Rockingham Friday 5th August - OPL 2 tracks
tony_danza:
Great day.
Car is a little soft for trackwork, as expected, but by God does it grip relentlessly. Did all day on OE brakes, no real dramas although it does get hot after about 10-15 minutes. Oh, it slides ok too.. :evilgrin:
I saw Si, although every time I went to find him in the paddock, I missed him. He was going well on track though, that little buzzbox shifts.
Janner_Sy:
Didn't do braking though.
Did you see me in ththe gravel trap. :driver:
Thought the aafternon'session was rubbish personally. Track was too short, and too much traffic, if I wasn't being heldup, i was holding someone else up, which'is where I went off in the end.
I let a group of caterhams go past, pulled back out only to find id not seen another that had tried to join them in going past. Almost cut him up and ended up plowing off the track as id ccompletely missed he braking point. Gravel absolutely everywhere.
Much prefered the morning session which was very good.
My car was running stock tyres (conti 2's) and gthey started to go off quite badly after the morning session when it ggot nice and warm.
Job #1 new brakes as they were woeful
Job#2 new boots
Job#3 kerb the body roll
Then I think she'll be pretty good
Never saw a 135i though!!

Yes, the 2nd half wasn't brilliant, that long left hander I don't think I got a single shot at without something either being in my way or wanting past. The morning config suited my car better too.
I didn't see you in the trap, I did see you a couple of times on track though.
I was parked with my mates with the MKII Escort, Lotus Sunbeam, black VR6, red/orange M3 and the MX-gay
