Mostly it was about learning a bit more about driving quickly and getting to know the car a bit better. I had expert tuition on hand all day as my father is an experienced racing driver who has driven single seaters for years as well as run a race team, these days he takes his Elise out to Snetterton from time to time. I was a bit worried that the MR2 would be way out of its depth, especially given the firepower of some of the machinery there.
My car has no mods other than a stainless exhaust, the front dampers are pretty new from Toyota but who knows when the rears were last replaced and I think the springs are original! I needn't have worried because I had a great time anyway and I was really impressed with the way the MR2 can put the power
(!) down, much earlier out of corners than the fwd cars. If I were to do it regularly I'd try more track oriented brake pads and take it from there, brake fade was limiting my time on the track and I had to drive sensitively to preserve them.
Not terrible, just the first thing to go.
but would be keen to get my SW20 onto a track for the first time.
