Donington 2nd July
Discussion
Had a good day. Frightened Calum Lockie with 115mph sideways moment in the second part of Craners - Twice! He seemed amazed at quite how good the csl was.
Had a good dice with a GT3RS...was the only other road car there being driven near the limit! The csl rooolz though!
360CS - pah! slow!

Is that 115mph into the old hairpin i.e. after turning in at craners? and an indicated 115mph or a datalogger/gps 115mph?
Not doubting just genuinely interested to know (was there on Monday again - is Donington the best track in the UK!)

It was the second craner (the left) just after turn in...The speed was told to me by Calum who was looking at the speedo as the slide happened.
He showed me a very tidy line through Redgate and how to take the chicane better. Well worth getting a good driver like him to show you the nuances that save tenths of a second etc..
Donington is good (especially on a bike) and certainly the best spectator track in the UK, but the Brands GP circuit is currently my love.

phatgixer have you had problems with the braking on the CSL or are you running with the standard kit? Assuming you are running the Cup tyres - are you impressed and are they as lethal in the wet as some would have us believe?
I have ugraded the brakes to AP 6 pots front and 4 pot rear, braided hoses, GP5000pro disks, running road/racing fluid and Pagid RS19 Yellow pads. Now they last more than a morning, as the std OEM stuff was rubbish.
Cups are fine in the wet except where there is standing water. They are a bit scary then!
