure (they were about 31 psi hot, I'll try that a little higher on friday), but maybe it needs more camber which I've found in the past doesn't work well with the small amount of toe out I run at the rear. Think I might rethink the geo a bit and go -ve or neutral toe at the rear with more camber (i'm on about -1.8 or so), not sure yet. Maybe I can do something with the (currently neutral toe -3ve camber front to help turn in, which I found the +ve rear toe really helped with. It's all a compromise in the end isn't it, feeling fun isn't necesarily fastest, and there's always someone faster than you one a track day that's for sure!
Thanks for the thought with the pads, thankfully a guy brought a set down with him. They were the st45s, I hadn't tried them yet, thought they were amazing and better than the 'mu's I have. Extremely dusty though

Looks awesome Tom!
Fortunately, like you, I kept it quite minimal.
I found this as well, (obviously) much more so since I've installed the LSD. The M3s and M4s that were attending the evening session created a bit of a challenge to see who can hold the biggest drift out of Melbourne! A few spun completely and they all got a talking to when they returned to the pits lol

nice! It's a fun but frustating corner/sequence. Much prefer the national layout.

I also prefer the national layout. Though I do find when attacking the chicane in the national layout the tyre barrier seems very close!
