Discovering the "Altis"

After gotten the car for exactly 4 months, I've finally have the time and place for me to test out the car at the limits and getting to know its threshold.

Where else if not at this event that I've attended back in early March 2013.

Prior to this, off and on I do try to discover what is the limit I have but since it is on public road, those test are limited to the occasional corners like thoue found in Kerinchi and Penchala link.
Taking into account that it is a public road, those test are not really at the limit. More like 40% at most.

Curious to know more, the GAB Racing Speedfest.my Track Day & Time attack event allow me the place to find out more.

I am glad to say, I found out more about where my limits are and what are my reserved before things start to get hairy.
I get to know how much the ESP allows me to have fun before kicking in, how much and how hard I need to kick the pedal in order for the ABS to kicks in and more.

I can say that I am glad I decided to join after much consideration and I am certainly pleased with what I've discovered and also what improvement that needs to be done to tweak the car to my driving style.
