Pink wheels still smoked the same
Scorching sunny weather and almost 30′C meant things were fairly hot in the cabin of the Nissan. Now sporting its repainted pink wheels (yes, you read correctly), it was a test of endurance for both me and the car in these hot conditions – there’s no blower in this car never mind air-con!
The section of Silverstone we used at Luffield and Brooklands consisted of two large corners and 90+mph entry speeds and the high track temperatures meant for a foray into the gravel for me on one of my practice runs. I wasn’t the only one and thankfully I avoided it in the competition.
I made it into the top 16, and was out against winner of the last round, Pete Barber. On our first run I was tight beside him through the first corner, 86mph on the speed gun sideways. However I got almost too close and had to back off for the transition into the second corner. Score was 5-5 for that run. With Pete chasing things were still close but it was a 6-4 to Pete.
DriftKits are going to love me
