Pembrey 21st June

[Terzo204]

Great day. Burning hot all day.

Had great fun in the Westie.

Hope the dude in the Alfa sorted the power steering issue.

Anyone else there?

Yeah I was there in my Caterham.

Great day! Bit too hot to do long sessions but had plenty of track time after the red flags calmed down a bit in the afternoon.

Yep I was there in the red asbo, great day fair play. As above, hot hot hot!

The red Alfa was me unfortunately. Was having a great time before the pump seal failed. Some lovely machinery there and as you say the weather was boiling - my neck is suffering!

Many thanks to the many people that came over to help too and Karl the RAC man

I said hello to you Stott as I was intrigued by what your car was. Properly quick car and very well prepared.

Hope the Alfa is sorted soon

Here's my footage from the 2 sessions I managed: http://youtu.be/kv0_MojoKOA

Won't be spectacular like all your rwd cars sliding about!

[stott]

I've got loads of video from both cars but I'm like a youtube idiot. Last one I uploaded took me about 12 hrs

I would have had loads of footage from my Orange Radical (before it broke!!!!), but the marshal at the collecting area made me take the smarty cam off. I don't use the footage to improve my lap times so maybe it is about time the TDOs told us in advance whether cameras are allowed and better still, if they aren't allowed, why they aren't allowed!!
Still, it was a good day after the whacky races of the first sessions and other than the red flags, it was a bloody good day out.

I was told to take my cameras off too (I did record one run but it was ended after a couple of laps thanks to a red flag). Shame since I had 2 GoPros (I borrowed one), forward and backward facing. I don't use the videos to time but I do like to look at that afterwards to see where I'm going wrong.

Apparently they're not allowed on open top cars! Crazy since I was using proper roll bar mounts. I've heard that Pembrey have had some strange requirements in the past. They wouldn't allow passengers at one time according to one TDO I spoke to.

So what car had it's wheel come of at Honda Curve?

[paul1087]

The guy in the red primera!

[Broomer]

I was there in the S2000.

What a great day, especially the free instruction!

I was using two cameras all day and I didn't get asked to remove them.

Posting from my phone so hope it works.

Ps. I saw your S2000 youtube vids. Car is going great!

[Broomer]

Thanks, were you at Llandow on 31st last month too?


I keep looking at Youtube for new videos and yours don't seem to come up for me, but now you've linked to them I'll have a look.

Lots of images, but not a single one of my car. I guess I was just too quick!

Yes that was me at Llandow. Back there on July 26th - got new Bilstein B6's and power steering pump coming, so hopefully they will be fitted in time. The vid should be there now.

Here's a non-mobile link to the photos - should work better: https://www.flickr.com/photos/opentrack-track-days...
