Croft videos

Did a trackday at Croft on Friday with Lotus on track. There were a little buch of sevens there, two Westys, and three Caterhams. Plus a couple of Atoms, and of course loads of Loti.

First vid, just a few laps, me at the helm, trying hard when a pal in the R500 lets me past and tries to hang on. Did I say try! I came to an abrupt end when we came across a spinner. I got stopped, R500 went straight on behind me.



Next, another mate in an orange Westy (ST170) chasing my car, with my lad driving:

Part2


Another pal in a Caterham R400:



And finally a mate in an R500D 260bhp duratec. (a bit nippy)

I've done Croft a couple of times on the bike - enjoyed it once I got used to the surface !

Here's another, my son, my car, following Paul Donkin's Atom cup car. With the help of traffic he just about stays with him.

(My poor old car! )

It is a bit bumpy in places, and I found it difficult keeping vision with my glasses rattling about a bit. I think I need some lighweight ones, or an elastic band to keep them in place!

The R500 sounds well, and who needs to spend £35k+ on a Atom, when all you need is a Pinto powered Westy, and although your Pete did get a bit of help with traffic, I think he was still a bit quicker in the corners

Kind words Paul, but I think the Atom had the edge. There's a vid from the Atom somewhere on facebook? I'm not a f/booker.. but it'll be under Paul Donkin.. if it's searchable??

pete's going quite well there considering he was complaining about the brakes being crap

He moans on a lot about my car, but he knows how to make it go.

Ross has put up a vid with you on board, he's going well against the Atom considering the ballast.
