Trax 2007

2nd September 2007

Trax is the last big car show of the season for us at silverstone with a mass of cars from all over the globe, from the usual jap cars to the totally unusual sight of a hillman imp out on track. This show brings a massive crowd and the traffic is a real problem, so it was a 5.30 start to get there early. With all 3 cars all packed up (sierra GT, XR4I and Janspeed turbo) we were off. unfortunatly just before corley services a car had crashed and gone off the road so we had to sit there for an hour & half before we could move. Once we started to move again time was tight to get there in time for our briefing to go out on track, but we made it with only 10 min to spare. We found out that we were doing the 3.2mile grand prix circuit so we got the car all ready and Pablo went out on track for his 20min session but only got 15min because of a few cars going off. Bart went out for his session out on track and again the session was cut short because of somebody going off so only got 4 laps in. For our 3rd and final session we flipped a coin to see who would go out Pablo won the toss but he told Bart to go out so he went out for the last session. This time the start was delayed by 5 min due to oil being spilt on the track so again that was cut short. All in all it was a good day but think that there should be some kind of order to sessions ie novice, intermediate and advanced because there is potential for a serious crash with slow and very fast cars out on track at the same time.
As for the car she ran faultlessly all day and we were very pleased with the performance of the engine, brakes and tyres which now seam to have scrubbed in.
