Scott, not doing this one :(

Have fun, it's a good test session for you and Fee.

It'll be my first time out on my own tomorrow night. Had my instructor training day about a month ago so lets see what I can remember.

If you see a red VX on track then it'd be a wise move to stay well clear! :oops:

Thanks Mass. They are doing a ta session at the hot hatch day before ta Knockhill.I'll prob not do much running as I don't really want to be teaching everyone else my lines at Knockhill !

I'm also testing my new brakes.picked up some ap 6 pots after the problems at oulton.

Gb- your more than welcome to sit in with me tomorrow night.although, my lines in a 4wd car will prob be a bit aggressive for a rwd.

6 pots sounds good. I plan to go to KH on the 16th to give you and Fee the moral support.

What's your target time on the 16th?

If they are anything like Big D's it could be the kerbage that will be the biggest difference. Around the Ring it was hilarious :damnfunny :cheers

Thanks for that..... might take you up on that! :thumbsup :cheers

My lines on my instructor day were pretty aggressive and not the "mechanically friendly" route that people have mentioned on here :lol: but my line into the hairpin is awful and I have a feeling that my gonads might have shrunk a little without someone who knows what they are talking about telling me to cut in tighter and power down earlier.

If it's raining then I'll be taking it super easy. :tired

We only have a T200 lap timer but we'll borrow a racelogic performance box for the 16th.

Her best from TA in 2009 was a 58.3 i think.

Mass - Im aiming for the 56.x as well. Looks like we will need to be putting in a low 56 to get on the poduim.

Good night at Knockhill last night. New brakes felt good. Adam and Fee did a great job of keeping the bad weather at bay 8:05 I could have done with 5 more dry minutes to get the car packed away
