Greig - magic footage. I watched it and thought I'm not actually as crap as I thought, and that was in the afternoon when my passenger got the heebie jeebies and I had to slow down! You can see that I had noticed I was about to get passed in the chicane. Awesome driving from you guys, it was quite an eye opener for a novice - I am assuming that was Gordon car you were in?


Your lines were actually pretty good, reckon with a few more brave pills you would've been running some decent times - yes that was gordon's car, I gave him my camera & mount for the sunday sessions.

Thanks for that - great to meet you all. Will hopefully see you back there soon - I think I am addicted.

Some pics of the Ferrari's.







and the Renault F1 car.



got some of most of the cars on track and a couple of statics of the k'egg but not the best due to the crowds around it.
It really did sound good. Where was the Zonda though?

Keith,

I do like the artistic shot of the Renault F1 - some may say this shot of the same car was art also?

Notice the guy to the back left with his right hand in his pocket...!

nice video.
2 questions.

1. how come the 355 with the challenge grill is so quick? and i don't just mean in the corners due to driver, but on the main straight as well.
2. who went on fire?

1. its mostly the driver, he's 'kin quick in anything and he's getting out the corners a lot quicker than most other drivers, hence giving him that head start up the straight
2. Some modified ford focus (I think)

I was sitting next to Greig in the GT3 on the Saturday sessions, and I couldn't believe the pace of that particular 355

Yes, the dude can definitley drive a bit - it's certainly the quickest I've ever seen a 355 go...


As for the Focus on fire - it wasn't Charlie Shaw, was it?

Slightly late due to network problems but here's my pictures, only phone cam ones, my digi cam is nicht arbieten but they came out okayish. Northos k'egg was looking very nice, made the XJ220 look very boring. The XJ has such a rank interior I was very dissapointed with it. The motox freestyle was pretty good too.

yeah i didnt realise that the screen curved around so much, it makes the murci look fat and bloated. When I was watching it lapping from the hairpin it seemed to bottom out coming in, was that painful, physically or financially?! they sideways exits from the hairpin were a highlight for me!

Thats track days for you - I have never seen a car buyer chcking the underside of a car like that - mainly because its impossible. Car is fine!
