So conditions a little better yesterday, 26c and sunny. What a difference !
Great to be able to explore the atom and see what it can do, felt really quick and was starting to get some real confidence in the car. The things that I took away most where how settled the car felt in the bends and how much more I could push it, the brakes and just how hard and late you can slam them on, was really impressed, and finally that at about 115 the car does start to run out of steam a little. Not that needed much more at Snetterton but on the back straight you could just feel it.
Only a Noble and an M3, track prepped I assume, got past me which I thought was pretty good for only the 2nd track day in the car. Probably more the car than my skill!!
So was really impressed with the Atom, finished the evening and then drove home in the cool evening weather through some nice villages. Still think a trailer is probably a good idea though !!
