Was that Cossymad's cossie in front?
By the way, it wasn't Clarkson being slow - it's Sabine, she is proper fast!
Drives the Ring Taxi round there, and if you've ever been, you'll know just how fast she is in that.............

Proper up her own arse! She was so pissed off that he'd proven her wrong that he'd managed under 10mins, no congratulations or anything, just kept putting him down.

Clarkson did pretty damn well. Until you get out there yourself you can't comment. Its a proper scary place. He mentioned the 147 corners, but he forgot to say over half of them are blind!!! Experience is what counts (unless your RW 
)
)

Clarkson did AMAZINGLY well. Put it this way, Sabine was SO sure he wouldn't get under 10 minutes on his first weekend there - she told him so 
. He did and top banana to him 
(very good in a 206bhp car ). She only beat his time by 40s or so, which considering her 15000 lap experience to his 20 or so didn't impress me as much as him getting under 10min.
However, I think she was just taking the piss out of his refusal to accept that she might know which is the best line, hence telling him he was basically a shit driver . Obviously he has no natural talent (and he is the first to admit it ) - try getting in the car with someone who has a natural ability for the place . I was in the RWs TME Evo VI when he did his 8.12.66s - his first ever weekend there .
You have to remember that Clarkson looks ULTRA good on the TG test track, as he spends hours hooning around and they obviously cut out any "incidents".

.He was prpoer having it and TBH although I had no trouble blitzing him a few times, he was no slouch!!!
I reckon in a better set up car, he would have been a lot better. I have never seen such a lollopping boat go round there

Incidentally, the guy in the Z3 Coupe is Dave from the Norfolk group - his son Nath posts on here as well .
The car was repaired for Ł2k (mates rates), so not as bad as it looked . It is the same guy that had the Z3 on hand controls last time at Bedford as well . Dave is a complete petrol head with a Nissan 350Z, 300Z, and Focus RS as well . A very 
and brave man .
There was one shot of my car going round, but if you blinked you missed it, as it was taken through the fence.

Rick,
Someone timed me once at around 9.30 four up, but you have to remember it takes a minimum of 50 laps to just get an idea of where the place goes. I have only now just done 100 laps.
The joy of the place is learning a little bit more each time - with a 147 corners you always come away with an improved line for at least one of them....

Mike, without sounding like a raging homo, you're pretty quick round there (even though you keep 'forgetting' to take me round of late ) and would imagine you put in pretty swift times. I timed one of my Dad's laps on our second visit when we didn't even know what was coming up and he did pretty much 9 mins flat, I would imagine thats now vastly improved, I have never timed my own but would like to have a rough idea, especially as I have actually took the trouble of doing some research to learn it, unlike my Dad!!
