5th of August, Sunday was an awesome day!!!! We were very lucky to have a perfect sunny day too. (It had been raining heavily for weeks) My bubs organized a MC Motorsport day. (i.e.: Performance driving tuition) It was held at the AHG driving centre. I was the only female driver among the 8 guys that were there.
The 4 hour session starts with an half and hour theory on Performance Driving techniques: including vision; seating posture; braking and cornering techniques; smooth driving and weight transfer. We then get to put it all into practice on Motorkhana style courses. There were 2 fully experienced instructors to provide performance tips and answer any questions. Ben and Franz were fantastic, patient, approachable and extremely helpful.
This is the skidpan we used for the afternoon. We done 2 different courses. All of us got to have a few turns to improve our driving skills and lap times. I felt I started off like "Driving Miss Daisy" but as the day progressed, I felt like "Speedy Gonzales". Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Below is me from start to finish of the motorkhana style course 4. (i.e.: Slalom.... think that's how it's spelt)
Here is my bubs doing the same Slalom course.
The cars present were 2 Nissan 200SX (S15), 1 Nissan R33 Skyline, 1 RX7, 2 Honda Integra, 1 Honda S2000, 1 Toyota Supra and 1 Nissan 180.
During our 1st run, Wilson was the centre of attention. His famous quote "No pain, No gain"..... or something along that line and off he goes with his spin out. Here is the evidence......pieces of grass and mud on his car. Hehehehehehehehehe..... ;) Wilson! Wilson! Wilson! What shall we do with Wilson?!
Towards the end of the day, some of us got drained and tired from the constant concentration. This is what we spotted while giving driving a rest..... it's Franz's Evo 8 MR. Normally I'm not a fan of Evo(s) but this one is nice!!!!
To end the day with a big "BANG", we requested for Franz and Ben to drive our cars and push it to its full potential on the courses. It was CRAZY!!!! Ben drove my car...... I was like, "Woooo Hoooo!" sitting in the car. Franz drove my bub's car..... and he was like, "Hhhhmmm.... I almost shit myself!" with the added drifting as extra excitement.
Everyone went home totally satisfied with themselves. We'll definitely organize another MC Motorsport day! I was exceptionally pleased with myself as Ben and Franz seen and commented that I've shown a great improvement in my driving skills throughout the day. *SMILES* Girl power!!!!
