Trackday - Weds 29 April - Snetterton 300
Discussion
Well that was a fun day , nice to meet everyone and blag a ride in the Sagaris. (Cheers)
The Tasmin gave Us a couple of tests but luckily We found the causes quickly.
The basic nature of a race car proved fun when we got caught out in the heavy rain but all in all the car passed it's first track outing with us with smiles all round .
Had a good last session chasing Colin round.
Cheers

Hopefully a good time was had by all, I certainly enjoyed it.
Really good to meet up with the other regulars, Anthony, Colin, Geof, John, Mat, Richard , etc, (alphabetical order, Lordy I'm diplomatic) and others..............
Foolishly believed the forecasts and drove on my road R1Rs but should have worn Triple 8s, so much more grip, (well not a huge amount more but would have made me feel better!).
I enjoyed giving you guys rides and will post up a couple of GoPro clips shortly if I can master the technology!

Was a great day. 1st go in the sag on a track and 1st go at snetterton. I enjoyed it, lot to learn yet, about the car. I had a great time in the rain, only bout 10 cars out there. Looked at cam last night and I was out for half an hour in it. Few poop moments, bit of an aquaplane down the staight at about 90, but overal was a great time sliding around 
I found the Nangkang NS2R's to be pretty good. But I have nothing to benchmark against.
Anyone more than welcome to a passenger ride in sag, any excuse to go out again. But as I said, the weak link in a fast lap in that car was me....
Good to meet a few, never really got to chat properly to a few and put faces to names from here
Roll on Spa in a few weeks
Will do again

That last one was during the heavy midday rain when I followed the sag out.
Lucky it was that bright a colour as it was about the only car I could see through the wall of water that was thrown up by the tyres.
Imagine going down the straight following a group of cars at about 80-90 mph, you couldn't see a thing!
By comparison, I saw 140 on the clock towards the end of the day down the back straight.

I'm not the stig or speilberg, so good luck with the vid lol
Will stick a lap or so of the wet part later. But like you said difference between dry n wet was about 30/40mph down the straights.

In my dim memory I have a faint recollection that Peter was going to post up a video of how Snetterton looked while chasing after me.
That's if he has mastered the technology yet.
I have a 6 year old grandson I can lend you Peter.....for as long as you like in fact.....
Ha ha, No2 son returned from Bali today and is downloading to YouTube as I type!That's if he has mastered the technology yet.

Here is a bit of video from my first stint after the rain , I know I was taking it a bit careful due to track drying out but it looks like I am crawling round ! (ok I probably was crawling compared to most :-/ )
Camera split the video into 5 minute segments of 650Mb so just need to process them all and stitch together !
