Default Track Day Results

Well I just got back from my day at The Streets of Willow Springs...What a fun day, everyone should experience this once in their lives. First off, the Crossfire did very well. What a great little car! There was a Gallardo, a Z06, and a 600 HP R32 there and I still had people looking at my car and saying how good it looks.

I found that the best way to drive the Crossfire is by using its strong suit: Light weight and good brakes. It doesn't like to go into corners hot while braking, which can be said about most cars. If you brake in a straight line and really hard, I was out braking many of the cars and that gave me an advantage.

Also, I was racing the whole day with the T/C off, and it was very predictable if you put it into a slide. However, it does naturally understeer, so you really have to make sure you set up the corner well and hold a good line.

Overall, I tell you what, that little car did so well, I was really proud of myself. Its so light and so nimble I was having the time of my life. If only tires weren't so darn expensive.

Pics soon to come...
