Snetterton Evening 22 June

[JoeMarano]

Who's going?

The Civic Type R killing Polo Gti will be there! Well not my one but one the same colour and everything

Will be interesting to see if it's actually any good on a track. We shall see.

[JoeMarano]

Notice there's a lot of Clio's going. Anyone here?

Having come from a 172 will be interesting to see if there's much difference.

That said I'm guessing most will be track prepped...

[JoeMarano]

Just looked at the list and 15 places left with 59 so far.

To me that sounds like an awful lot of cars in a two and a half hour time frame?

Better be careful!

[JoeMarano]

At Snetterton? Only one other evening a year or so ago which was wet.

[JoeMarano]

Standard? Would be nice to drive with similar power/weight cars.

[JoeMarano]

In all I've done a few laps of Nurburgring
Brands Hatch X2
Bedford SW
Snetterton

and then this, so not a huge amount of experience but enough to not be completely freaked out!

I'll be there but only taking pictures, if you take a look at my Facebook page tomorrow most from tonight should be posted.

Awesome! I usually take videos when I go down there so nice to see it work the other way round

Let's hope the weather holds off

I will be there but probably not in my 182 but my Clio 200 instead

Was it a blue 200 cup?

[JoeMarano]

I was in the black Polo Gti mate.

Sadly I only got my very first two laps here

Thank you very much

[JoeMarano]

Yeah I remember letting you past. Didn't want you going up the back of me when my brakes failed lol

Not as much difference in speed on the straights as I was expecting though is it modded in any way?

There's some videos taken from the Integra behind you here....

Yeah it was, went ok but it has a 'woolly' gearbox so progress is hampered sometimes.
Was a really good evening not to many reds and it stayed dry.

Here's another one

I had a bit of a moment when my brakes failed a bit on the second corner and I found myself on the left hand side of the track with faster cars behind. I whacked on my left indicator hoping they would take their line and that caused a bit of confusion lol


Did you get any videos?

[JoeMarano]

Yeah seen that one. Hope you got the other one on camera cos I was literally shutting myself not knowing what to do...stay where I was or move back onto the racing line with you potentially deciding to go for it lol

[JoeMarano]

Video is set as private?

[JoeMarano]

Oh no that wasn't me. That's a Corrado. Weird he indicated left at that point.

Mine was intentional as it was the best thing to do in the circumstance.
