Ditto what Bill said - your car was fast as usual . I just saw you coming and pulled out of the way - then tried racing you down the straight and next corner.
Failed abismally

Shame not everyone on track understood the PULL OVER FOR FASTER CARS bit mentioned in the briefing

I had one near off due to misinterpreting a slower (Track day only Cossie!!) as he pulled tight to the left (thought he was giving me room to pass, then he turned in), landed up overtaking him by driving straight over the chicane (and not down the escape road, I literally mean straight over the grass and kerbs)

Also overtook one red Mk5 RS2000 when he didn't see me overtaking him and pulled out to overtake a blue kit car thing (I was hammering past at the time). I got past him with all 4 wheels on the grass running into Camp corner (poss 80+mph?) - the in car video footage is quite amusing - managed to keep it in a straigt line and honk my horn at him!!

I found one Golf driver and had a great dice with him in the first session due to a missfire - I could only just keep up with him down the straights and he knew the lines round the corners - all credit to those who can drive well on track

Cars of the day for me -

V8 engined MGB,
Badger5's Seat
Sean's Exige (the only cars that overtook me )

Shame there weren't enough sessions to race some of the other pukka cars - Porkie's 3 door, Norris Evo, and the WRC car for example, roll on the next track day!

Cheers Si
