Tuesday, 1445h, Ascari Race Resort and back behind the wheel
Second round at Ascari was in a Golf GTI with Sergei in the passenger seat. And after a rather daunting first run, things were far more enjoyable at the second attempt.
After telling me about the 'lovely Spanish women', Sergei was incredibly relaxed and chilled, just the occasional 'good' and 'full throttle' coming from the passenger seat.
The Golf felt superb. Through the quicker stuff it felt planted and neutral, then agile through the slower turns. Where on the road the GTI Performance pack diff is seldom felt, out on the track you can really sense it hauling you out of corners. Good car, liked it a lot.
