Myself, House and our new Team Shonky recruit Harvey all booked onto a Javelin open pit at Mallory. We'd all never been, and it was a great little circuit which looks boring on paper but technical and quick when out there.

We booked some pit garages and used a load that weren't in use, so took over the place.

Then changing from 5th to 2nd for a hairpin resulted in a funny noise and no drive

I eventually got bored of sitting there and the marshalls not red flagging the session, I sat there for ages so eventually got out and took a nice photo from up the bank to amuse myself:

Engine survived, so great news there. I have some suspension upgrades planned and really need to learn to heel toe to reduce the strain on the CVs.
Couple of clear laps at the end, I know my lines aren't perfect especially hairpin

Love it and very jealous of your day out, thanks for the videos though as I feel like I've had a joyride with you lol
The Astra looks tidy ;)
The Astra is very tidy, but engine issues shortly after fitting his Shonky sticker meant he fitted right in lol
