i missed it as had to look after our stand due to everyone else fooking off and leaving me to look after peoples stuff who were out on track.

I was second person on our stand at 7:30 am and left ford fair at 18:05 - was proper shattered and then to have to sit through the traffic and in my car which is well over a 100db in the car - gave us all a headache at the other end

he was gonna do the 0-60 in it too but his 3pm session on track snapped the rear hub where the caliper bolts on and locked up the back wheel whilst he was drifting so it wasn't to be. That what handbraking at 80mph does!!

No probs, I got better as day went on and learned the track and car. Glad you enjoyed.

Mike was alot of help. Thanks Rainbum

You know the back stepping out on turn in? thats because I was turning in too hard. Rubbish driving basically... not using all the track, poor line etc, over aggressive steering input.

Sometimes its good to think sod lap times, its good fun sliding about on the wrong lines and being too aggressive.
