Trackday - Weds 29 April - Snetterton 300

[MPoxon]

Last part of the video the track still looks quite moist. Wise to be taking it a bit easy me thinks. Awesome car by the way.

What a cracking day ! I was there with my son in his E36 328i. As I hadn`t taken my Golf, I was passengering instead of driving, which is always different... Anyway, I popped out for 20 minutes to take some photos mid afternoon. Unfortunately, I only have these of TVR`s.

That's perfectly ok - you got the only one that matters.....

Loving my new wheels - I wondered what they would look like at speed
That must be the last corner. Pleased to see that i am using all the track.

Another post from the interloper - didn't notice it was exclusive TVR initially Don't feel too bad because I have a 1971 TVR Tuscan with 302ci V8 (was 3.0L V6) which I've owned since 1977

Any photies or video of the red Sierra? Nothing has appeared so far

The red Sierra was awesome, I was the short fat bloke in the car park who asked you what you had under the bonnet There were a few of us TVR nuts on the pit wall on various occasions and we all smiled stupidly like 12 year olds each time the red Sierra thundered past Quality work....

Unedited clip of Anthony, (QBee) being follow by me filming.

I'm staying behind for filming purposes

Session finished abruptly as I try to stay behind to film and take a left handed from the wrong side of the track without adjusting speed culminating in a spin!

It's funny how it looks so slow on here.

Thanks for posting that Peter.
After lap one I was giving it full beans, but you were out for a Sunday drive it seemed.
Must tighten my rear suspension a little more, it seemed to wallow a bit.
And improve my line through the left hand hairpin (Agostini) - I missed the apex every time by about half of Norfolk!

Your rev counter bounces a lot....or is it just a very free revving engine? Didn't sound like that on the video, but when i drove it I remember it as very free revving.

Finally, that spin looked exactly that speed in my rear view mirror.....I nearly went off at the next two corners, I was laughing so hard.
Not at you at all - it was just that the spin looked so funny in my mirror. Had an element of the Keystone Cops about it......

Enjoyed that video Peter, quality from the black edition is very impressive. Looked much more shakey that the last one I saw on the short sprint course, are you using a different mount?

The track appeared to look quite dry on the video but clearly still quite slippery from the amount of oversteer going on.

[phazed]

Same mounting but more speed achieved at Sneterton.

I will adjust the mount for next time also add the remote Mike that I forgot to take!

The track was dry but wiggles caused by power

And being on the wrong tyres. It was bone dry by the last run of the day, and you were on R1Rs.

Gallery is now up on the Javelin webpage , with one photo of each car , hopefully there are more on the photographers page but I can't see it on iphone.

I was behind you for a few laps and gave up, especially when it rained heavier, like a "wall of water" at speed.
