Was a bit wet and greasy and miserable there today, but still had a good time. The rain also made for some good spectacting tho.

I must get some of that rubber that olli was running, because my god did that car grip!
Mine however didn't and I had a bit of a tank slapping moment followed by in the next corner no front grip coming out of the corner and ended slidding out onto the sodden grass; just praying for it not to spin and end up in the barrier. thankfully it didn't.

Yur not a man till youve been on teh grass

[smcgsi16v]

Well somebodies got to and this year I feel its my turn, just taking the pressure of you Lee.

Narp, i went mowing as well But for some reason my camera refused to work.

Dars upped his game though. Two spins in one session. Legend

[smcgsi16v]

And some pretty good ones at that, which I can't wait to see.

Sorting my vids now. Bit gutted that it appears the session with Ad in passenger, the wisdscreen was so fogged up you can hardly see. Might look better once rendered though.

DOH
So the batt lasted then but the screen was too fogged up to see?
That was a cool session too, by-jebus tb'd Xe's fly Wheel spinning in 4th gear at about 7000rpm , and then a "little" brake lockup :D
Ended up right at the front of the field with a clear track in the end, even out pacing a RX7 down a straight


I had a great time, cheers for organising the tickets etc. Was a fooking freezing cold/wet day, but still well worth it.
Mine went pretty well on track, having ****e front tyres on didn't help though, also had a oversteer moment on one bend where i think some Mini blew up and dropped oil onto the circuit, as yellow flags came straight out after that. Also, my suspension was set fully soft for road use which i forget adjust,Lol.

Just watching my vid, PMSL i go so slow through the bends I could of easily pushed the car much harder, maybe next time eh.
Definently want to do more track action, hopefully full days.

Will sort my vid and pics in a bit, its pretty boring tbh,Lol, but has a good view of CorsaKid/Lee/Olly/Dar when they zoom'd past me
Oh and btw, the 10.45am session turned out to be about 9-10mins long, so it seems they cut 5mins.....


Baxter-Olly had to travel further than me, as im in pretty much a straight line south to Combe, hes on the other side of the midlands....

Hope Dougie managed to get his nova home too, he also had not starting xe problems.

i'm annoyed that my stooooooooopid sunstrip was a little lower than expected, and in my opinion ruined the videos

hey ho - i'll upload them anyway, but i'm ripping it off and not replacing it, thats fo'sure!

Adam - also noticed that our 1st 10:45am PNG session was 9m 39s from start to finish sucks ass tbh
