The 30min tuition made a big difference

Bummer... i was expecting it to sheet it down so didnt pop up. 

Hows the car steve?

Really good, some ruff edges to be ironed out but was pulling an indicated 140+mph down the back straight so not all bad

i can't believe Geordie used 2 full tanks of fuel today! 

[geordie56]

Tell me about it! I've got to bloody fill up to get home again tomorrow aswell! But hey what a day, and as said the tuition is money well spent. As you said Steve defo worth it at beginning of a track youve not been on before as you have a starting point to progress on through the day. Good to meet you guys.

Im heading down tommorow, so will see yous there Tuesday bright and early. Didn't really want to go down at the crack of sparrows on Tuesday morning so stayin in a hotel. Looking forward to giving this diff a good workout.

Im sure I you going the other way on the m6 yesterday! Lol

[geordie56]

Jpc you probably did pal what time of day was it?

Good to see you lads yesterday, had a great day, a few laps with some tuition gave me confidence to just lift off rather than brake into some corners, and the straight at 140mph into a chicane jumping the curbs at 100mph 

A bit of footage behind The Red Baron and a lap of Bedford.



Mike what settings do you use on your GoPro, mine seems to bright on the outside when filming from inside. It was on Resolution: R2, Exposure: Center Weighted.

On the news today another large glacier has disappeared due to geordie56's right foot

Great video Neil  With regards to the GoPro, try having a little less of the roof lining in shot - you may also want to try spot metering. Camera is currently metering for inside the cabin, hence the over exposure of the track.

I think i might order a CD for mine. He took some extra ones at the end of the day after having a chat with us.  

[geordie56]

Great footage Neil it's come out good! On a side note what we said about checking wheel nuts we all had better make a more concise effort. At the end of the day when I said I thought my driveshafts were sounding a bit clunky, it wasn't them! I phoned matt at vwr who sent me over to kpm first thing in the morning and when they went to take the wheels off he said and I witnessed, 2 were loose one was hanging out and the other two were bloody missing on one side! The other side I was lucky to have all five in. As a result of this Kevin has fitted studs and nuts the same as Neils, could have ended up like that Clio! I had him change my brake fluid while I was there aswell to an ap race fluid. Apart from that what a day!

Did you not check them before coming down south??

I re torqued all mine on monday. It's all part of checking the car over before heading out on track.

[rich83]

Need to speak to the photographer about shutter speed! 

[geordie56]

Yeh they were bloody checked and torque up, kevin said it happens to there Full all out race cars so they check them after every session which I I'll be doing aswell! It's just down to the sheer pressures etc in cornering etc.. He said it happens.
