VMax Carbon: Thanks to Craig and Team

[slinky]

Home and starting to look through some of the photos and videos from today..

Another brilliant event, with a great group of people..

Huge thanks from me, in addition to those due to Craig and team are to Leon for the pax run in the CTR3, bananas, simply bananas! Hughesie for the repeated pax laps in the M6 and Daz for the lap in the fumf, an impressively calm bit of kit!

Videos later!

Thanks for everything Craig it was a great day as usual . Managed to make the petrol station .
Unfortunately the serious had serious traction issues today but in many ways that was more fun . Great to see everybody .
Cheers .

Superb fun! A shame the weather didn't do us a favour but it certainly made the corners interesting.

Sorry couldn't take you out. Bloody puncture ended the day early.

Thanks to Craig for organising. My first vmax and definitely not the last!!

yes, thanks craig, for a great day, first vmax for us, started off fast but learned about the power of the wind , went slower all afternoon, but glad i managed a respectable speed....cheers keith

Thanks too from Brett and Paul, had a great day, really well organised and a good crowd, much appreciated. Tempted by more horses now....

Thanks craig! My first vmax and we had a great time.

A shame about the weather but I think the extra challenges certainly added to the driving fun though.

Thanks Craig, our first time too. Had a puncture on the third run of our day and with the help of Caroline and Daz managed to plug the hole (big thanks for that) and get the "Bathtub" to Kwik-Fit for a replacement tyre (amazed it only took them an hour to source one)

Back by 2.30 ish for a few runs in the pm. We recorded the following on the vbox.

0-60: 3.8sec
0-100: 7.9 sec
Vmax: 187.2

Not bad for a two tonne estate car

Really not a problem chap, hopefully I'll catch you at a future VMax.

Thanks so much Craig absolutely awesome day. First time for us as well and exceeded all expectations.

Big thanks also to Tom for a truly epic ride in the GT3 (want one so badly) and also to Henrik (I think, my apologies if I have your name wrong I was too excited ) for the insane 195mph run in his monster Porsche. Never experienced anything like that and will never forget either car so thanks guys.

Great group of like-minded people, very friendly atmosphere and a lot of awesome machinery being pushed to the limit.

Was really happy with my humble M3 CS considering how slippery it was - VBOX: 0-60 = 5.6 secs (w/o launch control) , 0-100 = 12.5 secs, highest top speed I saw was 164mph through on the timing board on one of my later runs. Hopefully that was recorded for the website

Race with the 1M was great fun as well - too very well matched machines.

What a day cant wait until the next one!

Thanks again

Crank it up to 720p and try to ignore the wind noise!

Really was a great day! First time at an event so was quite nervous coming down but got into the swing of things after a few runs. Leeson660 was great matching up our cars(mine was the orange 1M) and Slinky cheers for getting one of my launches on video!

[SaucyBoy]

Looks like you fellas had a great time and that the bad weather just added to the fun factor on the bends ; ) Got my invite on Friday but couldn't get out of a commitment I had at home in the afternoon : ( Had to make do with an Ace Cafe meet in the morning instead lol.

Hopefully I'll make it to the next one if invited : )

[TuxMan]

Great vd Slinky !! Man that R8 really hits the Tarmac !!! Looking forward to doing one of these events :-)))

[slinky]

I'll sort out the in car videos of me being rather excited in Leon's passenger seat and hughesie's M6 later..

[dasvolk]

Great event, things like this make me happy I moved to the UK. If anyone happened to get pics/video of my blue M3 please shoot me a message!

I'd call it driver tution runs! Found another video of us and the GT3RS - brilliant!

[leeson660]

The audis were the big suprise for me they were really really quick. The white v loud r8 and the ttrs fully committed off the line for what must have been 20 runs! Awesome to watch.

I've already emailed slinky but if anyone has any video or photos of my grey m3 cs itd be great if you could email it through to me [e-mail] would love to see it in action from the outside.

Cheers chaps
