That would be spot on mate, nice write up on the circuit aswell, out of a few I've done this year I really enjoyed Silverstone!

[_Nathan_]

We were there for the evening session but thanks to circuit days got on for a few laps at the end of the day session.

Wasn't on the case though, just shaking the car down and seeing what problems there were, circuit was mentally busy and failed wheel speed sensor meant no ABS which was interesting, few big lock ups on the new start finish straight before we got the pickup off the front tyres. Never driven any Silverstone configuration before and this has made me want to go back and do a test day on the national and GP circuits.

First ever time driving on race wets came in the evening session, just mental.

no hassle

CD nor Silverstone mentioned it other than no hand held

mine are clamped but Duncan had suckers on his front screen ,and neither of us had any issues.

What a cracking little layout the South Circuit is, had some lappery in Nathan's monster CSL.

Even on old slicks it has so much grip you can just mash the throttle at the apex and just launch out of the corners, turn in and front end grip are amazing too, it is the most balanced car I have ever driven.

Had a play on racing wets when it started raining and was blown away by how much grip it had, I would say it had as much grip in the rain as my Boxster does in the dry, a Dastun GTR tried to keep up and fell of the track trying :hahaha: - I may have got a little excited and pissed a few people off though as I ended up getting a bollocking from the organiser :whistle:

Thanks again to Nathan for trusting me with his P&J - need to find the budget to join him for a race this year :bigcry:

I have quite a decent vid, with me under instruction from Phil @ Circuit Days, gives turn in, and clipping points, also a lap following Shimmy which clearly demonstrated how the 4.1 diff can launch you out of the tight corners quicker, hence his 1:18, and the best I could manage, albeit with slight traffic was 1:23, so 5 secs, about 1/2 sec per corner.:banghead:

Sadly Jez, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have had to cancel Bedford on 26th mate, sorry and all that.

+ 1 Manny, the Cock level with regard to looking in mirrors, and letting faster cars past was in the high fookin nineties !! I may post a few clips, clearly showing the offenders number plates .... and clearly showing what I thought of 'em ! :banghead:
