1st Ever Skid Pan Day

[TOMsGPTurbo]

Hey guys,

 

Some of you may be aware that it was my 24th birthday not to long ago and my g/f organised for me to attend a Advanced driver training day including skid pan.

Damn did I have some fun, I actually enjoyed myself a bit to much and didn't try to set any decent times on the timed little races we had.

 

Learnt a whole bunch of stuff about breaking, turning and breaking, but more importantly the limits of the Astra.. and the limits where reached very quickly!!!

 

I found myself getting the little thing skidways to many times, and I must say it's very easy to get yourself out of a pickle if needs be.

 

My competitetion for the day include:

2004 model 993 GT3 Porsche (Built for Targa Tas with Camera gear!)

Audi A4 fitted with GT30 Turbo + Porsche breaks

Audi TT tuned

Audi S3 tuned

Audi S4

VW Golf R32 (V6 AWD)

VW Golf GTI tuned

Mazda RX8 tuned

Mazda MX5 tuned

:D

 

Well... my best result was being only 1sec off the time off the VW GTi, don't ask about the others!

 

I didn't have much memory so only photos for now, I have a couple of vids of me, R32 and S4m but I need to work out how to host them.

 

 

Anyhow boys and girls... I highly recommend that you go and attend, learn some stuff and cut fully sic bro :D
