Tis exactly what it will be, mine did the same when I forst got the car. The old fluid looked like guiness.

Wondered what was in the red S1, did seem to pull well on the straights.

I agree, get the fluid changed. At least DOT4 spec required.

If you still find the pedal too spongy then change the hoses to braided. Was good to see you on track again :thumbsup

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

never managed to see you on track mass, would have liked to see how the SLR performed esp when it got greasy!

I missed to see you on track too ?????

The SLR was going well. I can hold a much bigger sliding angle and duration coming out of corners than the CR :mrgreen: How was JJ's car on track? I saw JJ's OLD car many times on the track. Was glad to see it stayed in Scotland :thumbsup

I enjoyed myself immensly and felt like I was slowly getting to grips with the car. Felt like I was getting slightly faster towards the end and starting to keep up with some of the traffic - probably the best time to stop!


Was that the last SIDC track day of the year?


What other track days are as well behaved and organised?

I saw some big flames coming out of your exhaust 8)

No more planned SIDC TDs for this year but you never know we usually get one or two in Oct/Nov.

I was in the Orange SLR.
