Brands Hatch - chase videos...

[MarkCup]

At the request of a few people Ive pulled together all usable clips I had of when I was following other Clios, Mole and his Evo or his pal in his 325.

If anyones got any footage of me from the outside please let me know.

 

[Pootle]

going by how many times you passed me, are all the silver 172s me?

will have to wait till im at work tomorrow and download them lol.

 

[Pete]

Just proves Silver ones are slow and Black ones are the quickest!!!!

 

[MarkCup]

Ive no idea Em...I couldnt remember reg. nos. let alone spend time trying to read them from the video.

Could we read from this that 182s are faster than 172s? I havent got any footage of any of the 182s in front of me...

How many times do I have to tell you...

 

[Pootle]

you just need to leave it on a recorded message for me LOL

but it is oh so true though!!! im way off the pace of you guys!! look at the speed you pass me in the second one...okay i might have lifted a bit to make sure you got past, but you still carry alot more speed into the corners than me!!

 

[RobFenn]

I watched the EVO one, must of been fun chasing it

Nice lines, but if you can take some hints..dont be afraid to use the kerb as you come down pilgrims rise. In a RWD you would of been facing the other way if you took the kerb out of druids, and especially if wet its a real no-no. It is an arse of a corner, you just need to be patient. Dont keep the lock on so tight at Clarke, let it run out and use all of that space, then drift back towards the marshall post. Although if youre in a RWD Clarke can catch you on the exit again.

[MarkCup]

All hints and tips greatly received Rob.

I dont profess to be any good LOL, but I seem to get around at a reasonable pace. Having done nothing since last Monday except watch these videos, I know where I was going wrong, Druids Im a bit too aggressive with the turn-in, which is then causing a little understeer, which then becomes a problem as I resist winding the lock off to correct it through fear of running wide.

Around Clearways Ive got to get away from the kerb...looking through the videos Im so tight round there it scrubs off all my momentum.

Roll on 6th May...

 

[y0z2a]

Use the Curb and more LOL! Thats whats its there for! Brans looks so weird in a car, only ever been round in a kart!

 

[MarkCup]

Pilgrims Rise? Wheres that then? I can see Pilgrims Drop (on the GP circuit) on my circuit map, but I cant see the Rise anywhere.

Where on the Indy circuit are you guys talking about?

OI OI OI Lee, IIRC, I let you pass! I could have closed the door like Schumacher and end up on the rough stuff but I ws so frustrated I thought Id let you have a go which just made you frustrated LOL.

 

[Lee]

Id got half my car length ahead of you and was on the racing line LOL If you had pulled across you would have swipped my arse end.

Schumacher was ahead of Heidfeld when he closed the door, on him!

 

[dk]

good vids, shames theres none of me but what was the noise, sort of double beep as you go over the finishing line, is it some sort of timing gear?

 

[Pootle]

lots of meeeeee....see you lot should be slower it has advantages!!

i think the beeps are marks road angel or b2 thingy when he goes over a certain speed.
