Perfect day - We're Back!! Mission accomplished at the 'Ring

[Hurdy]

Oh, and that lap looks like an 8:44 full 'ring lap, 8:17 B to G and 10:42 full VLN.

Should be able to get down near 8:10 with a little more tutoring.

I ain't no expert and I think you'd had your tuition after that so it'd be sucking eggs anyways. Decent pedalling.

Did you start using M at all? The box was humping around cogs all over the place in S and that would have un-nerved me somewhat.

I used M on about 8 laps usually on the second flying lap. Must have hit the rev limiter about 10 times in all, but the lap times were similar anyway. Traction control was off for about 12 laps after discovering I didn't need it and it helped with pulling cleanly out of tighter corners where the traction control was cutting in. Shows that the box is working great too

vid is class mate, you seem a good driver also!!! bye bye CSL  

looks like you had an awesome time, maybe one day i'll have a go

dont think my bagged suspension would be any good tho lmao!

[QD MBE]

Looks good John, looks like you had a great time.  The Ed sounds well in the vid, and sounds like you were well within yours and its capabilities.  Diff looks to be working well.

Great stuff, car sounds sorted.  Footage by DH is well worth watching.

How did the new pads get on mate?

amazing John  thats some lick 

[gtineal]

nice driving hurdy  , porsche what porsche   thought that pug 309 might have given you a run for your money though !    yeah right    

[Neimad]

Looks like you had a lot of fun out there.  I've only ever been round the north ring and only then as a passenger and I'm still in awe of anyone that can drive round there at speed.  It's an awesome track and I personally don't think that any amount of watching videos or playing your playstation can prepare you for the real thing, just the size of the kerbs and the changes in camber are something that has to be seen to be believed.

Amazing drive Hurdy, most entertaining! 

[Greeners]

Just watched the vid 

I think you could go faster with a stick!  On a few occasions it seemed you and the engine were ready for more but the gearbox wasn't. 

Awesome stuff and made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck a few times! 

You sure you can't come with us in a few weeks mate? 

[wigit]

top times and glad your back in one piece
