RE: PistonHeads Sunday Service: Fast Car Festival 31/7
Discussion
Thanks to PH for organising, had a great time on track, was my first time on a circuit and once I got my head around it and got my bearings it was ace.
Sorry to anyone if I held them up, tried to get out of the way as best I could. Spent a lot of the 2nd session hassling the Sagaris Targa which was entertaining!
I need some new brake pads, they have escaped onto my wheels!

Sorry all the dust after Redgate was me (red Mk 2 Golf) - hairy sideways moment on the dirt. Luckily I managed to get the old girl back on track. I found that corner really tricky!
I got you on video! https://youtu.be/kP1gBAjXOJE
I was in the blue clio that was right behind you.
As mentioned earlier, Chris' photos from yesterday are awesome! If you haven't already, have a look.
Great big thanks to James & Ben for tickets and 2x tracktime.
Was flying in the 2nd session, 4.40pm, car is ready for new pads now lol.
Good to see people and have a blast.

It sounded good from immediately behind. In fact when I got into the top of my rev-band while behind you it created some really weird resonance effects, never heard anything like it.
Not sure if that was my rattly heatsheid echoing or just something to do with how loud the car is

If one has a video of the blue dc5 on the 4pm session please let me know, would love to hear how it sounded going down the straight.
Apologies if I held anyone up, my first time on a big track.
I got a short video - Again it's crap and you're at the end of the video.Apologies if I held anyone up, my first time on a big track.
It's a hundred mb, so I'll upload it via WeTransfer, and you can have a listen.
I was stood at the main pits seating area.

I really should just upload them to YouTube, but will do that another time!

Thank you, bit scary, I thought I was going to bin the old girl (red Mk 2 Golf) in the gravel. Chap in the Leon and his passenger said that she was flaming quite a bit under braking. Had no idea that was going on. If anyone has any photos or video would love to see what's going on out the back.sharper said:

There was a lot of smoke out your pipe mate, didn't see any fire! I'll have it all on video, will be going through it all tonight.dannyDC2 said:

I saw black smoke coming out at times.
At least it wasn't blue smoke! It's quite fuelly at the top of the rev range so that's why it's smokey on the over-run, didn't realised that it flamed though. Very noisy on way home so exhaust packing probably blown out. This may have contributed to want was coming out the back!sharper said:

This may have contributed to want was coming out the back!I must have loosened a wheel on track and heard it wobbling around 2 miles from Donington - whilst I waited for the RAC (wheel wrench was the correct size but too thick walled) I looked at my settings and saw the ignition was massively retarded too... so just that and the cutting out to sort.
