Ploughing through the videos but this looks like a good drive. More time in that car would have definitely seen you quicker. Could easily see confidence growing.
Can't believe how much the tutor pushes you. Excellent to see after seeing other experience days barely let you drive the car.
Thats why JP days are truly the best, you learn more control than you will on any other car day and you are pushed to your limits and beyond.
Though it was scary seeing a couple of the single seaters pile into the tyre walls and then seeing the video of what happens when it goes wrong and can flip over.
So yes they push you, yes you go beyond your limits, you learn more car control and you get to drive truly amazing machinery and a real good mix.
The Clio CUP Racers are without doubt the best hot hatch I've ever driven, on the track they are so forgiving and equally fast too plus a good laugh and easily as quick as the 911 (996) on a track.
Had a good play with a Clio at Donnington today, stripped out.......is there much you can remove from a Clio, LOL? Bucket seats, slick tyres and well lets just say passing him was not easy, even on the straights there was little in it. Though I suspect power per tonne it was probably only 50 down. Its just out of all the hot hatches on track days Clio's always seem to do well.
See I had a thought today, actually start using the Jaguar as more or less a full time daily and convert the 911 to a focused track toy. So GT3 suspension components for more camber adjustment up front, slick tyres, strip the interior and put buckets/harnesses in the car and the result would be circa 1250-1300kg and nearly 400BHP with very sticky rubber.
Or sell the 911 and get a CSL, because there was a CSL today which literally OWNED everything on track and by miles it was so well driven, though having CUP's does help as I've been in a CSL on CUPS through craners at 125mph, crazy stuff.
