It has ballistic pace as well, still surprised at how effortlessly it drove round most of the casr out there.

BTW I'm the second drive with the full face helmet.

Great vid, james. What sort of camera mount are you using?

[madmatt1985]

I forgot to check PH to see if anyone else was going snet. i was the orange ST and my mate was the red RX7. Was a good day, looks like you had a good day(few spins). i think i recall following you for a lap. ill have to check my vids to see if i got anything of your car. i recall thinking to myself how well you Golf went. Nice vids btw

If anyone is thinking about cameras try the lumix TZ5. snet was my first track day using it. The vids are even good on my 42" tv and i didnt even use the 720hd setting(30fps). only down side was on 16 by 9 at 10FPS (that i used) it comes to around a gig for 15mins on track.

As for mounts try www.fastfilms.co.uk iv got a few mounts from them and they all top kit.

Yew your st went really well followed you round for the first session out in the morning.Really tricky for my car on track tyres lol
afternoon session was great.Your mates rx looked the nuts
and went well too

[madmatt1985]

funny one was when he past the aston martin on the pit strait. LOL. On hi boost he is running 550+ at the weels. kinda makes it no fun for use on the straits LOL

im shore i must have some footage of your car. would u like a copy of my vids?

[james28]

yes it sounded well
mu mk1 golf is a 2.l 16v
very surprised how well it went
i think in the afternoon session the only thing to come past me were the aston and a caterham although i picked my slot well
and post your vid up im sure you will have me in the first morning session

drop me a email mate to [e-mail] im happy to post the vids but they are just to big to upload. they are a gig each LOL

[pw75]

yeah, was a good day. Pretty slippy early on, not necessarily good for running a new car in. Still had some fun. Diesel bimmer covered the camera with oil deposits which I didn't notice until the trip home. Bummer.

hi james, glad you and your mate had a good day, i was the guy in the R34 that was sharing the garage with you, i had a blinding day apart from the last half hour when i blew the oil seals on my turbos, first time out with 888's loving them, good vids by the way, took my brothers video camera with me but couldn't get the thing to work.
madmatt,hi, any chance i could get a copy of the vids you took to [e-mail] , would be good to see if you got any of me and your mate in the RX7 having a little battle, love the look of his car.
cheers

I love the fact that the Aston ???N24???, a seriously rich bit of kit, wasn't that much faster!! Well not £100K+ faster!!! Track days are great aren't they!!?

[madmatt1985]

Hi LuckyP, I popped up in the afternoon to check out, aston arrived in own pampered camper trailer and yes, they certainly are a great leveler!!
