Exciting Days at the COASTT Track
Recently, a group of car enthusiasts had an unforgettable experience at the COASTT Track in Coimbatore. Let’s delve into the details of what made it such an amazing event.
Overview of the Event
On a weekend filled with fun, speed, and friendship, a total of 12 cars hit the track. The lineup consisted of four G87 M2s, one F87 M2, and several M340is. This event marked the first time for many participants at this almost-new, anti-clockwise track, which is known for its fast layout and wide driving space.
Track Experience
The COASTT Track, while still undergoing some construction to improve run-off areas and kerbs, offers an exhilarating driving experience. Many drivers found themselves enjoying the speed and wide turns, making it a joy to navigate.
Lap Times Recorded:
- M2s: 1:50 to 1:55
- M340is: 2:01 to 2:06
Without standard timing equipment, participants used various apps like Racebox and Dragy to monitor their lap times. This gave everyone a chance to track their performance more accurately.
Fun Activities
In addition to racing, there was a special drift session held on a watered section of the track. Participants enjoyed the thrill of sliding their cars while mastering the art of drifting. It was a unique chance for drivers to push their vehicles to the limit and showcase their skills.
Tire Management
With so much excitement on the track, many drivers faced tire wear and needed replacements. Fortunately, BHPian Nikhil2008 (also known as Madhu from Bangalore) set up a tire changing and balancing service right at the venue. This was a lifesaver for many, allowing the fun to continue without significant interruptions.
Partnerships and Community
The event was made possible thanks to partnerships among the participants, as everyone worked together to ensure a smooth experience. BHPian Reesnat and Speedrider75 played crucial roles in organizing the event, helping create an atmosphere of camaraderie among driving enthusiasts.
