I haven't got a protege for the event this time - for the first time in ages.

do we have any first-timers that want a sound introduction lurking anywhere ?

We need to team up to ensure Joanna with the sunbeam gets up to speed quickly

I know your brother offered to assist - I did too another offer of help would be appreciated

certainly - again, which day ? can you send me a forum name for me to pm her on ?

Joanna forum name "rootesgroup"

we'll work on skills that can be taken away - i.e. observance and smoothness.

Best you get those skills from Rob and Stuart and not me - although a recent very wet trackday in France has made me appreciate the smoother style - my observation still leaves a bit to be desired

Reminds me must put a thead up about that in this section and hope the mods don't move it to trackdays

thanks Ian

as for the course, its not hard to learn once you've had a go, the main problem is that large what appears to be a double apex before the long straight, always take a different line and always feel like I get it wrong.

there are two truly world-class corners on the track.....

the one you've identified, which is a very "technical" corner

.....and the one coming off the runway - full-throttle past the first cone on the right if you're brave, not many are !

Best corner ever and a huge buzz when you get it bang on but my advice to any newbie would be to take your time and build that one up gradually concentrating on the approach and line whilst building the speed on approachmaking sure when you do get it right you don't go up anyone's chuff when you do get it mastered.

The double apex onto the straight is fun but murder on the tyres when you have 350 kgs of pig iron over the front wheels............. (must learn slow in fast out as opposed to I know I can hit it at 80 and carry that all the way round on varying lines - oops thats another tyre toasted)

Ian,

I sent you a cheque for the Saturday meet at Marham. Its for Malcolm Borg with a BMW 525e. I am part of the Retro Rides crowd. I was asked by Rob to send the cheque to Ian Marsh which I did.

Am I on the list as the cheque has not left the account it came from?

Thanks

Malcolm

Edited by bm0p700f on Sunday 28th March 22:30

Hi Malcolm

I have the cheque - Going off to Marham very shortly

No problems with your entry at all - cheques are normally presented a week or two max before the event

[B'stard Child]

All entry details in OP

Couple of issues to sort out by email

robg2 said:

Oh no it looks like I'm not going!

Don't worry Ian - I understand as it looks like you had a late night!! Or maybe you're having trouble sleeping?? Maybe try counting sheep instead of cars!

I lost a couple of entries on the formating.. Don't panic you are in.

Hope that includes me for Saturday Ian? Just checked my email and I can't see anything from you on there.

Yep you are all sorted too

Wahey, thanks! I've been treating the Camry to a few new bits and bobs rather than mess around buying something specifically for this event. Its Sport suspension is almost too harsh for road use (compared to what you'd expect from a Camry anyway) so I'm going to be fascinated to see if that translates into a decent car on the track.

Ha ha - getting the bug then - sent you an email
