Driving School Day 2 At RRR

The second day of Peachtree Chapter of the BMW CCA driving school was all about building on what you learned on day one and applying it consistently. The first session of day two is typically for getting back up to speed and making sure you remember your line through the track. I started to put down consistent laps in the 1:30 range when not stuck behind lap traffic.

A little wet to start the 2nd session, but the track stayed in pretty good shape for some nice laps. Got through some traffic early in the session and had a few clean laps without having to get around slower cars towards the end of group C’s time on the track.

With most people cutting out early because of the predicted rain it started to feel like we had the track to ourselves in the C group. When I hit every section just right I could get close to my fastest lap in the 1:28 range and was consistently lapping in less than 1:30.

My instructor pretty much left this session up to me and only gave me a few pointers after the fact. Despite filling up mid day, I still ran low on fuel and cut the last session short. Good thing, as the rain came in just as we got back to the paddock.

You are supposed to take it easy on the last session of the day but I couldn’t help myself. Roebling Road Raceway made for a fun weekend of hard driving and I look forward to my next visit.
