They have overtaking on the right there because the pit exit is on the left. I thought it was odd when I was watching yesterday!

I didn't see this car yesterday, but looks like you had fun! :cool:

My bad, you can clearly see you've just 'done' those cars up the inside line on the track, you can see the gap, clear as day!

and finally hosted on goggle

ten mins of in car footage,by this time the bmw was quite a lot slower
developed a problem on right handers at lunch
traced it at that time to low fuel in the tank ,so nipped out and filled her up with petrol

by last session of the day it was holding back again mid apex with either fuel starvation or i have sloshed up the water at bottom of tank into fuel lines

anyways heres the link in car footage starts 8 mins into the clip

EXCUSE MY SWEARING :o:

all in all boys
for 230k miles and original suspension and road tyres i thought she done well
most iother cars were stripped track cars with cages strut braces and track tyres

certainly upset a few people especially in the morning before the tyres went off
and the faster cars got used to the track

first two sessions i sat on the rear bumper of a rs4 all the way

and the second session i had the track scooby come out behind me with a course instructor driving
lucky for me he was 4 up........and that was the last i see of him
much to the amusement of the three passengers in the scooby :mad:
