Nice! What is the bonnet like at >100mph? Mine gets pretty lively around 70ish...

Did you drive it to Spa, race it then drive it back?

[gruffalo]

Yep, drove down on the Friday, thrashed it Saturday and Sunday and drove home on the Monday.

Yes the bonnet flaps about a bit but just ignore it, all will be fine.

Lovely - thanks for sharing.

Best videos yet. Could do with a bit more tyre noise and steering wheel action viewing, perhaps! Excellent overall. What camera and software? I like the tarmac view, gives a good sense of speed.

Great videos, brings back lots of memories of Spa, what tyres were you on as I had heat problems in two differing sets of tyres both times. Have been told its a cerb issue with tracks like Spa but there must be some tyres out there to suit a cerb on Spa

[MPoxon]

Fantastic, love the videos.

Not me mine is red, that was PNGCerbera.

I took him out in mine on one of these videos, he is the chap with a slight South African accent saying that the brakes and awesome or some such statement as I brake for Eau Source, he is also chuckling as we head along the Kemmel straight.

All recorded using a VBox Lite system with one of teh bullet camera's they supply just recorded in standard definition.

What was really interesting on a few laps that I didn't film was that a Porsche Carrera GT that was there was no faster than the Cerb, even in a straight line, I spend a while following it round and we were neck and neck.

The 4.7 AJP is a mighty lump!!

Really glad the weather worked out for you, despite the atrocious forecast. I hope I'm as lucky next week for DN11, doesn't look good though...

[Longers]

Excellent videos Martin

I think Han enjoyed his laps with you, although he mentioned something about needing travel sickness pills afterwards

Having heard your car on track I think you should get an external mic and mount it near the exhausts. Doesn't need to be expensive and they make a massive difference

See you soon hopefully,
L'rs

I have had to fit a quiet exhaust now Ian, got fed up with wearing it out at noise testing for trackdays!

The quiet one actually releases an extra 5 or so BHP but does lack some of the drama.

I can confirm (from the passenger seat of your Cerb) that you were faster than the Porsche ;-) Your car IS really amazing, the power, the brakes, the noise. Thanks for dragging me around Spa, sick ;-)

I always thought your car could do with more BHP!

[MPoxon]

I love 'fking hell' from the passenger when you approach one of the corners at warp speed. That is a quick car and you certainly know how to drive it!

Just done a track day today at Cadwell Park, which can't be far from DN11.....it started with a snow shower, followed by driving persistent rain. We had a good afternoon, all except the two barrier-bound Lotuses.
