Well guys, this was an absolutely crazy ride this weekend! From almost not being able to make the weekend at all, to having a weekend of firsts (my first off track, and my first black flag lol), it was a test of perseverance, moderation, ingenuity, and even a bit of lunacy lol.
The biggest issue this weekend was a leaking brake caliper that turned into a big mess the day before this track day was to take place. I went to replace some slightly leaking brake caliper seals, and ended up with a brake seal that was just slightly too big, so the caliper wouldn't move that freely. Oliver was a huge help and was able to make a (very) early Demon Tweeks run so we could try and see if AP Racing brake seals would work, but ran into the same issue. Then, after some modifications, we ended up with a caliper that gushed brake fluid out every time you pressed the pedal!
I explain the outcome of the brakes in the video, but with the main goal today to break the sub 2 barrier, would I be able to achieve it when my brakes can only handle 2 - 3 laps at a time, and also with me being completely new to the track?
