My First Track Event - 2013 GT
Hi All,
Took the Mustang out for my first track in it this weekend. It was my first track day in 7 or 8 years!
We were driving Horse Thief Mile at Willow Springs Raceway in California. My first time at this track.
Bone Stock, except for the Borla exhaust.
First time using a GoPro as well.
Initial Impressions ...
Brakes held up fairly well for such a tight course but improvements should be made there.
The stock tires were awful for tracking. I have always had high performance summer tires and knew this was going to be a weak spot these will be changed.
Suspension was better than I expected it to be, but certainly can be improved.
Overall I came away very satisfied with the car and what it was able to do on the course in comparison to other drivers of similar skill levels in cars better suited to this tight technical track (Miatas, S2000, BRZ, FRS, etc..)
Will be doing more of these in the future!
