    Thanks!
    I think I did alright for my first ever track session in a car!

    I actually pulled two 1:37s in a row, I have the full video here if anyone is interested:

    No helmets required by the track organizers. It's a relatively slow course.
    I MAYBE hit 130km/h (80mi/h) on the fastest straight (top of 3rd with 4.10s), after which the (fastest) first sweeping corner is at 100km/h (60mi/h).

    Thanks for your concern for my safety though.
    It was my first time out, so I wasn't pushing myself or the car hard. Next time I'll bring my Shoei!

    Impressed with my E30 at the track (video)

    Hey guys!

    So I just did an evening at the track with my E30, and i'm very impressed!
    It handles quite well for a comfortable street setup.

    From what I've read, I expected a lot of lift-off oversteer, but I don't think I managed any even when I was trying to on purpose. Either my setup has dialed this out, or maybe I need to be closer to the limit.

    It's not exactly slow either, the best session I got on video was only two seconds behind my friends PB of 1:35 in a modified early 2000s Mini Cooper S (supercharged +200hp, lighter then my E30)

    I managed some quicker times, but my camera was dead at that point.
