... For being the first person to spin :bowtie:

:shout: Trackdemon You have the pics :D

Thanks to paul for not staining the seat on that run :hehe:

Hopefully those who wanted (probably not anymore) passenger runs got them if not next time :D

And hopefully you all enjoyed the noise :smokin:

I think me and the Esprit had a lot of Sympathy for each other as i spun on the way out of Bottom bend when i ran out of power whilst on oversteer and he then spun it on the last right hander - Ask slinky about our monumentous spin at the last righthander as well

The AMD Ruf had a big moment down there, and then it went home!

Good fun i think espesially as the Eprit wasnt mine and the owner was stood there blissfully unaware of what was going on! what a top man though for lending me his car for the day as the scooby was tyreless.

I had a huge spin on the botton corner which was captured perfectly by a bloke with a video camera standing about 20 metres away.

Looking forward to seeing it on Pistonheads TV soon

Oggs, I beleive RudeGirl owns the 'first person to spin' award.

Without wishing to give anything away....we'd barely entered Bruntingthorpe, and the first car hadn't yet gone down the runway

It was surely just TOO hot for those sorts of shenanigans wasn't it?

Certainly did capture that. Looked pretty well controlled from my position. If you'd rather I didn't post it, just let me know, and I'll send it to you personally.

There's some great stuff on the video, and some fantastic sounds. Will work on the vid tonight, maybe even finish it. It'll be a quickie, as there's no need for any music to be added. Its just a montage of clips, so a very basic vid that does the job of showing the cars performs.

Great stuff...

Steve, did you take any still stuff, or just video?

Good to see you again - great number plate BTW.

Hi Greg,

Only about 20 stills, during lunch time. Thought I'd leave it for Trackdemon, as he seemed to be doing a mighty fine job of it.

And as there was no one else videoing around the track, I felt I ought to do the business.

Thanks again for breakfast, your hospitality....and what a fine wagon you have

Another first achieved at Vmax - My first Vmax spin. I musn't have been trying hard enough at previous events

Done at the last right hander, cocked up by not lifting early enough to generate the lift off oversteer so when I finally got around to it I ran out of track and went grass cutting...
