Richard, forever the voice of reason,What did he do wrong?Getting out of bed that morning springs to mind :wink:
Looking at the footage he eased off to much and the momentum just took the car, My point visa ve PSM, is that would have jumped in at that point to help (even if it was off), and possibly saved the result.Daz.


aye, PSM et al would have saved him...

but as in my earlier post, at that point in the circuit you have to balance the car, which is done it a slight dab on the brakes due to the dip in the road... note the blue car before

this charlie went for it, difficult to tell if he eased off, but the dip in the roadat that point is somewhat the critical piece that you can't avoid and then found that in a car with no devices to help, he just had a lesson in the laws of physics !

So Sundeep care to confess your best lap time? :wink:

Did Sabine pass you in a van perchance?

I swing between really wanting to give it a go and thinking I'll crash and burn!

Maybe I should go and just see if Sabine wants a beer in a local bar!?




I am no driving god, only just an intermediate on track days...

I was lapping a solid 9'30'ish but wasn't pushing flat out on the flat bits and tried to give myself space but IIRC my 1st lap in the rain was somewhere about 14 minutes ! and even sub 10's was only on the 2nd day after a lot of laps !

but lap times ain't what I was doing at that place, but yes as soon as the lap finished you want to know how quick you are....

but for the 13 miles before the ring is the stuff of legends, epic and the most scary track place on earth in one go !

for a driver, it's worth a go, whether you drive on the right slowly hazzards flashing all the way or not ! I'll be there in May as part of the Spa trip and hope to return in July as part of a semi-planed PCGB trip, so why don't you come along in July !



Servo. . . you around in Europe in July ?
