What time does the astra do Craig? Was trying out some Nankangs NS-2r's. Pretty happy with them and the didn't wear much considering my heavy right foot.
Astra does a 1:17 on Dunlop 03g Semi's, but I think I could get a bit off that. Not tried the Nankang's.
What did you think of the new surface?
I'm not a huge fan. The top of avon rise seems less violent so the car doesn't go as light. Didn't thinknthere was as much grip out there too.
1:17 is impressive.
I did Mallory at a couple of the PPC in the park events so only short sessions but thought it was pretty good. Bit short of run off in areas which can be a bit unnerving and Gerrards is hard on the car, you need good sump baffles!Quote:

^ Did you make it? Such a good day there today so I hope you did. The Classic Thunder races stole the show, and the front runners in the CCSC's made for an epic watch, as always.
I went to yorkshire dales autograss today.didnt compete though.was nice to spectate tbh as i miss alot.
Good to see you today Craig, you should get the Astra out there. 1.17 is mega impressive.
Scarborough autograss tomorrow for myself and TheGeneralChancer.
another trophy would be nice!!
I'm up at Blyton Park this weekend. Hoping for a dry day today and a half decent track. We did the karting here yesterday which was awesome.
Went to croft this weekend for Summer MaDDness, had 4 sessions in the nova, Main earth lead snapped on one and internal throttle return spring snapped on the webers on another, but had a great time in all of the sessions, here's a video of my 3rd session, track pretty much dried out, but still a few damp patches.

Is that a penguin 'g' meter on the lower dash shelf?
Missed this previously Ben - good to see you out there.Quote:

Who's where next then? Fancy playing with another Nova.
I'm looking to do Castle Combe Friday 5th June, but will be in the Astra. My friend is there today in his rather epic Clio mk2 but I couldn't have made it.
Fancy a different track to be honest. Maybe Cadwell or Croft.
I fancy a Caldwell day there's one in June I was tempted by
I did Blyton Last weekend which was OK. Its put me off long drives for now though so will just aim to trim my times down at Coombe for a bit.
Which one in June were you looking at?Quote:

Castle Combe booked for 5th June in the Astra. That could well be its last outing so will be pushing for a 1:15 on Semi's.

Oulton Park on tuesday. Good sessioned day. Quite a few lads from work so was good to have a play with them.
Nice moment chasing the audi s5 through druids on the last lap.
Let the video do the talking...

That goes incredibly well.
I'm not quite sure why the quality is so bad below, its great when watched elsewhere, but here's a lap of Blyton Circuit from the week before last.
It wasn't the best circuit, but still good fun.

Cadwell booked for the 4th. Sharing the day with Lee to save on costs. Gonna be a long day!

Almost looks sped up due to the speed. Did you have the track to your self too? No one else seems to be out. (i stopped at 1:21)
