Was anyone here doing the VMAX run at Bruntingthorpe this weekend just gone in a yellow GT3?

I was doing the track-club day in the caterhams and saw you limp out with what sounded like a dropped cylinder.

What happened? How bad was it?

Yes, I kept slowing down so the GT3 could try to catch up....

Regads Mark.

For my part I was 'winding' Pikey up.[Saturday, Sunday] I was at home thinking of ways of how not to embarrass Porsche Ferrari etc,with the excess speed of the SL....

Mark, I'm sure modesty will prevent you from excess frothage but what exactly is your loon mobile doing power/torque-wise?

Why did you not consider an AMG mobile as a base car from which to launch your assault on Mach 2?

I'm starting to think this is an "in" joke I'm not in on

Dunno who was organising the VMAX day. I was on a track-club day which was seperate (apart from sharing a parallel bit of tarmac) so couldn't answer
