Yeh thanks again for that, really helped me out! :-)

I managed a 1.55sec lap which is my fastest yet, plenty of room for improvement though!

Tempted in Donny now on the 14th August :-)

My fav pic so far!

I ermmmmmmm allegedly appear to have timed you in the first session post dinner. You started with a 2:02' then down too 2:00 , then a 1:57 and 1:55 to end with. Good times.

I had a fiddle with the suspension and felt much better as it was far to firm with no rebound.. The rain was on/off in the afternoon but still managed to get out every session which is good.
I was on michelin road tyres but was able to beat my best previous lap time around oulton by over 4 secs :-) So looking forward to getting the slicks on next time

Pics of the day below, sorry if there is lots of them!
