Silverstone Vid

[RobP]

Cracking day at Silverstone on Aug 21st. As I said elsewhere, the car clocked up it's 60,000th mile going down Hanger Straight Only the second time I've been to Slipperystone (first was a Noble evening session last summer), but it already ranks up there with the very best circuits IMO.
A mate is thinking of starting a small business in track day V-Box hire, so stuck the system in my car for a session of fun!
This is my first attempt at downloading/uploading(?) VBox data.Hope it works!

Nicely done, and i like the camera stuff, think i'd hire one of those.

very civil of you to wave to the waffe when passing him - or were you giving him the bird ????????

Hi Gagde - other than Roush exhaust, Pro-Alloy intercooler the car has NO power up-grades. In fact it is probably one of the lowest powered M400s around Also it has completely standard shocks and springs and no front end aero mods at all. And yet it will still post a 2:30 around Silverstone in traffic. So spend your money well

Yeah, I agree. You also get a massive amount of v useful data that isn't shown on the usual you-tube vids. Hiring is a great option.
And no I wasn't taking the piss waving to the waffe as I passed! Just being polite.

Nice peddling, definitely worth getting one of those proper vbox thingies. On the cheap you can use Harry's Lap Time app if you have an iPhone (with enough storage of course ) http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Features.html

Very nice Rob , car sounds sweet and a great lap time although i do feel it has less to do with the car and more to do with the bloke driving

Cheers guys - yeah the ol' girl is doing good! Always a pleasure to drive, but being put up for a while now to turn it from track- day -nail into a wedding- limo- of -distinction for my daughter. Can feel a front clam respray coming on.
