Yep - that M5 was probably the fastest thing there - it was catching and taking the BEC Avon all the time.

everything else, every lap.

It looks like a combination of it being well driven,and they are very quick on the straights,its probably the same guy who was at Cadwell when I was
last there,he give it beans down the straights so you could not get passed,then held you up through the corners, a equally well driven decent power
seven should be a few seconds a lap quicker round croft than a big barge M5.

Oops, forgot too say just editing my footage.
There's not much of your Civic - only when it flies past!
Are you using a standard DV cam as the quality is very good.

Standard mini DV camcorder, Sony..
White Intergra is a mate, and yes, it's usually nessessarry to force a way past. In that last clip, Pete was actually passengering with him.
He said it was weird seeing me in his car passing him! 
Paul, Cleo is the future! I could hang on to him quite easily, apart from the run up to and out of the hairpin. Up to the hairpin I should have
been down to second, and out of the hairpin the Cleo's sequencial (I think...) box worked better.
BM driver... well, frustration got the better of him I suppose.. I our group there were two desperately slow cars, and they tended to bunch loads of
cars up behind them.

There's a brilliant quote on one of my tapes.
I asked Tom what was the radical doing.
He said it must be broken.
I said definately, it had just used a brake light!
Anyway, a couple of clips for starters:

Mostly Tom on the vid, but I had the big "off" in the morning. Fortunately the camera wasn't working!
Just editing a really long one where Tom had a full session of really good quick consistant laps.
Started behind you as well and you disappeared pretty quick.
Roll on xmas when I get the Turbo fitted - that should put me upto aboout 185 bhp and a lot more torque to try and keep up!

Should go well, looking at your in car vid. ...then you'll want better brakes, tyres, cage, etc etc....

Already got the half cage.
Tyres are awesome - not quite 888's, but work better in the wet (just not on slippy Croft!).
Brakes are already done - big grooved and vented discs and ceramic pads.
That and the P5 coilvers, poly bushes and all the bracing......
Only thing left to do is the turbo.....
Just uploading that vid now.

yep, all the wobbly ones are me but from what i can remember, they're all from the second session just after it'd rained and we'd
adjusted the shocks up and running 10 clicks front and back. was suffering quite a lot of understeer but with the rear dampers knocked down a click we
were back on the money.
the running gear's begging for a turbo!
