Soz! [emoji85]

@Knuckles came and said hello to me!

Yeah, I didn't realise it was you at the gate until Owen said so I made a point to come at least say hello. I have no idea where Daniel ended up that day

Sorry about that 😧 the chain was obviously a bit long

Lol I escaped the welcome tent when Kirsty wasn't looking

 

[DaveDreads]

I did, I asked so many people where you and Colshe were. I was chatting to Dreads and he didn't have a clue, nor do I think he realised who I was, not that it isn't f**king obvious.

Eh? In my mind I still haven't met you, when where what?

 

[Scrooge]

LOL @Feirny are you sure you were there

 

[Feirny]

Eh? In my mind I still haven't met you, when where what?

I was wearing a cap backwards with shades on, you were parked next to where you come off track and you mentioned you needed adjustable top mounts and someone's gearbox had gone bang.

At least I didn't try and shake your hand with the wrong hand, eh?

 

[DaveDreads]

I have a vague memory of that, but i'll be f*cked if I can remember what you looked like, were you scared to tell me your username incase I asked to see your Beadle hand?

Mooched about until about 9am, Got showered and ready, watched about an hour of the morning session, went and cooked some bacon/sausage sandwiches, then went on the go karts, then walked around the cars on display, then had lunch, then went on track lots in the afternoon, then drank some beers, then ate a pizza, then stood outside the tent to chat to some people other than the people I went with whilst drinking more beers, then went back to the tent to cook burgers, then the whole world turned up at our tent and we all drank 3 black bags full of beer until 3.15am...

So I wasn't hiding anywhere! Lol

 

[Feirny]

I just assumed you knew who I was and was scared to throw abuse my way.

 

[Mr R.]

Hi.

Fcuk me it was cold, i was done at midnight.

 

[DaveDreads]

I just assumed you knew who I was and was scared to throw abuse my way.

There are people that have met me multiple times and got pissed with me multiple times and I still don't remember them, despite them knowing me really well, there's no way i'd have known who you were, even if you told me and I remembered, the next time you saw me i'd have no clue who you were, it takes a long time for new info to sink into my brain, at best I remember peoples faces but can't remember their names or where I know them from.

Was you with RMDavis?

 

[Bluebeard]

Hi.

Fcuk me it was cold, i was done at midnight.

Mate apart from a pair of shorts, I was wearing everything I took and I was still f**king frozen.
3 t-shirts, a jumper, a tracksuit top and a hoodie! Lol
It just seemed to go Baltic at about 10.30pm.

 

[Feirny]

Was you with RMDavis?

For a bit yeah, I'm in the pictures of his car earlier in this thread. You can just see my head above his car as I'm stood on some yellow pages.

 

[Gavin.]

It was f**king could when I got up for the fight at 3:45, two hoodies on and I was still shivering like mad.

Lol! I remember you showing me how many tops you'd got on.


I was fuckin freezing....so I stole the hoody my Mrs was wearing and sent her to bed

 

[Scrooge]

Sleeping in the car was like being in a hotbox, woke up with severe cotton mouth

 

[Waitey]

Agreed, It's very good for OE gear. Didn't like Blyton at first TBH, that first corner coming onto the track baffled me for a good few hours, there's little grip and it goes on forever, got it after a few hours and really started to enjoy the track after dinner. For a totally flat track it quite technical, Port Froid is brilliant.

LOL ask @MartinL1993 about my Port Froid technique....

Sling it in 5m before the apex and hope you slide past the bale! On the third to last lap the car only just missed that bale!

lol I'm not your wife, I don't need that detailed of a run down.

As if you stayed up until that late! It was bloody freezing! I think that's about the time I woke up and went back to my tent.

 

[Clio_fool]

I was OK when I went to bed at 3am, it was cold when I woke up at half 4 though and I couldn't be bothered to get up for the fight. Can't really complain as the day had such great weather.

Only 6 of us made it 😂

I got black flagged after 3-4 laps, whilst doing some stonking laps, so had to come in without a cool down.
Black flag was to tell me tyres were rubbing. Which i knew and they said i could go straight back out as long as i was aware and happy. But thanks to smell and smoke i decided to let them cool first. Fortunately no damage done and were fine after a few laps on next stint.

I was timing you in the afternoon along with others and you were going well, the silver turbo'd cup with cup reg was the quickest I timed at 1:14, then @Waitey 1:16 in the Caterham.

I slept fully clothed, i even had o put my hoodie over my face to keep warm. It turns out i had my son's sleeping bag. I did wonder why my arms where getting stuck.

 

[Bluebeard]

Im not happy with you, you have chipped my bonnet......Oh how i lol'd. I found it funny because of the welsh accent.

I find anything funny in the welsh accent, I love it. A man could tell me his cats just died and I'd laugh! Lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Where were you sleeping prior to your own tent??

 

[Mr R.]

I can picture Filters saying it to Sam after saying how cross he is about the stone chips.


And another thing Sam, not only have you chipped my bonnet you cnut, my mum just called to say the cat has died.....flol.

Yeah and it was on my side i did watch it go by!!
Thanks again for the passenger laps mate, properly impressed by the car and the driving that last stint out was something else. Properly throwing it about and it just sucked it up and carried on getting faster and faster. I was telling @Knuckles i got back in mine after and completely missed braking for the first corner after those laps 😂

 

[Knuckles]

Where were you sleeping prior to your own tent??

I made a bed out of the garden chairs in front of the marquee and fell asleep in front of the fire pit.

There was someone there who I was talking to, I must've fallen asleep and he left lol. Apologies whoever that was. I can't remember your name.

Cheers, my best was also 1:16 towards the end of the day. Just going through the hours of footage my multiple cameras picked up!

Yeah could see you building and building throughout each session, what mods is the car running?

 

[Jonesaaaay93]

CSF18 - I will get you up there.

Best of luck mate! The Mrs hasn't been able to for the past 7 years...

I must be getting better.

In summer my best time with working VVC and none leaking shocks was 1:16, so to manage that with no VVC and a knackered shock is pretty good!

 

[loggyboy]

Airfilter, exhaust, Gaz Coilovers and a combo of Avon ZZR and 888 rubber. Avons are a world apart from other tyres ive used. Just a little too soft on a warm day like it was.

Yeah could tell you where on coilovers by just how flat and fast you where taking that 90 degree right hander where people were spectating, I was on similar mods bar the coilovers and using Avon ZZS on the front and 888s on the rear, like yourself the Avon's were far to soft and kept over heating, in the end I was doing 2 hot laps followed by 1 cool down lap. Think they're a tyre for a cooler day or/and a less demanding track with more straights to cool, when in the temp window though they were epic.

 

[JP83]

What are you boys using for timing? As a rough guess from my camera footage, I was getting around 1:20-1:22 on my fastest laps. But that is a very rough guess.

 

[loggyboy]

Think they're a tyre for a cooler day or/and a less demanding track with more straights to cool, when in the temp window though they were epic.

With out a doubt, I used them on cold/damp days at Silverstone and Brands last winter and was hooking up grip 20-30 yards before anyone else, and braking much deeper with plenty of confidence. Shame they are so expensive as the pair I have left now might do one more day on the rear and I doubt I will get another set as cheap - so will be back to part worn 888s or new NS2Rs now... Damn my cheapskateyness!

 

[loggyboy]

I use a Samsung S3 i've built in to my dash, running the Racechrono app but with the paid for OBD2 and laptime 'addons'. A must is the 10hz Qstarz GPS receiver for timing accuracy (1hz all phones have on GPS is pants),also has a bluetooth OBD2 (ELM327) logging the revs/speed/throttle position for doing the video overlays.

I was using race chrono on my note 4, I just secured it in the glovebox, gives good data tbf and its Free. If you pay for it you can video from your phone and it overlays the data, like Harry's lap timer.

 

[MicahGTi]

Can I just ask what cameras and lenses people were using? Some truly excellent and crisp shots on here.

Interesting that it shows you the optimal lap time based of your 4 best sectors and combines them for your best time acheviable. I don't think Harry's does that but may be wrong.

Yeah its very handy on a trackday due to the likelyhood of getting caught in traffic at various points over a day.

It has something similar, in Lap List select one of the times and scroll down to Results and there's one that says Virtual Best.

Looking at one of my Oulton ones the time was 2:07.40 with a virtual time of 2:06.74
