Did a track day at Oulton on Wednesday, couple of videos here.

A few laps: -

Best lap time about 2:10, which I should be able to shave a few seconds off by: -

* Growing larger testes to carry more speed through Druids sand Old Hall
* Doing Druids properly - this was my first time in the dry and my brain was making me follow the wet track line, keeping out wide off the "rubber" then treating it as a single late-apex corner.
* Replacing my tyres with R888 or similar, unfortunately wifes redundancy means I can't justify at the moment

I nearly had an incident-free day, but on the last lap my exhaust collector came away from the downpipes and got scraped under the car for a full in-lap. Hoping my brother can weld it properly, otherwise I guess I've got the excuse I've wanted for ages to replace with a stainless system - not great timing money wise though!

Cracking day though, and I look a bit like a swan-vesta now due to the lack of sun cream!

Good Vids Si, are you doing cadwell on the 7th July?

What's happened to the video overlay?

Great video's,looks like you had nice weather,I don't think Ive ever been to Oulton Park when its not been cold or raining,and I can't believe you have still got those Marangoni tyres on, you had them on last time I saw you at Teeside autodrome,that was over 2 years ago,well at least you have got your moneys worth out of them.
You will have to be quick if you want to book on the Cadwell with us all on the 7th of July,there's only 4 places left
Me and Chris are also booked on Oulton Park on the 4th of August again with Easytrack,still plenty of places available on that one.

Cracking vids Si, car sounds superb. Got to agree with Paul, you need to get some grippy rubber. You will fly!

Hoping and praying for an equally good day on the 15th.

Haven't watched the vids yet. Was it Island or International? What engine have you got in yours?

I assume its International @ 2:10?

~ 1:53 for RGB Class C is the time to aim for then. Best get them new tyres

good vids, wish i was joining andy there on the 15th now.
