some nice shots there.

It was a superb day with tons of tracktime. Almost too quiet really. Don't understand why so few were there.

Pity the only shot you got of my car was when my friend was driving it !!

Yep, four supercharged cars and one twin turbo

Was a great day out and a real shame so few TVRCC members signed up for this, as its unlikely we'll see it on the calender next year with the financial loss the club made.

Too right it's a shame, especially when people complain about shared trackdays.
Don't get me wrong, I love the friendly TVR only days but as you rightly say, they may not be around much longer if not supported

All that said, I had a brilliant days fun. Ive never done so many miles (or so much fuel )on a track day before.

Thanks to Andy, the chaps at SC Power and everyone else involved for a great days entertainment.

Snetterton is not the easiest place to get to and notice was short for people that needed to arrange time off. Nor is it the most entertaining circuit in the UK (IMHO).

If the club are doing TVR only days they need to be smarter with their advertising, and consider the times they are arranged. Snett was a classic - we are in prime holiday time with many folk away.

All that said, glad you all enjoyed it.

It's alright if you can keep it like that. The trouble is whenever I get to that point the next thing I see is where i've just come from

27 Cliff JOBSON TVR T350R
1 - 1:21.281 + 3.661 18:11:22.656
2 - 1:25.304 + 7.684 18:12:47.960
3 - 1:17.620 18:14:05.580
4 - 1:18.548 + 0.928 18:15:24.128
5 - 1:31.449 + 13.829 18:16:55.577
6 - 1:23.523 + 5.903 18:18:19.100
7 - 1:17.806 + 0.186 18:19:36.906
8 - 1:31.107 + 13.487 18:21:08.013
9 - 1:18.723 + 1.103 18:22:26.736


So thats why the T350R lap times are all over the lolly pop, your show boating.

1:31.107

1:17.620

All joking apart, considering the engine they are generally fantastic times. Your wings must be working well because I guess your not making them times down the straights.

Those look a lot like our Snett qually times to me. If they are then the tyres are at their best on laps 3 and 4 which is when ideally you need your good one. The slow ones are obviously laps to cool off the tyres before having another go.

The T350R was about 20mph slower down the straights than the AJP8 Cerb so I guess the times weren't too bad.

Yes Ceejay they are the qually times. I did not want to put the lap chart up because after lap 10 you fell off the radar, But like I said very good times for a winged T car.

[ceejay]

After lap 10 everyone fell of the radar........qually was over!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did a 1:16.716 in race 1

P.S. sideways pic is from Anglesey this weekend, lap 5 on a circuit I'd never seen before! You have to push when you only have 15 mins qually.

Yes I did see that, a great time with an average speed of 89.58 mph. I was referring to race 1 after lap 10, you seemed to ease up quite lot, hope everything was OK.
