Finally got a decent time, never thought the tyres had it in them.
Interesting to hear Tucks opinion on where/why the willys were so fast as i think he got a ride in most of the motors. Were they pushing harder or simply faster cars? Certainly dont think i could of pushed much further if at all.
Zollo is the Stig lol

My tyres were letting me down a little, and I could have pushed a little harder in a few areas, but getting a tidy lap in at pace was tricky. My last 4 runs were all mid 1.06's, but not one single lap was without a "moment".
At best I think had a mid to late 1.05 in me, so the Willys were proper quick.

Happy with my progress, 4 seconds off my first effort by the end of the day which is a fair bit on that circuit, gradually improved throughout the day. My prediction about being second slowest was spot on too! Funnily enough after the wedding break I was out on the circuit for about 8 laps without being timed, I actually relaxed, concentrated on the lines and was probably quicker still, always the way though isn't it!
The corner near the car park was my worst area, bottled it every time and braked real early, I was never comfortable with it! Loved the s-bend coming back down from the top though.
More importantly I had an absolutely fantastic time, photographing AND driving, my kind of day! I was sat watching tennis yesterday longing to get back out on the circuit, just sooooo much fun. Really learned alot about my car too which is always helpful.
Anyone up for another at some point?!

I seriously have the bug now, I mean proper obsessive - been thinking about it non-stop since 5pm Saturday! Loved every single minute of it. Pretty annoying as I always pick expensive hobbies, photography, driving etc!
The missus mentioned someone saying there was another date available in September...?

Thanks for sorting the times like that Mark,Its pretty close throughout the board! Brilliant driving by everyone I thought. As for all the laps I had passenger'ing,Bens Starlet had the most acceleration/Pull out of the corners-but was let down by a lack of brakes I think Compared to say Paul's 182(Who I think got the Maximum out of the car on one of the laps I rode round in) Zollo's Willy felt like it had sooo much grip when you were cornering and when it started to slide,he seemed to have loads of time to correct it (had some messing about laps at the end where he was trying this!) Freebone surprised me too-I didnt know he had that in him!
Yeah,lets look in to having another go.......

Yep, I'm up for another
Next time I'll have the tracking sorted (was quite 'washy' compared to how it should be) and some tyres that are slightly better than completely ruined before I even start! 1.04s next time :evil:
Cheers to Tucks for organising it all, and sorry to Freebone for scaring him with that little off-track excursion at the end of the day

Excellent day, thanks again to those that helped put it together. After my initial 1.14 and close encounter with the barrier I felt I wasn't going to get much more out of the day. But after luch I started hacking back the times and think I could have got a late 1.08!
Like the rest of you I can't wait for another go round teh track, and Freebone, I keep checking my exhaust to make sure its in one piece!

Definitely does...us MKII boys don't get to use that extra power we have, and the extra weight carried is hard work.
Was really noticeable watching Zollo round the slow twisty bit (near where we were all stood) - he was visibly quicker, maintained much more momentum.
Twingo 133
Was a good day, i enjoyed myself, cheers Tucks.

Happy with my time, but my shocks are very much past there best. Bouncing up and down and making funny noises :S

lol, it wouldn't be quite the same as running SDV on the circuit, they use it to keep all their museum pieces ticking over. Whilst that will occasionally mean a blip in an XJ220, Viper or Turbo Esprit it was also mean days on end of running 95 year old cars around at 5 mph...not that would be a bad way to spend your life compared to sitting in a bloody office all day!
Know what you mean though, I would seriously be back out there next Saturday if I could.
don't think I got a picture of dan not robin relianting?
