KH lap times

Careful with Mcintyres - it will put you off cam in Third and its easy to buzz the engine if you try and drop to 2nd. (not that I'd know

)

In to Duffus, flat out in 3rd 2nd cam to Mcintyres.

One thing I learnt from lapping with Ali though, was that smoothness could help just as much as trying to get every last ounce out of the engine. (still owe you that footage from chasing you round KH Ali!)

The chicane was quite different line wise on saturday once a friendly Evo took out the left handside cone for us! Funniest bit being George in the Atom taking more Grass on the left that the 4wd crew

I am honestly

I'm into 2nd cam but not absolutely flat trying to be smooth, opportunity for improvement as they say

I'll try the launch technique over the chicane next time as well

I have experimented with McIntyres in 2nd, but as Andy says it is not worth it for the risk of buzzing the engine and it also seems better keeping it smooth and leaving it in third. I am also off cam in third going through the chicane, but perhaps that is just me - I have always hated the KH chicane and never seem to get it right. You seem to have to batter the car over the kerbs if you want to take it quickly and to me it just breaks up the flow of the circuit. I am hoping the reflashed ECU will help staying on cam on track, but only had it on road so far (where it is fab

)

I drive my aeroscreened Caterham from Aberdeen to Knockhill each time, no trailer, no spare wheels, basic tools. Drive on road tyres and drive home every time.

Stoopid but great fun.
Ditto but Dundee (apart from the one time I trailered, and it was more hassle than it was worth... )

My times?

Not sure, somewhere in the high 50s (low 50s if I take the shortcut shown in the gallery section ) - but then I go for sideways fun more than top times
And what about trips to the far North of Scotland or to Europe for a blast? Would you drive then?

YES!

SWMBO and I have had 2 fortnight-long Alpine camping tours in '05 & '06. No problemo

Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Stelvio + most other passes, 'Ring visit... ~3000 miles of blatting each time.

Would I bollocks

East Fortune & Teesside Autodrome were both worthy trailer trashers

I normally trailer trash cause it takes ten minutes to dump car on trailer and shove big box of track day guff in the back of landy.

The tyres are stored n the trailer so i have 48s for the dry and 21s for the wet

Aye, plus you're another hour north, therefore making it worthwhile

My trailer has no tyre rack, so it involves cramming everything plus tools etc into the boot of the Uberbarge etc
