FEB 10
what i learned my first time at a rainy infineon:
1. need to be extra careful exiting turn 2 and apexing 10
2. in heavy rain, a lot of water flows and/or stands on the straight before 7, apex at 10 and by 1
3. on the first lap, first session in rain, some of us in group 3 (nasa intermed), incl
me, thought we were going slow enough until we spun. By session end, i
think 6 of us went off, one into the tire wall after 3a.
4. i was very glad i had full tread street tires (245 yoko neova, bridge re01r) but even so i hydroplaned a bit.
on the first lap, third session the rain was light so puddles were much
smaller than in the prior, heavily raining session. unfortunately it
was the first time i saw a car contact another car in hpde. a car
passing on the straight going to 7 spun and bumped the car being
passed, which then spun and hit the wall fairly hard w/ the front end.
luckily the driver seemed ok aside from harness burn.
