Well disappointment and thrills last couple of days...
German inspection failed the car for worn tires (outer third of the Goodyears!) and a license plate that was not screwed flush with the bumper.
So another set of Goodyears are on the way from TireRack (thanks Luke!) and Chris M. shipping a European licence plate holder for the front sourced from Superior Chevy in Kansas City.
I've got 30 days to correct the issues...also means I've got tires to burn.
Happen to check the Ring schedule for confirming the 17th is next open day...low and behold - they updated the date to today! The new pavement install appeared to be ahead of schedule...
Filled up with $7 gallon V Power:
3 hours later - arrival at the Ring on a 45 degree, moist day:
After another fill up outside the track:
Video of my sloppy actions for 3 laps (30 Euro each):
The car seemed to attract a bit of attention - we were smiling and giggling the entire lap.
Most enjoyable was the yump under braking which triggered the ABS as the tires got light as well as the big drop off as you track out of the corner...again tires unload and the car slides the right a notch.
The exhaust note is quite exciting and the best corning car I've driven. I've got plenty of room for improvement for the nut behind the wheel...should be a good year.
