There's definetaly a shade of skywaker to Walshy's Yoda - the big 'ane even picking up on the kind of suspension the car had from the first few laps.

By the time Neil had hopped out (considerably later than he'd intended) the lap times were falling and the grin was huge - I can't remember the last time I had so much fun on track. Shame I tagged the tyres at the chicane later on :lol:

All in all, an experience everyone on here should go through. If you've done a Walshy day, this is the perfect track-based complement to that knowledge.


Greg, you improved leaps and bounds in the short time we had. I was very chuffed with myself to be able to give you a few pointers, and watch you make all the improvements. Alot of the teaching, is just making you realise what is happening, so that you can recognise the signs, and adjust your driving to suit.

Another big thumbs up from me Neil :thumbsup

Really enjoyed yesterday mate was a great help, "MUST BRAKE HARDER" still can't quite get it right as it mucks up my heel and toeing which i was only just getting right :roll: But the few times i got close to getting it right going into the hair-pin using my normal braking point i was having to accelerate again to get to he corner :lol:

The only negative, Neil driving my car faster than me :evil:

I will post up the video footage of Neil teaching me later :P :wink: (Only joking)

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:
