5 or 6 red flagged sessions cut down the track time which was a shame

How many?!  What were they caused by - that's a lot of flagged sessions!
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

1 Caterham off into the barriers
1 Lotus Elise on fire
1 928 Dropping oil all over the circuit

Can't remember the others, but yeah it was a lot.

Here's my off at Old Paddock, quality is rubish as I saved it wrong but I'm currently re-doing it and will upload a better version tomorrow.

Bl**dy good trackday at Combe on Friday, just got back home after making a weekend away of it.

Nice to meet you again "Horney from the tinternet" and Mark.

Some good photo's from Mike W who is one of my mates so thats why there's a few of me.

Managed to boil the brake fluid after the penultimate session so on the last session they were very spongy. Still very spongy on the way home today. That was brand new Racing Blue fluid before the trackday so might not have bled them thoroughly enough but then I would have thought it would have shown up earlier.

Not looked at my vids yet but will put some up if there's anything interesting.

Horneys car sounds very relaxed in his vids compared to mine but it goes bloody well. Horney what gear were you changing up into at the chequered flag area on the pit straight?

8v vs 16v, you haz more revz than me :grin:

That'll be me shifting to 5th around the start/finish line. I got braver as the day went on and hung onto the revs a bit longer but the camera ran out of batteries before then.

That explains the gear shift at the start/finish line then. I can only just get into 5th on a good solo lap just before the braking at Avon Rise but it isn't usually worth the hassle of changing gear, it just starts to hit the limiter for a second in 4th.
