Published on 21 Aug, 2024

First session of a rather snowy morning. Slowest I've ever gone on this track... Nothing special here, just thought it would be cool to show this historic track in this state.

I probably should have stayed home today. Driving up the 14 this morning was just about one of the most terrifying things I've done in purist of speed. That said I'm grateful to have had the chance to run this track in a snowy condition ; if only for a few laps.

The safety crew ended up bringing us all in and the track went cold for a few hours ; literally. Safety first as they say.

A few heat cycles in the RE71RS (and I daily them) so expected the time to be slow, but impressed they held grip as long as they did.
