great effort mate - its not too hard to learn. I only managed 5 laps and qualified 5th in class last year!

I take it by the first corner you mean Copse? Worth thinking about how the f1 cars takes that flat in 6th with no lift :shock: :thumbsup

Well done for making the final -sounds like some serious rough love was being dished out to the Evo :cheers

BigD,

Top Job sir, well done! Good looking at the placing sheet and just seeing you car without anything after it - showing you don't have a huge development budget and guys helping you out!

Dave :thumbsup

It's hard to imagine the F1's taking copse flat. :shock:

I just missed the apex a couple of times and ran right out over the green matting and onto the tarmac beyond on the exit. Probably quite a quick line. :lol: :lol:

Well another disappointing but fun none the less weekend. :lol:

Missed out on the final by one place, 16th in class. :x Mights still get a point or 2 though as there were a couple of one timers in there. 8)

The car was awesome, what a difference with it coming on boost much earlier. It was dragging me out of the corners rather than just cruising round then coming on boost after exiting. Felt really good. :D 8)

Never having done Brands I found it really easy to learn (this was the Indy circuit BTW). Great little track, I really enjoyed it. Couple of blind apex's, off camber corners etc. And at least 2 which I felt were better with really late apexes. Meant you were going in slower but coming out quicker as you could get the power on earlier. :D My first session out I managed a 55.5 and my quickest came in practise at 55.3. Then I got slower in the Qualy. What's that all about? :x

Maybe I should stop treating it like a track day. :lol: :lol: Should hopefully have a few choice moments on the video. :lol:

Anyways C'est la vie.
