The bigger update is that I had my 2nd trackday at Knockhill on the 16th August. It was a 2-hour evening session.
The trackday consisted mostly of high-end sports cars and supercars.
It was quite an experience sharing the track with a lot of serious machinery, including but not limited to: R35 GTRs, McLarens, 911 Turbos, 911 GT3s, various crazy Lotus models, Ultimas, Aston Martin Vantage V12 etc. In fact the only other Honda on track was a really clean FD2.
A little bit intimidating at first given how much quicker a lot of the cars were and how easily they would close gaps and fill my mirrors.
That said, after my first session I got into a decent rhythm and grew in confidence. Before I knew it I was grinning ear-to-ear and thoroughly enjoying the track evening!
Weather wise, we couldn’t have asked for more. In fact I’d go as far as saying it was perfect! A beautiful sun-soaked Knockhill circuit that didn’t see a drop of rain the whole day.
Temperature over 20degrees, bone dry and sunshine. Heavenly.
And of course this created ideal conditions for the AD08Rs. Sticky and **** loads of grip to say the least!
The car itself was outstanding. I’m delighted with the EK9’s performance on track and like I’ve mentioned before it’s ridiculously fun to drive.
No track shots unfortunately, but some photos nonetheless. Photos courtesy of Jay-Sec Media where applicable.
Best day I’ve had with the EK9 thus far. Love it.
