Title: Pre-Season Test/Shakedown
Post by: Simon Crook on November 03, 2008, 05:48:15
I know that the season has only just finished, are there any plans to do a Pre-season Test/Shakedown next year?

Another thing you can do is find yourself a track day; I did one at East Fortune (bumpy local airfield track) and found it very useful. It was run by a company called Javelin.

im contemplating doing Friday testing if its available on our race weekends. Mallory Wednesday morning sessions are pretty reasonable too

the Mallory option sounds a good one

Simon,mallory test is a good shakedown for the car but requires little input from the driver,you should look at some where like cadwell or oulton for a full day so you can set the handling up(Mr sparrow or Mr myatt would be good to have with you on this day)and then get used to the car.

thanks Paul, I was hoping for Mr Sparrow's input, as for me I will need as much track time as possible to get to learn how to drive the car!
