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 !

two absolutely brilliant corners

Oh for more power in my Midget so I could enjoy the straight as much as the corners

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)

[Kneesparks]

Still like that vid Mark, must edit it tho as its kneesparks not kneeline
When is the cut off on this as I still have not booked up for ether day yet, Im working Fri Sat niht so dont finsh work till 6am so will prob only make it sun and get there around 10 after a couple of hours sleep.

as well as that, there aren't many cars that are well-enough screwed together to be doing that sort of thing.

Rob's got a couple of different lines through there penned out - I'm sure he'll share.

I always feel like I'm going a shade too fast right in the middle of the corner, a bit less seems to be a bit more here.
