Exe Track Day - Winton Motor Raceway

Another track day at Winton, this time trying four new things:- 

1. hardest damping setting at the rear
2. 265/35R18 Hankook Z221's at the rear
3. X3E Motorsports front rotors
4. a new set of Project Mu Level Max900i pads at the front

I couldn't have asked for better weather, the morning cover of rain clouds threatened to make the day a wet one but they moved on to allow for a completely sunny day.

New PB versus previous PB:

The Z221 tyres I have are hard compound and wore down very slowly. They didn't even become gooey and I would say they are harder than RE55S SR2 compound. The new front rotors performed superbly, providing a clean wipe of the pads. I just hope that they're not warped now.

Looking at my speed graph, I am now faster through turns 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10/11 (the S bend). Overall, I'm happy with the result of this track day and I know that if I can string all the corners together in one lap that 1:40s are possible.

A big thanks to Exe Crew for coming together to make this event flow and run so well, and thank you for the comradery.
