We're there next weekend with the BARC , wont have time for Testing.
Going to try and learn the circuit in Qualifying.
An XR3 racing mate has given me a few pointers , but Circuit tips from TVR Racers, and any in car footage would be more helpfull thumbup.

Excellent Gary, thanks for that.
Just watched the vid from start to finish, great footage ceejay - this will be my "revision" for the next 6 days hehe..

A couple more questions.

1)Are there different circuit configs, if so which one were you guys racing on ?
2)There looks to be a few peaks and troughs, i imagine a Tivver can go "light" on a couple of the crests - is that so ?
3)What are the camping facilities like , have they got showers ?

Thanks.
Darren.

We were racing on the international circuit which has an additional straight and 180 hairpin. I'd have preferred the coastal which looks much better with a corkscrew instead.

The circuit undulates rather than steep gradient changes. The only exception is the VERY tight left hander into Rocket but you should have scrubbed off most of your speed by then otherwise you won't make the corner. If you don't test watch out for this one. I'd say the rest of the circuit is relatively easy to learn. I hadn't driven there before and put my best lap of the whole weekend in on lap 4 of qually (lots of head scratching going on!!!!)

Camping facilites are ok, plenty of grass at the end of the paddock and just behind.

Have fun, you'll love the track.

Hi Darren, i've just uploaded my own in car video as well. It gets a bit shakey down the back straight but i think you can get the gist of it. If you go to www.teamwrightracing.com its at the top of the videos section.

All the best and good luck

Ben
