Cool vid  :happy2:

Did you get touched or lose the back end? Surely not enough speed to lose the rear unless oil or something on track.

Well held!  :driver:
 Mind you the last time I saw a start like that was after a night shift at work when we got finished late- all you could smell was unburnt fuel and traumatised clutches and tyres as everyone tore out of the gate to get home- ever see a diesel rover 25 overtake a BMW 325 at full oil burning capacity before? My god it was carnage  :signLOL:

Clark curve looks quite exciting, too - reminds me of the old joke:

I was on my way home in the car when my wife rang me.  She told me that there were reports on the radio of a car on the motorway travelling in the wrong direction.  I said "It's not just the one.   There's bloody hundreds!"

There was prolly more action in the first lap of that VW Cup race than in the 90 mins of DTM!

Didn't loose the back, Tom got assisted from the rear & then hit my rear quarter!!!

Hi Neil, didn't see you.......... where down the hill with KPM?
Didn't get past Shaun in the 1st race, 0.4secs behind on the finishing line!!! If I did, I'd of got the reverse grid and been on pole for the 2nd race  :happy2:

I enjoyed Rockingham today Simon, looked like you made up a few places in the second race.  Well done  :congrats:

Saw you in the paddock between race 1 & 2 but was a bit shy  :ashamed: & didnt want to interupt you guys

You at Spa in a few weeks?
