Hi Neil (great name  :smiley: ), I was at a nice dry Donington in April, on track with Ross and his R26R cooked my brakes (DS2500's) after 4/5 laps and had to let him past  :ashamed: I was quicker on the straights though.




Would love to do it again on the 24th but just did Bedford last week and at Anglesey on 8th June, hope to see you on track another time  :happy2:

Neil

Great video that bud does look a very fast track  :driver: a lot of speed to scrub off for some of the corners, so pretty hard on the brakes,
Yes hope to see you on track sometime  :happy2:
I have got Donny, Silverstone, Croft, (Ring n Spa in October) booked upto now this year, might squeeze a couple more local ones in aswell like Cadwell & Blyton  :smiley:

And yes you have a great name aswell NEIL :smiley:
What camera you using bud ?
