Anyone up for this?

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Can't make this one :(
I'm planned to be working... & even if I'm not working, I've got a load of stuff to look out for holibags.
Plus.. technically the car is now sold, sooooo I don't think the new owner would be particularly happy if I took her for 1 last thrash :lol:
I have no signature.

It was nice weather, only mildly wet for 10 minutes.

Some drivers were pretty poor and we must have had 4 or 5 red flags.

Was real good to see Kev and Pete again.

Yeah - some pretty poor driving especially at the start with dodgy lines and drivers unwilling to pull over - and that rolling wheel / tyre on the chicane exit certainly added some variety - first time I've tried an approach to Clarks from the gravel trap :shock: Standards seemed to get better over the evening for some reason. Thanks for the pax laps Mass :thumbsup - very impressive, fantastic acceleration and grip - and the brakes seemed even more impressive ( I'll need to try pushing mine a bit harder / later :D )

Kev, the brakes were ok when I was paxing you around but it started to judder really badly when I was taking Tony. I guess as the track was drying up and I had done more laps. Not very confidence inspiring. It was the first time I tried the RS14 on the track and though it bites much harder than the RS42, I found they give out a lot more brake dust :shock:

When I inspected the disks, the holes were completely filled with the dust, rather like the stock Brembo pads :x

The higher temperature may be the cause of this??? I hope this will be cured but I doubt it. Anyone has a solution? I don't really want to go back to RS42 as the front pads were crumbling away when Ali took them out, suggesting the pads were over heating.
