Watkins Glen International Raceway - Session 1 - Wet - [2012 370z]

Описание: Welcome to my Youtube channel!

I have started to upload all of my track day sessions to have a centralized location to review notes, instructor comments, etc.

This was my sixth HPDE event. The track setup was Watkins Glen International Raceway. This was a NASA NE event (HPDE 1). The car I am driving in this video is a 2012 Nissan 370z.

Modifications that I have done to the car at this point are:
1. Motul 5.1 brake fluid.
2. Stainless steel braided brake lines.
3. Carbotech Pads.
4. Hans device.
5. 5 Point Harness.
6. Harness Bar.
7. Racing Seats.
8. Splitter (attempting to force air into the engine bay for cooling, not for downforce)

Tires: BFG Sport Comp 2

Some notes from this track day:

This was my first disappointment with NASA, the whole day I was trying to find an instructor which ultimately took away from track time.
The third session was the first session that the track was dry and we were able to get the car to speed. The car didn't perform too well, clutch was very soft after this session, oil temps were high. Overall driving was sloppy, shifting wasn't great. I assume the frustration was coming through on my driving.

Fourth Session
Lost all pressure in my clutch when we got back to the trailer.
Put 2 tires on the 1st turn in the bus stop.
Use the entire track





Date: 10 - 20 -2021
Ambient Temp: 60 degrees

Needed to reduce 2 PSI tire pressure throughout the day. Did not need to reduce tire pressure after first session due to the rain.
