Maria in the Turbo and I'm taking the Boxster! and if I get past I will NEVER ever let her hear the end of it!
Mike the 911 now has 295 section R888's at the back and some 235 at the front. Its gonna be amazing on those. The Pirellis are well know to be utter utter utter toss! and Greg Rose kindly obliterated the rears for me
so treated it to some proper tyres 
The REAL reason we are going though is that Stu (pollyx) is going in his Cossie Westfield and promised us another ride
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAST its silly!
and I am hoping he is going to let me drive his Cayenne Turbo on track!

What profile are the 888s - is the rolling radius equal?
Yep, when I drove Mike's car in France, there was a 964 on the same tyres and he crashed

I'd take it if i thought i could get away with it! I know that car like the back of my hand and can push it quite hard! I absolutely LOVE driving it....
Where as im gonna in the porsche, not sure which one, dont really know either to drive, neither of them are mine, and its gonna be my first time out on a track for YEARS!! Doesnt really bode well for being that fast!!

Awesome day out. Weather stayed good with a little rain at 4pm which just meant some drifting late in the day without the worry of being thrown off!!!
They are mega strict on noise now. Loadsa people kicked off very early in the day. No second chances, just instantly remove your noise test pass sticker and thats it.
There could have been a little more common sense applied though to people that had been "tearing the arse" out of their cars all morning with no issues and then being pulled for noise around lunch and kicked off. Very windy and I am sure some gusts caused issues.
All in all good fun and some nice cars there today.

I really don't know any other proper roadcars other than Porsches that can put up with shit like that for lap after lap after lap
Incredible car! just LOVE it! fastest car on track all morning. Nothing got close... (I REALLY wanted to race one of the Atoms but they never seemed to be trying) and then it just drives home with 3 people in it. Bose stereo playing the tunes, air con on and giving 30mpg!!!!! WOW!
Had a brilliant day though. Great track, and lovely weather.
a few GT3 and GT3 RS's got there asses well and truely spanked by my fat old Turbo!
Stu, your Audi is just INCREDIBLE. Amazing engine and brakes. A remap and some sticky tyres and it will TOAST 99% of cossies on here around track I reckon!
Dunno what I am going to do about noise as I wanna change the Turbos internals and push 600bhp with more boost and thats NOT going to be quieter is it
Maria did SOOOOOOOOO well on track. Great lines, superb car control and was very quick. AND was super super aware of the other people on track which is something that alot of newbies always forget I think. I was very proud of her! Just needs to learn to that when I say brake.. I mean BRAKE!
Bedford is a HUGE circuit and very very hard to learn. I HATED it as first... very intimadating! She was EASILY the best and fastest person I have ever sat in with to begin with. Just sorry I got kicked off before she got some more goes and she would have enjoyed it MUCH more and been VERY quick I think!can't wait for the next one

When we got out the car lee said to me ''i dont think ive EVER had to shout at someone like that before... sorry''

I have to say Lee, you should so go in to instructing!! Very impressed, and youre a GREAT driver! You dont give yourself credit when credit is due...
