Did Silverstone in mine last Sat. Awesome day - once I changed from the nutters group to the more genteel!!
The Zed was an unknown quantity to me in terms of tractibility and overall performance - so this was justa fact finding mission.
We had the Gold Track day which was 2 groups on every 30 mins.
Weather was chilly but dry and bright.
My car is standard except for 330mm brakes just fitted - and boy was that a good call or what. The original brakes would not have stopped me and would have melted. These new bad boys drag that car down from 115mph to 40mph in no time. Never once did they feel like fading.
The Zed passed far more cars then passed it. It made mincemeat of every Morgan and most Lotii. A few dedicated track day cars waltzed pass (if I let them) but that was OK.
My HiCas is disconnected which I'm glad of as I think it would have been too slow to respond to the bends.
Grip on standard road tyres was superb. I only used D2 and Drive - I tried HOLD and Power - but couldn't see what each one did tbh.
Seemed to drink a drop of fuel.............. but since I put the new oxy sensors on all hydrocarbon dust on the rear end has ceased. I think the blow out on Sat did it good.
Here's some pics for yer. Not a cheap day - but it's worth going for the more expensive day as it tends to rule out the chavs in Corsas, Cavaliers and 309 Pugs - just a safer bet that's all. Apologies to owners of said cars but I've been avoiding them far too much in the past.
