Yeah, no drift for me (no matter how hard I tried on the track!) although I wanted to try. I ended up running grip only because I found out I couldn't switch during the middle of the day like I had planned. Here are some of my thoughts from the day:
My limits as a driver are getting close to the limits of my car. Finally. I'm a lot faster than the people who were in my group. There is no excuse for a stock motor RS passing Evos and 350Zs. Making the tires sing for 2/3 of a lap is fun, but expensive. My right front is down to 4/32. Time to remount them backwards! I now know what "neutral handling car" means. I hate Minis. I look like a dork when I know a camera is on me. I still look like a dork when I don't know it's on me. That white RS belonged to an instructor, and was almost stock, no turbo. I hate Minis. I'm ready for a turbo. I hate Minis.

Because some jerk with a Cooper S wouldn't let me by. Rode his bumper for 7 laps before he went into the pits. We were only running the east loop, turns 1-7. I was faster on 1-6, but his car was a bit faster on the straight and I couldn't pass him out of 7. He refused to let me by, even though I would have lost him after 3 turns.

I guess there are two things you could have done about it - go off to the hot pits for about 30 seconds till he's at turn 3, then get back on; or, go talk to him or his instructor (assuming he had one) after the session and remind him about his rearview mirror.
Assuming you paid money for this track day, its not worth staying annoyed and not learning while you're on his tail. 'Course with that short track, you might've caught him again in a few laps, who knows? |
