Did you have fun?
Did the car come back in once piece?
Do you want to do it again?

If yes to all it was a successful day. Driver mod takes time.

Good job for your first time out. A suggestion for next time would be to try to smooth out your the throttle application. Jabbing at the gas pedal really upsets the balance of the car which will make you more prone to spinning out especially in low-grip situations.

Good on you for being out there, track time is a hell of a drug :P

Also, dont freak out too much over going faster or anything like that, it takes time, seat time. Allow yourself to learn and grow together with your car, you have an excellent base to do so. Lastly, have fun, always have fun :)

Congrats! watch out, this activity is addictive.
Brake Fluid, brake pads and seat time, tons of seat time.

So, what did you learn?

Very much a fun car and the car is fine and I`m already booked in for next time:)
I had to think about this answer. In a nutshell I have much much more too learn:thumbsup:

A very good answer and an important lesson!

You’re starting down the rabbit hole!
First track day is a lot to unpack out there. Get coaching it will advance you so much faster.

Just to clear things up a bit. This was my 1st time on the track with the BRZ. It was not my first time ever. I have been out in 3 different AWD subarus before and had 10+ session with a coach.
This does not mean I do not need coaching, as I DO. It`s RWD and very strange to me as it oversteers easy, turns in easy and probably needs a new line etc etc. So yes many mountains to climb.

I was going to mention how it seemed easy for you to get the rear loose on exit at relatively low speed. Bit of line work/throttle control you'll get there.

AWD is good at masking those things. Keep at it!

I love your attitude.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions, so we can help you progress.

If you're interested in remote coaching and/or video/data coaching, don't hesitate to reach out. That's what I actually do for a living.

I can vouch for that. Mike has helped me immensely.

TrackDayClub is awesome. So is TrackSchool.

If you have been to track day club you will know my wife and I

I've only been to TrackDayClub twice. I prefered Track School. Not because I think Track School is better, I just preferred the..... mmmm... style? of Track School.
Wakefield Park organised track days were horrible. I only went to two and swore never again.

My next event will be Track school for a try. After Summer!. So in the mean time I will get some -camber happening, fit an oil cooler and get some 17x8-8.5 rims.
The only time we went head to head. My stock 18sti and her set up 13wrx. I was 0.03 secs quicker after I passed

Always love watching these videos, so mesmerising.

I've only ever been to Wakefield in wet weather - still very fun mind you, but definitely want a few dry runs sometime soon.

Is your car stock?

Heres the 2nd video.
Car has Psr Uel Headers and Overpipe, Q300 catback and a OFT 98 tune with a few revisions. 18x8+48 with 235 Potenza Re003 (firehawk indy 500s Usa)
