Well it's dry but a bit grey in Silverstone, but fingers crossed for a dry day  :driver: :driver:

If anyone is coming along today you will find me/my car on the Milltek stand so pop by and say hello  :happy2:

Any news on what the weathers looking like there now? Trying to decide whether to make the 1.5 hour journey but don't fancy it if its going to be lashing down as the weather forecast sites seem to suggest!

Cheers,

Deacon

Had a good day out at Trax...despite the 30mins queuing outside to get in and then with it being majorly wet in the first track session. 2nd session with SteveP following was wee bit better bit still quite damp!

3rd and final session was bone try and the clutch wasn't liking the abuse. But the AP's were much better tho compared to the OE 345's!   :laugh:

The Nissan Academy cars were mental...and driving etiquette was shocking. No one paid much attention to the passing rules (including the Nissan's who just dived into the corners regardless if u saw them or not!)

Don't think I'll be venturing out at Trax again even tho the R held its own out there and happy with the way it went.
Did 3 videos using the new Pikey Mount set up so will see how they come out once edited.  :happy2:

Good to see you today Lee  :happy2:

Completely agree about the debacle that was the track time, the marshals did nothing about some of the crazy driving going on. I saw the pace car being over taken on a corner during the out lap and they didn't black flag the guy  :surprised:

ok....pikey mount was made and used for the first time this weekend! Chungster Productions is up and running  :signLOL: :signLOL:

First clip... Paxo spinning infront of me in first sesh.



and to prove the dodgy driving not abiding the overtaking rules!

Found out it was Ape's on SCN's mate in the M5, and Ape in the Forge stickered Leon having a play with him after i let Ape by.



Do have an hour's worth of HD coverage over 3 sessions but I'm not about to waste 4 hours trying to upload them  :signLOL:
