Zandvoort saturday 16december

[Ivan141]

Edit: [NoHachi@pc Ivan] The dude tha rammed us of the road has serious issues.. Luckily the Dutch mind your own buisiness attitude ensured us that there were no witnesses that stopped..big thanks
@Banpei..A picture wouldnt have made much of a difference..we got his license plate and an exact time. Not to mention that we were at the police office about 10 seconds after the event..but its difficult to prove these kinds of things,..especially if the damage isn't that big. He can just claim that he didn't notice ramming us off the road.

Quote:next time i'll be there also and kicking ya azzz Puh
today i was the driftschool instructeur@niederrhein,so no zandvoort for me,shame it was wet all the time


ivan,i have the solution for youre trailerbitch problem,but you know that already Thumbsup let me know plz

You probably would have kicked our asses this time...too bad for you, you won't get many other chances like this one. Let me know when you're instructing again at Niederrhein..will be a nice chance to learn the car better and you can get to compare the SR86 to our CA86.


Otherwise the day went pretty strange..lots of crap that prevented us from getting onto the track in time..damned thing is just to low to drive on and off a trailer. Luckily the organisation didn't keep an eye on the big paddock so Ivan, Chell, Senna and me got a couple of hours playtime.

It was my first time ever trying to drift...besides being totally gay, I guess it was pretty fun ;-) It didn't exactly help that it was also one of the first experiences with this car..lots of hp, very little front end grip (crap tires). Usually the LSD would guarantee that the car just plowed into understeer. Veeeery different feeling compared to my miata, which had so much front end grip that faint drift initiations were just peanuts.. However the suspension setup of the CA86 is excellent...its pretty easy to keep it sliding and the tankslapper (2nd drift...BIG probn'lem in the miata) was just too easy to controll..I was late with countersteering lots of times, but the car would just settle after recovery..very naish!

The oil cap popped off spilling some oil onto the tubbie and manifold..BIG clouds of smoke coming from the engine compartment, interior of the car (came in through the shifter opening) and exhaust too..must have looked..uhm...interesting. Car did look great on the starsharks though..They could use a spacer maybe but the shiny chrome and red really suits the black car..Sorry, no pictures..settings on the camera were bad so they all turned out crap :-(

After some time playing I managed to do some mini-drifts that wouldn't even impress a 10 year old.

The trackday could be described in one sentence: Too busy.. If this was a cold, rainy, saturday morning in december, then I just don't want to know how sessions in the summer months are. NOT recommended for novices.[/NoHachi@pc Ivan]
