It was a very, very hot day. It reached about 103-106F in the afternoon. Many decided not to show up to this track day. Which means.... OPEN TRACK!!! It was a really fun day hosted by Corsa Club. It was also my first time running on NT01 tires, which I wasn't particularly impressed by. They felt a bit greasy after a couple laps and had to get the understeer and oversteer under control. The west-east connector was also a bit problematic for me because I started to feel a bit nauseous from the G forces pulled going over that blind corner and into T10 on the east side. Otherwise, it was a fantastic day at Thunderhill!
