GTI v GTD

[simonpolly]

If I was on my own, I'd keep going all day long without stopping.

I'm with dubber on this...

I've done many of these trips over the years - normally coming back from holiday in Europe somewhere and opting to stay for an extra day and then drive back home stopping only when fuel is required...

Tiredness kills take a break now

I'm still here 

I've done plenty of endurance racing (in karts) so I know the effects that tiredness can have... in most circumstances those trips involved two drivers. Just because you're not stopping for refreshment on these trips doesn't mean that you're not drinking/eating...

One of the best, I did by myself, in my first Integra Type-R from Cpoenhagen to Hook of Holland (non stop apart from fuel and the 45 minute ferry crossing from Puttgarten to Rodbyhaven... It was the first time I hit the rev limiter in 5th gear (top) in that car on a stretch of Autobahn... 149.8mph (based on the gearing and the where the rev limiter was set) at 8,500 rpm ... a normally aspirated 1.8

Just over 500 miles in just over 7 hours... I think I stopped once...

Or another slurp of Red Bull.

The racing circuit at Knockhill? 

Yes. To see the touring cars.

Always fancied a trip to knockers to see the BTCC, how long did that take you? Oulton park is only 20 miles for me, wondering if members use these opportunities for 'meets' ?

Around 6 hours in the very early hours. My route takes me up the A49, past the turn for Oulton Park, and at that time of day, that's an hour from me, so you ought to do it in 5ish quite easily.

I will definitely be at Oulton in June. We use the Shaws entrance and set up camp just up from Knickerbook by the toilets.

Everyone has their reasons - e.g. Ginagee doesn't even get hers hot (well except at the weekends)

Erh?

Actually, I really do fancy a go at Run What You Brung at York Raceway this year… if anyone's up for that?

Do you know why the corner knickerbrook is named so?

[GTI7me]

I prefer corners. Track day at Oulton Park anyone?

No idea? I assumed it would be something to do with the little stream that runs under the track at the bottom of Clay Hill.
