The Integra is much easier to drive but spent the first couple of sessions getting the tyre pressures right.
It was recommended to run 40, I found lower pressures worked better for me. Even Alex felt the car getting quite squiggly during one of the passenger sessions. The second timed session could have been faster - got held up by a V8, so I know I can dip under 1:20 on the street tyres quite easily.
I left early as my brakes went all spongey. Ordered some Goodridge lines already and will a fluid swap this weekend if I can get away with it.
Comparing the MX5 to the Integra, I can just throw the Integra into the turn (apart from trail braking...not good), and felt a lot more confident doing that compared to the MX5 where you've got to be a lot more delicate...I've get really nervous with the lightness of it. Still getting used to RWD!
I'll try to crack 1:20 in the MX5 next track day! Got "proper" tyres now...and I realised that I run the shocks MUCH softer than Alex. Also picked up a few points on braking points / amount of braking, and apexing much later onto the main straight.
