First day was great! I may drive it more tomorrow. I went out for 3 sessions.
At first, I missed most of the instructor group, but got in about 10 mins. Pretty rough, as I'm so used to the other car. 2nd session was better, but still not great. Starting to get the feel of it.
By the 3rd session, I was sliding around a bit, I had PSM engage twice, both coming out of turn 1, going up the hill - just went in a bit hot and probably wasnt smooth enough with the steering.
I was surprised how tossable the car was, even with PSM on.
I left PSM and Sport Mode on the whole time.
I still wasn't up to speed, but that really wasn't a goal. I don't want to drive anywhere near 10/10ths as they say.
I had enough after about 15 mins into the end of the 3rd session, and just as I was about to pit in (at 10a) the pedal pressure was severely limited. So - good decision to pack up for the day.
At this point, I'm not sure if it will recover for tomorrow. I'm not going to bother with bleeding - it's either drive like it is or just rest it for the day.
