I'll have a look at that later on at home. Cracking weekend by all accounts, superb racing, great weather and much fun on the track laps

I'm sure my friend might have caught you both on video too. I'll give you the link to his video when he's uploaded it.

Here are mine

To be honest for the first four minutes I thought it was the M25

You got a friend of mine in his red Chim in the part 2 vid, looks like a fast car that what powers it?

Its powered by a K20 Honda civic type R engine. Porsche, Ferrari & various other marque owners tend to get irritated when I cant to come past

I remember the Chim, just before the new bus stop wasn't it?

I think so, the Black Exige I was with has the same but is supercharged as well, still can't believe how that thing revs and corners.

Do you mean the black S1 Exige? I think it used to be a owned by guy called Carsten. They're damn good fun! I've driven the supercharged cars a few times on track, but I've always been happy with my N/A set up, especially as you lose the VTEC induction as a result of the SC.

[gruffalo]

Yes, it is that exact car they bought it last year goes well and inthe corners it is awsome but then yours seems to be the same lookingat the videos :-)

More like the A414, through the dog bone, Hatfield tunnel for the pops and bangs, Hatfield roundabout dodging the 'I can't handle staying in lane or indicating' brigade, more A414 with the 60mph roundabout near the pik.....salt of the earth camp, the Panshanger roundabout (around 50mph), flat(ish) out down to Hertingfordbury roundabout with a little bit of tail slide past the always-being-renewed armco before easing off and pootling down to 40mph for the finish line at Hertford itself.

Bit like that.

Hertfordshire you say mmmmm now then that is a lot closer than Spa, could fit that in most weekends, I like.

Nice vid chap:up That Cerbera is rather quick off the mark! I bet you needed a new pair of undies after Eau Rouge! Clearly the cerb slowing down so quickly was the cause of that one.

[gruffalo]

I was driving the Cerbera, had to slow because of the marshalls on the course and had yellow flags for the entire session what with the blind crest safer to slow rather than ruin someone elses weekend, Han in the S3 on the other hand clipped the painted lines I think, he seemed quite unphased by it.

Quite right in slowing, I think the S3 simply didn't expect you to slow that quickly, but Eau Rouge is rather steep afterall

Driver of the S3 here. It went very quickly and looking at the video again I think you are right.
Guess I lost grip when lifting the accelerator.

And Martin thanks for sharing your excellent vid. Saw my car 1 time when the camera was filming a rear view.
