Hillclimb Results - Track Photo Added

Great news all.

Thanks to my new Federal tyres (under the advice of Bullet32) and hopefully a little skill improvement... I won fastest lady of the day

Todays event was a two-lapper (which doesn't happen often) and instead of losing by 700th of a second, my closest competitor was myself in another car (4.13 seconds behind) then an RX7 (6.25 seconds behind) YES... the very same RX7 that got me last time.

Ladies results being:

90.31 - Me in my little GTST

94.44 - Me in hubbys Volvo (T4 category)

96.56 - RX7 (T4 category)

97.38 - RX7

99.46 - Nissan EXA

105.83 - Subaru Impreza

Then what surprised me most from the day was also coming second in the category (Type 1/2 over 3001cc) which was bittersweet considering I was beaten by my own car (by a further 2 seconds) so I don't think I will be willing to share my Skyline with hubby next time, he can stick to his Volvo LOL although I must say, it was fun co-driving two cars and having twice the runs.

The new Federal tyres were a dream and I believe I can better my time yet again once I get used to their extra grip. Each run I made an effort to brake later and increase the speed on the cornering and they just STUCK.

Thanks again to all who helped.

Cheers

Michele

PS: Can anyone tell me what I have to do to register/enter for the SAU track day at Wakefield on Sun 8th July? Just for practice of course, my little gtst is pretty standard and couldn't compete with the kW's you guys are talking.

I should add that the Volvo (Volden as we call it) runs a 308, slicks etc and therefore I should have been able to beat my Skyline time but I'm far more comfortable in my little girl.

To say I'm "happy" with the tyres would be an understatement. When I thought it was about to lose traction in the tail end (as it normally would) I noticed they gripped in again, so I didn't need to back off. I cut around 2 seconds off my PB for the first split time (which is same as the normal single lap event) and I'm certain I will improve on my PB in July once I get used to my new limitations.

If you only knew how many times I blessed those tyres as I was going around yesterday hehe.

Thank you

Michele
