Rockingham 8th March

[Pumajay]

Got this one booked for my first one of 2015.

Link to book if anyone fancies it.... https://store.rockingham.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=150308TA

Did Rockingham a couple of years ago and didnt expect much from it, was so wrong. Great track and quite challenging in parts.

Be good to see an Exocet, never seen one in the flesh before

Was a brilliant day first time at rockingham didn't take the exocet thank god in the afternoon. Was very slick in the afternoon and if anyone seen 2/3 mx5 sliding about together with a blue clio cup behind that was me in the grey mk1.

Don't apologise fella - much better to build pace gradually and you did try to let me by right before pif-paf just didn't think there was room/time.

Vids look good - that spin was a bit of a worrying moment - wondered where you were going to stop!

I'll openly admit to looking out of the window thinking "please stop" as the gravel approached!

especially after looking at what happened to the Clio

Nice grippy tyres saved the day!

[Pumajay]

Glad you all enjoyed it.

The rain was not good for me on semi slick tyres, I need another set of wheels now with some decent wet rubber on them

Was still running my semi slicks

[MG CHRIS]

Video from the back of my mx5 with my mates mx5 behind was great fun in the wet rwd with a welded diff

Note do spin at around 8 min mark and do have a big moment coming through the banking as I hit the white line. Cant believe how slippy rockingham is in the wet but deffo going back up there again.

Well looks like they still had plenty of grip when going sideways anyway lol
