Sounds possible. If you're Using new/fresh slicks and haven't before you'll be gobsmacked at how much grip they get. Oil surge is an issue on a lot of cars, not sure if the E92's suffer this? Also everything takes huge forces when running slicks, something that handles well on cup 2's can handle like crap on slicks.

Long shot but were you at s'stone getting coached by Matt last month?
Not the first time the car has been on Slicks, it's epic to be fair.

And yeah, I was with Matt at Silverstone last month.

Indeed, were you at the PGT day?

And sure thing, I'm not sure how likely it is I'll make it.

I might rock up on the morning and see if there's any spaces as I've no interest in doing a wet day.

excellent effort, best time so far imho smile

Just wondering if I've seen your car before - what colour is it?
Yes mate possibly. It's dark green estate and worth about £200.

I really like that, especially because it's an auto - respect smile

Remember a similar car to yours (is it the same one??) a few years ago and laughing at how quick it was, don't think it had the taxi stickers though.

Ha ha. yes I'm sorry that was me getting in the way. It's gone for scrap now. I'm in another merc but something that doesn't get in the way as much, at least in a straight line. The old one was great in the bends. I'm in a blue merc C230k with a loud supercharger wine ! There on the 27th this month. You're obviously in a GTR ? Any more days booked ?

What a small world smile

Lol you weren't getting in the way, the reason I remember it is because it looked so funny seeing it go round so quick!

Fantastic effort. Last time I was at brands there was a VW transporter van! Also some stupidly quick skodas!

In my book it's always the least quick looking cars that are the coolest smile

Yup that's me in the geriatric Datsun, love it!

Might pop along for the 27th - hope to see you there.

When I turned up people were sniggering but unless they were in something fast I gave them some greif !! Come and say hello if you turn up. I usually park along the fence.
Love the GTRs What an awesome piece of kit. I have a E 55 kompressor which I keep thinking about tracking but possibly a bit delicate

I can definitely beat that on a dry summer day. I'm on the reserve list for this Sundays trackday but I'm not optimistic.

Is anyone going to brands on the 14th Jan?

Weather looking good fingers crossed.
I'm planning on coming for the afternoon if it's dry.

I'll be in the Elise rather than the M3, though.

The e-mail said the circuit is 'under several inches of snow'. Dad and I were supposed to be having our first outing in a Caterham Supersport.

Fantastic. Will def see you there smile

Going to get some track days booked up asap... feeling quite depressed having had the last two days cancelled (snett 17 Dec now brands tomorrow)

Doubt I'll bring the old Datsun but would love a shot of whichever German galavanter you choose to bring,copying your lines etc may bring some balance to my comically crap driving smile

Last couple of Fridays I maid it to brands, happy days smile

My standard Megane 250 cup did some consistent high 56's and my old Datsun was back into the 52's for the first time since 2013 when it broke third gear! Thankfully no breakages this time smile

Both cars were on Yokohama AD08R tyres and the Datsun has 470 @hubs.
