2021/06/10 Fast Toys track day at Laguna Seca and my first time in the F488C

π 2021-06-10 01:01 in Ncars

After selling my F458C because I didn't want to own a car I was not driving that much, my plan was to rent Fast Toys' F488C which definitely has more power than my F458C did.
It's a bit more of a handful to drive given the turbos and my first session was a disaster, I believe mostly because the tires on the car had an issue I'm not sure about and I literally spun 3 times during my first session, I couldn't believe it. I had traction control on 3 (most aggressive) and still spun twice while trying hard not to.

I got the tires changed, and after that everything was fine, although I wasn't really in the zone and probably a bit scared by losing the car 3 times in the morning, and not knowing how much I could push it anymore, so I only got down to a 1:36 when the car is apparently good for around 1:28 or so.
Here's my best 1:36.08 lap:

Another day at Laguna, lots of nice cars:

those 2 cars were really fast (down to 1:28)

Chris nicely gave me some video coaching

This is the 488C I'm now renting from Fast Toys to replace my 458C GT3:

Thanks to Track Toys for the event and the car.
