At the starting line waiting for the lights to go green. Lights go green, I drop the clutch and the car surges BACKWARDS... Oops! R is not Race mode, welcome back to driving me. Despite the stupid start, it was good to be back driving under these conditions again.
Weather was looking ominous for the most of the day but the rain held off until well into the afternoon.
Being a little unprepared with my camera gear, I used the helmet strap and tape to improvise!
The weather wasn't all bad.
Me trying to work out what all the lights mean! Had to WhatsApp the EXE BRZ team (Jorge & Des) to help out haha.
After I found the right gear, I was on my way.
Still no idea how the 'lines' work. But I did get some very handy pointers from Adam throughout the day.
The maze of possible routes. A co-driver or something to tell me where to go would of been useful.
After seeing all the PB videos with the overlays, I had to try it out for myself. Synchronising the video and the timing was a little tricky, but very happy with the result. I had more footage but there was too much glare. Time to get a proper GoPro mount.
Official clockwise PB was a 68.62 (vs 67.38 RaceChrono). Plenty of room for improvement and looking forward to going back already.
Clockwise Hi/Lo speed traps. It was all about balancing the car on its wheels and hustling.
Official Figure 8 PB was 77.51 (vs 75.93 RaceChrono). Fairly big discrepancy there maybe due to the clouds rolling in during the afternoon. Also not too many laps completed because I decided to bail before the rained.
Figure 8 Hi/Lo speed traps. I was finding chunks of time each lap so fingers crossed I'll come back faster next time.
Drivers briefing
Everyone listening carefully and noting that you cannot take corner 3 flat 😂
Twins mates. I was feeling a bit anti-social so I didn't say Hi but will put it down as something to do for next time!

I was thinking 'I need a harness too!'
