Shimmy, you seem to have a better top end speed than most CSL's.

I remember at Silverstone you pulled away on the straights, Dunc said the same at Donny but corner speed was the same in the 3 way train.

Must have been a good one from BMW

[s.mac]

Nice one Terry :thumbs:

[DuncanR]

I have to agree with Sy, i dont think youll see much better than 1m18s in a CSL round Donny without slicks or downforce

I did a 1:17 in limp mode !!:whistle:


















Well ... pit lane to Old Hairpin anyway !

[83SY]

s.mac and Sy - will take you both out next time - no worries - Sy - sorry never got to see you again after chatting first thing in the morning

Thanks Terry. Car looked the business mate :thumbs:

[83SY]

I know what you are saying Sy , but he is pretty well respected and even better I dont pay

Each and every driver, whoever they are, have their own techniques and views, just like this forum :-D

If it's free and it helps happy days artyman:

I think even at the highest level different drivers will have different lines, braking points and turn ins but be within a tenth on the overall lap time. Then it comes down to race craft (overtaking) and size of testicles! Or in J.Platos case strength of front bumper :hahaha:

Hello all. Sorry for late reply but seem to have much less time to get on here there days.

Great day.............once I got there. Pissed to miss the :beern Thursday night but as some of you know I had an amber engine light come on so stayed home to nip in and see Ant/Jules at Simpson MS in the morning. I changed all coil packs and lambda sensors only a few weeks ago thinking I was doing the right thing and one of the new lambda's played up! Got the old one back in while I helped Jules unload the transporter from there test day on Thursday and got on my way @10.45.

Shimmy called me with Dunc woes, so I picked up a couple of spare lambda to bring with me.

Great to see everyone again. Eventually got on track after lunch and enjoyed a few laps. Good fun with Shimmy and Dunc in horrendous traffic.

Did my front pads by 4pm so changed them only to find a destroyed thread for the O/S front AP pad retaining bolt!:moan:So that was day over but managed to do a bodge repair (thanks for assistance Dunc :beer: ) to get me home fine. Best bit was Yanto watching me change the pads say "Ah, that's much easier than I thought". He wasn't saying that when I'd switched to the other side and discovered my issue!:hahaha:

Cheers for laps Stu. That thing pulls like a train!:supz: Sorry not to meet all the new boys but I ran out of time only getting there @12pm. Have to meet Sy and everyone another time. And yes Sy, Lawsy does have one arm................................but it's a great big fuck off huge one and I reckon that counts as two, so lets call it even.:wink: Great laps by the way. I see you were on fire! I see Shim has already started to trawl through the data. He must be worried.:wink:

As usual, good to see Shim, Dunc, Jim, Yanto, Barry, Stu, Mark, Derek, Brett and everyone else I haven't mentioned.

Looking forward to the next one already.artyman:

Oh and yes, my Intrax have 120/60's.
