A quick vid of me following Andy's GT3 (or attempting to) worth noting him slightly overcooking it at the hairpin 52 secs in!

I was being accompanied by Mass at the time, in case you were wondering where the Japanese commentary was coming from!!

thanks for the welcome and also for the heads up for another session. how are those days? much the same format and outlook as the one yesterday?
it was refreshing not having everyone for the most part treat it like they were auditioning for ecclestone but clearly still driving hard.

i might have a mapping clash for that week but ill see if i can push it back some and get the car out again. it really needs some more tracktime as i figure out how to get the best compromise with it. since im working backwards from a fixed point thats no longer applicable its been a bit of an unknown. clearly im going to have to wind it down alot further than i expected as i wasnt even anywhere close yesterday. it had no grip whatsoever. i was the slowest car there through the sector from corner 1 to the chicane. i couldnt carry any more at all through that first corner and the next sequence was then just a trundle.
having a ton of lotus wasnt helping either
those things grip forever and i was swarmed by the chicane almost everytime. sorry guys if it was frustrating. i tried to keep as out of the way as much as i could but i didnt want to come off until i'd atleast had a chance to have a proper think. i tried to not hit corner 1 without being pretty clear behind so as to not spoil your fun through that section but you guys were eating the distance rapidly no matter how i tried to place myself.

scotty, it was yourself i was most thinking of though a few others took detours also and sometimes the depth of the headaches its caused isnt obvious at first. hopefully its cosmetic and an ok fix, though they often end up more expensive than mechanical issues by the time you get things repainted. thats hardcore driving that all the way up and over glenshee. nice!!!

i was there spectating as my cars at MMC (im in the video at the haripin under the shelter ), some impressive driving by everyone although it started bad with several red flags after 2 or 3 laps. R8 ATG was also impressive enroute to the KH

Hahaha! Git!

And you never caught what caused me to fish tail either (fully, fully sideways then onto the wet exit kerb)

I LOVE that GT3 - what a laugh - at least till I have to replace the tyres an brakes anyway

Peters popped up a clip on Facebook - never realised whta noise my car makes - awesome.

Was a good day till the last session where I heard something rattle off the bottom of the car, me and Scib just thought it was a stone or something, next lap round notice a bolt at the top of duffers, do another 10 odd of laps, think nothing off it and come in to the car park. Put the wheel on full lock to see the nick of front tyres and pax wheel collapsed against the inner arch, turns out the bolt was one of two that holds the bottom of my suspension to the hub

Very ***** lucky it happened in the car park at 0 miles an hour. No damage done, just scrapped a bit of plastic trim.

Now if only I could get this much neg camber with the wheel being able to turn

[Scotty C]

fook me your lucky

[Andy G]

caused by your Scandinavian Flick line perhaps?

Lucky man!

[corbie]

yes very lucky,

I only tried that line once Andy was the pressure of getting hunted down by Gt3

[Mike Scib]

I did tell you to pull in to check

Andy, cheers for the pax laps, very impressive as always
