Default 70mph Spin in the 3 Door at Prescott

Here's me showing you the wrong line to take through Orchard corner at Prescott, It would have looked quite cool if i'd caught it

close one!
As you lifted it was always going to slow then grip with your front wheels pointing the wrong way classic situation.
as you say it nearly looked good lol least it stayed out of the barriers m8
hope it didn't shake you too much and you got straight back on it

Ye I think I had pretty much full lock on when the front end gripped.
The missis stopped recording that point but I did a quick 180 and finish the run about 10 seconds longer than i'd have liked thou

For the benefit of those not in the know, 71 is effing quick at the speed trap. Most road type cars do 60-65 tops, I would say through there.

I know it's something that needs addressing, its only since the Supra diff has gone in I need to get all the geometry checked again as the the car is visabley lower at the back since fitting it. As it weighs about 25kg more.

Cheers mate although being 2nd from last in my class due to a pretty dire weekend had other spin in the esses on another run Span it round in its own length!
But I have the fastest bridge speed of anyone in my class nobody else is in the 70's

Thankfully I still haven't repaired the drivers door from my brush with the armco and Loton Park yet.

Here's the spin from another better angle, fast forward to 3:05 or watch the whole thing if you like.

Mikes Puma is awesome he's a really nice bloke too his girlfreind Sam runs a Saxo in Class A1 so we see quite alot of them. This is the last year for the Puma though its getting stripped for it parts and built into something rather special.
Mick Harriman in the SWB Quattro is also quick driver and all round nice fella he only lives 10 miles down the road form me.
