Goodwood Today
Discussion
Couple of vids from today with a good friend of mine in his new Civic Type R and fellow PHer Max.
Merc behaved itself well and did a decent job with the Cup rubber on. Civic ran out of talent at one point and went off piste much to my amusement. Best time in the Merc was a 1.35 dead, best in the Civic was a 1.35.41.

I didn't see you out on track at the same time as me (maybe you were just too fast). I heard about your 'moment' with the Corsa 
I thought I might have a similar issue with the beaten up Mini...
Still miss my 172 Cup, that was a brilliant car with such a good chassis. The Civic is quite a weapon whereas the Merc is more of a blunt hammer where you can really feel the weight of the car under braking and through the bends.
The tips on the exhaust were black chrome when I ordered them from FE but after a few heat cycles on track they went all rainbow on me! You should have come and said hello.

The Clio needs a turbo! Great car just a little slow. I thought I might have a similar issue with the beaten up Mini...Still miss my 172 Cup, that was a brilliant car with such a good chassis.

I caught up the Corsa but he would not let me pass so I just had to follow him for 4/5 laps as it had similar power down the straights. When questioned, he seemed to think he was faster than me despite me catching him up!
Next time I will come and introduce myself. Did you come across that orange McLaren?
I saw the Corsa out on track. I got overtaken in the morning by the Macca when I was on the AD08R's and then went out after him in the afternoon but a slight combination of me waiting for the Civic to get on and him just being better meant I didn't see him after a few corners in
Fair play to the Macca driver, he looked older than time! That'll be me when I'm grown up.

I missed the donuts completely...so unlike me.
I was the last man there changing my wheels and checking tyre pressures. I took so long a van turned up to escort me off site
Not sure if the guy in the Megane is on here but I hope he got some footage of the Merc following me for a session. I never find vids of my car other than the ones I take myself and I always think it's great to see how your car handles from outside.
