Car prep for driving events

[GTSnake]

Ok, so we're supposed to go to Milan in the morning then Chelsea in the afternoon since we only have ONE day for driving events.

How the heck are we supposed to choose which event to prepare for? Do I put on drag radials for Milan and get banned at Chelsea for not having the proper tire? Or do I put on pilots and spin at Milan but be able to drive at Chelsea???

This one day driving schedule really *****......

Dont expect a wildly open track event
You will have an instructor with you all time.
The track events will be hold in a highly controlled environment to minimize risk.
Just take your regular tires.

I'll enjoy the chelsea time, but I think I'll watch at the Milan event....I'd rather not break something.

Great Question! Remember, this is NOT the same 'driving school' as past VOIs.

Chelsea is NOT a race track. It does not have the same 'safety designs' as a full race facility.

IF, IF, IF, they operate the track event like the Petty SRT drive experience, we could see a "PACE CAR" format, also called "Lead-Follow", or "Pace 'n Chase" in training vernacular. STREET TIRES WILL BE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE for Chelsea.

PS2's will be fine for both, just adjust pressure accordingly and launch smartly.

Either way be sure to "prep" the car with fluids etc before coming to the track which ever one it is along with checking brake pad condition.

I ran the BFG DRs at Carolina Motorsport Park and had a blast. I drove there and back and you just have to get used to them before going FAST.

Well, it looks like I'm wearing drag radials and just adjust the pressures at both events. At least Milan has an air pump.

Thats all you have to do Tom, run about 14-17psi at the strip and about 35psi elsewhere.

35??? Isn't that too high? I was thinking around 29psi.
