Breakfast & Bends

On track participants awoke early for a thirty-minute session on the racetrack. This track time was allotted before breakfast. Afterwards all drivers attended breakfast served in the Apex Bar. The morning racetrack session was more enjoyable than the afternoon session with more cars on track for the afternoon. Each session was preceded with a compulsory driver briefing. This included track layout, safety and regulations briefing. On this particular day track conditions were ideal. No drivers were allowed to overtake the pace car. There were a few front brake lockups by other drivers. These lockups causing momentary tyre smoke. Mustang GT track grip was excellent. Trackside marshals were in attendance at strategic track locations.

Early Start

Waking up early to start the day with a thirty-minute session on the racetrack is a testament to dedication and passion for the sport. The crisp morning air sets the scene for a focused and invigorating experience. The track slowly comes to life, with the hum of engines and the screech of tyres cutting through the quietness of the morning hour.

Each lap around the racetrack is a symphony of precision and skill, with every turn and straightaway presenting a new challenge to conquer. The adrenaline rush of pushing the limits, feeling the slight G-forces in every corner, and striving for the perfect racing line creates a sense of exhilaration that is unmatched. The concentration required to navigate the twists and turns at high speeds demands complete focus and control, honing both physical and mental agility.

In those thirty minutes on the racetrack, there is a unique sense of freedom and liberation that comes from pushing oneself to the edge of performance. It is a time to escape from the demands of everyday life and immerse oneself in the pure joy of speed and competition. The camaraderie among fellow drivers, the shared passion for the sport, and the mutual respect for each other's skills all add to the sense of community and belonging that the racetrack provides.

As the session draws to a close, the sun rises higher in the sky, casting a golden glow over the track and signalling the end of another exhilarating morning or afternoon on the racetrack. The memories of those two thirty-minute sessions pushing the car and oneself will linger, fuelling the anticipation for the next opportunity to hit the track and chase that adrenaline rush once again.

Mustang GT & Highest Speed

Mustang exceptional track handling was commented on by fellow drivers. Highest speed obtained was greater than 170 km/h (105 mph plus) with more in reserve. At least 180 km/h felt attainable following behind the pace car on pit straight. No track incidents occurred. No off track over enthusiastic driving errors for any of the participates. A great day of fun and a new experience.
