Snetterton 6th March

[DuncanR]

In all my sessions best I could Vmax was 3 @ 127 mph and 1 @ 126, and Jim only got 128 mph...like I said Shim, yours gets away down the straight quicker in a drag race, hence the 135 mph , and its not that im coming out of the corner with a slower exit speed...maybe I need a new engine !!:hahaha: ... good lap time ... that would be the one when there was no other fooker out wouldnt it !!!????:whistle:

Evening Boys,

just unpacked and plugged the little camera to download the few vids I took.. results....
vmax - god knows
best corner - none of em
theoretical best time - not as fast as Shimmy

Matt, I had to laugh at Dunc," there's canvas then steel so Im still good to go" :119::119::119::smt018

Made me feel a right girls blouse when I spotted Dunc heading off out on those again, I was 'surely you aren't going out again in them???':bigcry: big cahoonas mate

especially for letting a monkey out in your car with no auto-smg-wtf-rwd experience for years!

Right Lawsy what you been waiting for.

I banged out a 2:17 on the hankooks-of-win.

Not sure if everyone changed to slicks/cups in the afternoon or just get progressively better; in the morning I was doing the catching/passing and then in the afternoon it was all I could do to maintain a following distance.

Give me some cups or slicks and wow - it'll be an 'off' of spectacular proportions ;-)

Fantastic circuit though, truly epic. No need to trek to silverstone any more, this is just as good.

my vmax down the main straight was 128 also. Right enough Shimmy's motor does seem to have a bit of extra pull as he passed me on the straight without any lifting required. Whats the secret eh ;-)

Motor not faster, Oneills was as quick as mine, it was just making sure you take the corner onto the straight at optimum speed to get best top speed and braking very late under the bridge for the Esses

It was just noticeable that Duncan and Titan on some corners chose to go in fast but just means that you come out slower. Now sometimes it can be the right choice but when you have a long straight you are gonna loose out.

My driver of the day was Oneill. He was very quick even though he has has had the car a few weeks and his first CSL Trackday. It took me some effort to break his tail and I think give him another shot and some full Cups and suspension and I won't be able to.:bigcry:Let's just hope he doesn't keep talking about S2000s :smokin:
