Alwin, great to meet you and the wife. Yes - No problem, probably better if I edit out the warm up and cool down laps, but no problem.

Don't take tips from me, I could have been much quicker than I was. It is funny how different a race car that someone else owns and the car you are hoping to drive home in makes the flat out corner a slight lift on the way in; just to be sure you make it on the way out !!!

Blanchimont is flat for one of the instructors there, for me I was lifting before the second apex as I tried it flat earlier and was on the matting outside of the kerb!!!!! Hero status revoked wink

Someone text me this joke today and it made me think of you Nick.

"You know what's sweeter than a laughing child?

The sound of silence from not having any kids in the first place"

Made me laugh anyway getmecoat

Great video John and fantastic quality. Was there a bit of a moment at 2'30"? How did the tyres hold up?

Click on a lap to see the telemetry for that lap. Sadly my last session did not seem to capture any data, but I have the video of the last session, soon to be on youtube......

Yes on the first flying lap the rear tyres were not up to temperature and @ la source & the top of Eau Rouge I had a small moment. That is the price of driving with traction control off and cold tyres. It has the effect of warming them up quicker though biggrin I wish I had a camera on Tracy's face though, it was a picture.

Wondered who that was beside you. I must say either the mic didn't pick up voices or she was very restrained. She told us about one or two previous driving 'moments' yikes when we met in Wales - she can add this one to the list. biggrin

These vids are from the afternoon when she had got a bit more comfortable, but the morning was just hilarious. Her eyes were on stalks and all I could hear was a nervous laugh biggrin. She has been a worthy passenger and I even gave her 2 of my sessions to go out in the car driving with an instructor.
