Rockingham - Epic Day

[AMDBSNick]

Tested V12VS on Silverstone National. Would not pay to go there IMHO Rockingham will be very difficult to beat

[MollyGTi]

Anyone like to see some photos?

My tyres don't look like this after 20 minutes on a normal Friday, must have been having lots of fun

The actual footage quality is pure HD and superb. This is a little grainy as I wanted to get the file size down so doesn't really represent how good the GoPro Hero 3+ is.

Good stuff

Very very jealous, looked like a great day out!!

Has anyone got any video footage? I know Tony Hall has and is going to get that posted!!

Apart from the photo lap, did anyone else get to explore the bowl? Determined to be quicker than my previous lap time I braked far too late from 125mph and quickly found myself on the scenic route.

Ah it was you

I think Simon caught it on film on his You Porn....sorry, Tube clip.

All,

Just received an email from Dom the photographer. Currently uploading all of the photographs (1.5 gigabytes) so should be ready shortly after the weekend.

Goodwood are very, very restrictive on noise and numbers of cars on track at one time. I'm not sure that they even do open pit lane days.

I know, and yes they do.

There are a good few 105dB days there and there are ways and means. My car was allowed out at 112dB, there are ways and means...

Yes there would only be 5 cars on track at a time and some 'noise management' technique would be needed

But Goodwood is a great track, 140+mph easily Just less cars can go...

I have a couple of excellent 10 min clips. Struggling to upload ATM. Wifi in the cave is not good so will probably have to wait until in the office tomorrow

I would also like to say thanks to Bob for being responsible for a top day out, everyone looked like they really enjoyed it, also, thanks Dave for the hotel and photographer - really looking forward to the pics.

Just a couple of photos to be going along with.

Love to see a Volante in the lineup...did it hit the track? Mine would have for sure!!!

Certainly did, and it performed very very well

What sort of numbers were people getting when noise tested? Mine had valves closed so not relevant.

I got 103 on my Vanquish

Copied and pasted from the,now, overly long thread!

Great to meet so many welcoming and interesting petrol heads - Bob, thank you for organising what turned out to be a great day in terms of people, cars, weather and aural delight!

Best wishes from,

Adam and Chloe

try Oulton or Cadwell

Some great pics so far!

Seeing some of the pictures with multiple Astons side-by-side reminds me of just how much presence the DBS and new Vanquish have.

Very good.

So, there we have it. Proof that a V12VS is no quicker than a V8V !

( I know, it's the driver).
