[wadsapple]

Hi has anyone got a decent onboard Video of Mallory Park please in a tuscan etc they could post up a link to.

Also could i have one of NTEL'S very informative track guides

I wouldnt worry about it Perry...

...you'll be fully conversant by lap 3!

Probably the easiest circuit in the UK. Llandau is harder!

Mallory is an odd circuit, simple to learn but difficult to master..

It's a very quick circuit, I end up less than 10mph slower at the end of stebbe straight than at the end of revvett at snett. It's probably got the highest average speed too.

For a good lap time you have to get everything perfect.

It was resurfaced last year too and is very smooth so I would expect laptimes to fall. Our best is around a 49.1 I remember being really pleased with that as the year before Tim hood did a 48 I. The black sag, only for him and Darren both do 46's!!!

Give me a shout if you want and I'll give you a quick run through.

Cracking cafe too

No problem Perry

Up the start finish straight, brake a bit, turn rigggggghhhhhhhhtttttt a lot, go straight for a fair bit, brake a lot and turn right, turn left a bit, go straight for a bit, brake and then brake more when you realise the first bit of brake wasn't enough, turn right a LOT, go straight for a bit, turn left a bit, go straight a lot and then start again

Pretty good description that Dave .... and it takes about the same amount of time to do a lap as too read it !!

I was racing there last Sunday in my Chevy V8 powered Esprit Silhouette (and won ) ..... have posted an in car video at http://vimeo.com/47544314 .....

A bit too cautious on cold tyres at the start, track got a bit busy when lapping (and when some had a grand coming together at the Esses) and 3/4 of the way through race had a "momemt" myself exiting Gerrards ....

Hope this helps !!

Cheers Simon
