Return to Tsukuba Circuit.




So, back to Tsukuba finally on Saturday. It was my first time back on the Track in over 6 months      ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

半年ぶりの筑波2000!!


The plan was just to get some seat time and see how the car is, as I haven't been on a Track since early December last year...
I also needed to try and make a decision as to what direction I will go tyre wise as the Neova's are just not working for me at all.

とりあえず、乗ってみる感じでいてみました。タイヤも替えるかなと思っています。まだ考え中ですけど。。


Due to a lot of oil on the Track there was no point going for broke, but I didn't go there with that intent anyway.
Despite the 35 degree c ambient temperature, oil temp didn't go over 110 degrees c, and I was really happy with how the car went, the overall balance of the car really is just so good now it's really easy to drive fast.


The first 2 sessions were also my first time in the new 'E' Class which is for sub 1:07 second cars. This is very welcome as last year practically every time I came here I had a hard time cutting through traffic all the time. Obviously I wasn't the only one so they started this new intermediate class between the Novice 'Y' class, and the expert 'T' class.
I was one of only a few in the group not on Semi Slicks but had no trouble at all pace wise, so was quite pleased with that as well.

今回、新しい1:07以下タイムの’E’クラスで走りました。


Oh and it used 2 litres less fuel than normal to get there, and noticeably less on the Track, so the Coil upgrade is paying for itself as well.

I was lucky enough to get a Garage this time. A big help as I was feeling a bit unwell after having a bad cold the week previous, and it was a hot day.

First session of the day. Just checking things out and enjoying a run on a Track again.

かなり久しぶりの筑波2000。とりあえず様子すを見る。楽しかったです
