Don't think I can make this one....... :(

It would have been so much fun with a few similar spec Cats :thumbsup

A quick report:

Perfect weather made for an extremely busy night and it was marred by many red flags and I only managed three sessions and less than 40 mins running. Disappointing :( . The driving standards were good, but the wide mix of car types and speeds made for some frustrating periods which showed at times. I never really got a clear run and oil spilt from the chicane to pit lane put an end to any good times. Bring back Hot Marques - this new format is too much of a mixed bag :blackeye

I've been playing with the Video VBox - some new features including a maths channel for gear selection . . . . .

great night last night - LOVING the R400 on track, and still have a way to go to get the braking right. Trying to see the new curbs in the low evening sun was "interesting" from the deck in the 7 coming through the chicane.

SO different to the way the Atom felt, and it was holding on to an SC Atom up the straight, although i suspect that might have been more due to my increased entry speed on to the straight, as it should have left me standing.

Great to see Mads up there - was reeling in the CS and loving watching it drift, when yet another red flag appeared to halt play - rubbish.

Stunning night though - a few more of these are exactly what the Dr ordered.

Great night for it. Nice to meet some more SE'rs. Some amazing cars out on track.
Goosebumps every time Mads went by in the 360cs. Best sounding Car Ive ever heard

Tried to take it as easy as possible and still managed to melt my tyres in the first session. Loving the S1 it seems to take a lot more effort to find the right line than in the Exige but a lot more fun.
