Wednesday was a great day. I've done track days before but none at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, and none in a car so extreme as the Radical SR3 RS.
We were even using the old F1 garages, which I used to crane my neck to see in from the other side of the track on race and test days. Epic stuff.
It was the third or fourth lap and we were headed down Hanger Straight at a hundred and something mph. Rain was streaming off my visor and the instructor was waving his hand to tell me to move to the outside, the radio being useless at that speed.
I braked a lot later and harder than in previous laps, pointed the nose of the Radical SR3 RS towards the white line painted around the outside of Stowe corner and clung on. We carried a lot more speed as we rode the corner, avoiding the puddles on the inside line.
No issues, no problems. On to Vale. Fantastic.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of a day I'll never forget.

I am jealous. I want to get on track in a car so badly.
