As the title suggests, this was my first ever track day, in the first ever car that I built from the ground up (Boyhood dream achieved). Neither mechanic nor racing driver, but to say it was satisfying would be an enormous understatement ! The experience was absolutely MEGA !! The way this car feels and sounds is exactly what I wanted it to be! its pure, its visceral, its exhilarating and the adrenaline rush is immense.
The only issue I found were the brakes and oil temperature, the brakes seemed to fade very quickly, after just 3 brisk laps I could feel a lot of fade and they were stinking (I was in full learner mode too, so not actually pushing the brakes that hard). The other issue was the oil temp, I knew it might get a touch higher due to the steel oil pan, instead of the aluminium one with the fins on; but it quickly saw north of 120°c in around 4 laps, with a peak of around 125-127°c, engine coolant was quite happy at around 95°c, with a peak of 100°c towards the end of the session.
The car held together brilliantly, no leaks, nothing fell off, so all is good :)
NEXT STEPS:
Look at different brake pad options, and look at the possibility of an oil cooler mounted in the front bumper :)

No sponsors, no support, just me doing my thing and filming it so when I am old and knackered I can look at some cool stuff I did once :)
