Donington Shakedown / Testing in BMW

A big step up from the front wheel drive Citroen Saxo with no driver aids, to a more powerful rear wheel drive BMW 120i Coupe with shiny things like power steering, traction control, anti-lock brakes, wet weather tyres and practice driver changes!

The day was all about building familiarity and confidence in the car in all weathers and we were pretty lucky to have the track conditions progress from fully wet to almost dry by the end of the day. The traction control, (now known as the fun police), was fully off by the last few runs. 💪

The car felt fantastic and was even better with the fun police switched off and running semi slicks!

Massive thanks to Hyper Motorsport - Kiefer, Grant and Rufus for an awesome day.

Can't wait now for a cheeky trial race run in just over a week but more on that to follow.... 👀
