would be nice to be in the low 1.20's but i have not done a track day there before so just going to have some fun.
You will do an VERY easy sub 1.20 if its dry!1.17-1.18 I reckon
if you can run it at full chat that is? how are you for Noise Duncan? I struggle to run more than 1.5 bar at Bedford

Hi Lee tested it static at 8000rpm and it was around 101-102 db will you be there in the westie, got any tips!!!
Sisters wedding mate, else I would be there! I don't think there is anything I can teach you!
All I would say is use all the available practice time and don't get over excited and clip a cone. I did an almost inch perfect lap once in my Clio. And just nudged a cone... kissed it in fact! So doesnt count. It was a 1.26.3 in a 185bhp Clio. Thats fooking fast! I wont (almost) nail a lap like that again!
one tip is... I would imagine you are going to be VERY tight on noise. So lift past all the sound moniters in practice. Call me on the day and I will talk you through where they are if you cant spot them. I'd just turn the boost up for your hot lap as well to make sure you get a go. You trip the noise meters once... and its home time dude
I'm all set for this now
Had to opt for 30 quid a corner part worns as a new set of cut slicks I ordered didn't turn up in time
Also had to get car mot'd!
Busaturbo I don't know your name but will come and say hello... Will take my camcorder too if you'd like me to get some footage of your car.
I'm booked for the 3rd session of the day but will arrive early and watch...
Really excited!
Cheers,
Sam

Great day
Nice to meet you Duncan and your dax rocket is something else! Had it been dry fxxx knows what time you would have got!!
I managed to get within about half a sec of my previous best with a 1:23.9 (i think) so was happy given the conditions...
TBH i had more fun sliding about than going for a lap time
cheers all,
Sam

Was over on the SEN circuit on the track day - morning was very frustrating mainly down to the low grip I think, lots of trains of cars and then a few people taking some risks to get past which were not really on.
Afternoon was much better though and managed to get plenty of open track space - have finally managed to get a decent brake set up on my S3 and not completely loose the pedal after 4 laps so came home very happy and got a lot more track time as a result.
Could hear you guys on the how fast day all afternoon squealing the tyres...
