Pretty good from what I saw, tried timing a few laps that it was doing from the side and it was 1:27s and the GT2 RS was 1:20ish with all the traffic.
 
  A VW Golf.....
What a cracking day yesterday !

Once all the red flags were out of the way, I had some great lapping. Was following the Clio who split a coolant hose at Coppice, that made for an interesting moment ! He had sorted it over lunchtime though.

The Clio with the orange wheels was smoking badly off throttle, valve guides ?

My wife took a load of photos and I have video of every lap I drove, so I`ll get some uploaded asap. I think a lot of the Clios on track are on film at some point

are you the guy with the golf and the crazy diffuser?! which everytime it went round a corner it was waving its rear wheel at me? i spoke to you briefly in the pits.. you NEED to get a sticker in the your car so people can rear it when going round haha.. it was a bit tricky after coops' car did a wee on the track!

I have a video which shows the reason for the very first red flag haha

The car that wee'd on track had me on the grass at the first corner LOL

My car was being shared on the day by Gem (first time on track) and her Dad, also first time on track, so apologies if it wasn't going fast enough or holding you up LOL.

Some of those clios are proper quick, Roffle at the one with the stiocky out exhaust silencer/ add on quietener

Nige, what a rediculous username. I'm going to see if 'Nige' is free. Loving the Northloop invasion. :)

Hang on, you've already got Nigep on the ntlworld address.

that would be beanie. He has noise issues and Bedford have banned him until he gets an airbox. I'm told he was having to feather the throttle yesterday too, so he didn't get thrown off

My mate Geoff with the Sunbeam managed 107 drive by LOL For the rest of the day he had to drive down the right of all the straights to miss the testers LOL

PMSL, nice tactic. Went round Bedford with Tony Hunter on friday and we got a noise board, so he did a half throttle lap.......noise board

Hehe that was indeed me, got blackflagged twice before lunch so spent the rest of the day shifting at around 6500rpm and not using full throttle which was a bit of a downer but at least I got to stay.

Somehow I got a warning about mine being too loud but I'm sure it was the M3 racecar that they picked up...mine wasn't as loud as some of the noisy buggers there!

Good to meet you at last Dave...car looked mint as well :)

@ Nige. I don't suppose your missus got any of mine...White 172 Cup with a carbon bonnet?

Cheers

Don't suppose there's any more with that red valver in the background behind the white one? Wasn't expecting my car to be out on track but I let Dan borrow it after killing his box

Was still bloody quick as well :evil:

It was a fantastic day, so lucky with the weather. Didn't get as much chance to mingle as I'd have liked but we all had a great time
