The track day was organise by Autosprt, a group that are into motorsport. We had 60 people attend, there were 15 EVO's and other cars range from a Porsche GT3, Exige turbo, GTR, M3, M6, various V8's, XR6T, Integra type R turbo, Cliosport (supercharge) & various wrx's & forresters.
I was going to bring my STI down, but in the last min i decide to bring my Sportivo to give it abit of a test against those tough track car. btw my sportivo is stock as a rock with 0 mods.
The first session i was very disapointed with the car, it just keep understeel and very hard to control the throttle, it just keep on wheel spinning when existing out of the corner.
In the afternoon session, i try a different approach. This time i didnt turn the wheel as much and just let it slide out of the corner. This automatically reduce heaps of understeel and even use more of the track. With the throttle, i didnt step on the gas as much as the first session. Just trying to make it smooth going out of the corner. Being a fwd car, controlling the throttle is alot harder. where as my STI is a 4wd i can just step on the gas and get full traction.
Overall i had a excellent day, i actually enjoy bringing out the Sportivo rather than my STI. I definitly gain alot from this track day and want to do it again soon. For all those people who havent been to the track. Come and have a go, you will definitly love it. There is no point modding the car and saying how great it handle on the street, the track will determine how the car will handle.
