Amazing thing is that Will turns up at most of the shows, drives there, spends all day doing 0-60 or quarter miles, then drives home.

He's been doing this for at least two years iirc, probably even more.

Top bloke, top car

If that car has got 550bhp, then I'm Phil's love child . Either that or it must weigh 2000kg, as on track Peggy (450bhp / 1429kg) crucified him. He can't put it down to tyres either, as he was on Yokohama A048s and I was on normal treaded road tyres .

No, he was out on track at the same time, he started behind the 200 and over took him.
No reverse involved

Jen named him . "Pegasus" the be-winged white flying horse

Forgot to mention, Peggy almost went up in flames . In the last session Tony spilled oil all over the track after spinning off when chasing me into the hairpin (silly boy forgot to empty his breather tank ) and they red flagged the session with me being just 2 corners away from the pit entrance, so I had to pull straight in with the car BLITZING with heat and it set fire to the bulkhead matting. I had to get someone to watch over it while I ran and got some bottled water (nothing but the best for Peggy ) to put it out with. By the time I got back it was smouldering a good' un . Thanks to all the people that pointed out that my car was on fire as I was running back with the water .

Mike, you murdered that car!

for 3 reasons in my opinion

1. You are an awesome driver
2. Peggy is a very fast and well speccd/set up tool
2. RS200's are shonky old dinosaurs! (still look and are v cool though)

Its nice to see one being used on track and 0-60's rather than polished or in a museum

Lee,
I think you have me mistaken for someone else . I am an average driver with a car that I know like the back of my hand. The car is so well set up that it flatters anyone with half an idea of how to drive .

You were 1.8 to 2 seconds a lap quicker than the RS-200 (laps 2, 3 and 4 on that first session)........

It was a nice day out for a gentle Sunday drive - did they enjoy the sights of the circuit?

i did it last year in a quite respectable 2.06, not bad for a car with only 130 brake and normal brakes

that said, everyone has always mentioned that you are an animal on the track (you mentioned it the other week when you said you mullered most of th cars on a track day ) so it was a surprise to see you out there and it would have been rude not to time you

i reckon, next year a few people should get hire cars and then take turns in how quickly they can get round

at least everyone would be in the same car and it would level the playing field, almost like top gear but call it "a nonentity in a resonably priced shed" or soemthing
