Gingerman Raceway Test’n'Tune 7/27/10
Got to run at Gingerman Raceway for the first time yesterday afternoon for their mid-week test’n'tune. The sessions were run on the newly revisied 2.21mi circuit. Test’n'tunes are run Tue/Wed/Thurs from 5:30pm-8:30pm with the track time split amongst three run groups. Overall a really great way to spend an afternoon, just a shame its so far away otherwise I’d probably go much more often!
The newly paved section and some of the new patches of surface are a bit slippery but I’m sure this will improve over time. I found that the course had a few challenging corners, especially turns 5-6 and the 7-8-9 sequence with some high speed transitions, but this is what makes this track so much fun.
The cost for the test’n'tune was $60, putting the season running cost up to $735. The front brake pads are probably near finished at this point so I will need to check on them and decide if I need to replace them soon.
Here is some on-board footage from session 3 of the day:
