Duxford indemnity forms
Discussion
When I last went(2000) the action stated just after 6pm when Joe Public has been kicked out and well away from the runway.
Then its an almighty roar as 200 TVRs are fired up(more this year).
You all follow in line slowly down the peri track (max 20mph) until you get to the end of the runway where a Marshal will flag you through, you can then FLOOR IT until you see a fire engine parked next to the runway some yards from the end. This is the braking sign and so long as you start braking then you will get round the top turn if not there is plenty of grass for those that leave it too late.
You then taxi at slow speed round back to the start.
There is a stopping area if you want to pull out or swap drivers/pick upor drop passengers.
On the sprint I found it useful to get my passenger to spot braking marker as it is easy to miss if you are busy chasing other cars or watching the mph/revs.
In my S1 I was just getting the tun so long as I changed gear at 4500, the temptation to hang on longer before changing up is strong but this is where an unrestricted blast is so useful find the best changes.
Lets hope the weather is good see you all there.

New plugs, HT set and Optimax should be good for 105?
Watch out for the racing Tuscans and Cerbera which fly past and deafen as they blast by

Assume this is for the runway blast?
On this subject anyone know what the length is for accelerating/braking/run-off at the end so I have some idea of what terminal speed to expect in a Griff and whether I will be OK with standard pads and fluid.
Last year my terminal speed was approx 120 (chimaera 430), but I was unable to engage fifth due to gearbox trouble. I was also being a wuss and breaking quite early.
Can't wait!
