Caterham Academy Track Day - Donington Park - 7 Feb 24

Track Day at Donington Park. Was a quiet day, not loads of cars but damp in the morning and dried out almost completely by early afternoon. Great to drive the car on a different track and feel like the setup is pretty good. Struggled with understeer in the morning but the car improved through the day. Will start to mess with the GEO, Tyre pressure and Rear ARBL settings as we go, for now though i'm still learning the car, which is very different to an e46 M3.

I still have low confidence in the brakes, the pedal is long and spongy, making heal and toe is pretty difficult, so will be trying different pads, a braided rear line and brake fluid to see if that improves things. Still managed fairly consistent times of 1.22 / 1.23 as the day went on, which is decent for this spec of car.

As for fun factor, it's still entertaining to drive, its very consistent and interesting to see where time is lost and gained, we could do with more power but thats just a slippery slope isnt it!!!, and I'm enjoying the simplicity of the whole set up. Looking forward to warmer months where I think the car will be really fun to drive.
