Had the chance to upload the vid from Stu's 2-Eleven - I didn't tighten the mount properly in my rush to fit it, so apologies for the rear view mirror making an appearance as the video goes on...

Watch on YouTube

720p (and 1080p) version is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMiwhNKoXys&hd=1

Big D features for a couple of minutes, having some drifting fun from 05:25 -> 07:17.... :thumbsup

The track was about empty by that time, most had bailed out as it was so wet and slippy.

Great fun, looks like i was miles away from D when I was watching his drifting antics, .....fun ;-)

Wait till you see mine Tut!

Pissing rain & hail if you'd like - Sun came out in the morning, then vanished at lunch and the heavens opened on and off all afternoon. Bloody magic fun, but focused the mind a bit.

I also have video of me spinning in the Chiacane after the Shell Hairpin - instant full opposite lock, and its still flew round - the eagle eyed amongst you will notice the slippy surface flags on approach - they werent kidding! :damnfunny

To a point. :oops:

Oulton is my local circuit, I'm usually hanging around there camera in hand (whatever the weather !). I think I managed to snap one or two of you on here on the day and have uploaded some pics to my website for anyone interested (they are in the recent trackday gallery).

Admin, hope posting the link is OK, if not, I'm happy to remove it.

Took this at the infamous Druids on the day, no damage but picked up plenty of gravel :wink:
