Chased a Caterham and ran out of talent...

[jon_r]

Was a great day yesterday!

Trackday Insurance??????

 

[Loopy]

Even my butt cheaks clenched watching that, thats driving on the edge

 

[MarkCup]

PMSL at the comments...you would have liked it even more yesterday Malice!

Trackday insurance? Never bothered...If I do more damage to my Cup than I can afford to put right...I'll give up trackdays.

I'm working on the video of my best lap at the moment...when that incident happened I was running around 1:41, in the afternoon I was consistently banging out 38's, and in two sessions at the end of the day, I managed comfortable 1:37's (but there's still 2 more seconds out there for me...and I know where they are dammit LOL)

Chasing down an Exige 240 and Elise 111S helped get my pace up though.

Oms - 26 all round.

 

[haitch]

Hairy! ^you always run low pressure all round on trackdays or just what suited that day Mark?

 

[DH_GTI]

[TheCake]

Nice one Mark. Loved the vid. As it should be done... reminds me of a certain laguna in the middle of the road on a slippy 90-degree left

 

[Rufstuf]

Cool vid. I hate that feeling- the split second when you realise that youve lost it and you aint gonna recover, your ass collapses, and you have to sit there until the spinning stops

 

[MarkCup]

Nice one Mark. Loved the vid. As it should be done... reminds me of a certain laguna in the middle of the road on a slippy 90-degree left

[Ali]

Oops! indeed! lol...To be fair you were neva making that, Twitched the car and lost all balance. Lucky boy!

Ali

 

[MarkCup]

Yep...watching it back I was in 4th from lifting to let him go by and I'm normally in 5th before st. Marys.

So I went for a gear that I was already in, hesitated, missed my turn-in, then turned in too hard and lifted a little at the same time.

Watch it out there people, I thought I had it licked, then after a moments in-attention I almost stacked it.

 

[Ali]

^ lol...Everyone makes mistakes and learns from them. Some with dented prides and others with blushed faces...I've been both on numerous occasions! lol

 

[Zorba_the_greek]

[Josh27]

[Mike@Rentech]
