 |
|
Been very busy lately getting one of our customers live. Today was a nice oppertunity to unwind a little letting my hachi out on a wet track. Yet again Lelystad which dispite of its tiny size, proves yet again to be a fun place to practice. Alot of people where going somewhat sideways eventhough the track owners aren't to fond of it but I did see some surprisingly nice drifting out there.
For me, not much drifting, this was the first time for me trying out the hachi on a wet track so I was much to busy learning how it behaved and again the hachi surprised me very positively, understeer was less a problem then I expected, the only real problem for me was that I couldn't brake to hard without loosing traction. Only the last section of the track proved troublesome though in that way.
Still I did manage to get her sideways from time to time and surely the day ended to quickly to really get the hang of it:)
I'll link to some pictures of my hachi on the track. The pictures we're made by Stephane and all the pictures can be seen here:

no I did not knock over that cone, it was already lying there:)
