Don't try this at a track near you !!!!!!

Promising Debbie a go in my Tuscan seamed like a good idea at the time.So off we went last saturday to Castle Combe for an open pit lane trackday.She now holds the record by some margin for the slowest lap of Castle Combe and blamed me for shouting in her ear.Picture of the car and a link to the video below.....




And the link to the video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_zITvLIYXw bare with it as it takes a little time for how slow we are going to sink in and i like the near relationship breaking last few minutes with the off track debrief.

Made me chuckle.
Textbook driving instructor calmness and quite acceptable first timer Tuscan piloting..
Until 13:01 where it goes all Reg Presley for a minute, and ends with a rather waspish final word from Perry .

Now that made me laugh

[NTEL]

Debbie did great! She's quicker than me around combe...... . You're just a big bully Perry!

That did make me laugh, but in all fairness, she didn't do too bad for a first timer. Reminds me when my other half drove my Chim down the road at about 5mph, the only time I have let her drive it!

Is she still your girlfriend? As for braking in the corners at those speeds it hardly makes much difference. One point though you took her straight onto the racing line from the paddock exit, give the girl a chance and every track day I've been on has been overtake on the left only but then CC do everything arse about face don't they although you'd have done better sending her out with an instructor first time.

This is how i was hoping she would have done it I went for a play.......

Haha, I preferred the one where she abuses you. You're a wuss, you lift at the end of Avon Rise, haven't you heard of braking after the kink As for the overtaking on the left, 3min 03secs, overtaking between two cars at Quarry.

Fair play to Debs mate,

Never gonna be easy getting your head around driving a car you are unfamilier with...and in such a challenging (no pun intended!) environment...

Just showed Ginny this clip....set the seed for the future
