It's not too bad but turns into a nice rink after a few spots of rain, then the grip comes back a bit bizarrely. I can never work out why that is.

It's a perfect fully tarmacced race track surface, not broken up old concrete runway.

Sounds like fun, not too sure how suitable my 944 Cab will be.

Has anyone else used one on a track day that could pass judgement?

Thanks.
