Sorry to have to say it, but no one could have had a better day than me today! Took the WRX off road and on to the skidpan. The new quick rack worked really well- a bit too well. The hard compound tyres offered less grip than I am used to, and with the quick rack this thing turns in so quickly you would not believe. In fact, it turned in so quickly I spun on the very first corner of the first course. Then the club;s quickest driver diid exactly the same thing- 3 times! But I was not the least concerned because the rest of the time I was doing the biggest power slides. It goes like this: Launch control- 6000RPM full boost launches. The car is sideways off the line, quick turn of the wheel, handbrake on, clutch in, then hand brake off, clutch out and floor it- sideways out of the corner and down the straight, come on to the next corner, brake, then handbrake on, clutch in, handbrake off, clutch out and slide down the next straight with the tail out- and so on and so on. You just place the car where you want it, it turns in so quickly now, it has heaps of grip and so much control- a real blast. The thing is ballistic and I just love driving it. Who wouldn't?
