I think after driving many laps around cadwell in BEC's and now the Clio,there would not be alot in it,but when wet a well driven BEC should be
quicker than a 172 Clio,but the level of driver skill to pedal the BEC around quicker than the Clio,would need to be far greater,as AndyD says the FWD
cars are more predictable in the wet,they tend to go into understeer,but as you know the BEC's go into oversteer which is alot harder to
control,while still keeping the car moving forward at the same time.

back now on a dry day,Ive no doubt then you will be putting in some quick lap times
Cheers Paul. Only think I wasn't sure about my lines is coming out of Chris (ooo err!) I tend to drift out slowly towards the outside in time
for the turn in for the gooseneck, whereas a lot of other videos I've watched, yours included hug the inside and then go towards the outside
near the end of chris before the next turn-in. I guess that's the quicker way because it's a long opening turn so I'll give it a go
next time.
Desperate to do a dry day there though. When it's even slightly damp and due to the priximity of hard things to hit, I'm braking waaay
too early and gently for corners. I just need a good run on dry track to practice having some balls to attack

Yes Simon,I always think chris's curve is a difficult one with it being such a long and fast corner,if you don't get it right a lot of
time can be lost,but I think so long as you get right over to the left as you did before the goose neck,you can't go far wrong,but it sounds
like you have caught the Cadwell bug you will not be able to leave it alone now

Yes you will have to get yourself down to Cadwell,best circuit Ive driven and I never get bored of it
Steve took me out in the S2000 Indy R,what a car,they are a cracking engine,dare I say car engines could be the future you know,it was his 1st time on
circuit with it,but we were hitting some incredible speeds down the straights

Thought i may as well put a video up of my spin
Adi's appears at the begining, and the rest of time is spent waiting for the orange Mnr to move over
why you shouldn't ride the Kerbs in the wet
and here's another video when things were a little drier, the track still greasy through the woodland section though.

No, we're the nobs. Not sure why he gets all excited when the Atom passes him, I wonder if there were hand signs from the Atom too.

Cheers, Chris! First you mug me in a clio...then you show the whole world!
Boy, was I slow at first. At least the speed was a bit more respectable in the afternoon (well most of it) but of course, nobody has footage of
that.

There's a clip of your car going well through Hall bends, from the outside at the end of our vid. Posted it up a few pages ago, but I think
it's got lost.
