I'm booked and looking forward to it. Always good fun at Ingliston. :thumbsup

Weather is looking like it'll be really good although I was hoping for some rain. :lol:

With the sun splitting the sky, this turned out to be a really good day. Thanks to Adam and Fee for all the hard work they put in to make it happen.

The track had been patched up and was smoother than the first event and there was an impressive range of cars including a Gull-wing Mercedes SLS. Times dropped as the day went on and I managed to better my previous 'best' by two seconds. That was good enough for 1st in class, quickest time of the day, and also the lap record for that layout. :D

Watch on YouTube

The lap looks a bit scrappy but a lot of work to keep the rear in check.


roll on the next one!

great Vid :) I was aiming for a 1:03 in the Impreza but sadly couldnt attempt it.

What does your VBOX data say for the lap?

I have a 1:04 on VBOX from last time :D

I think with another couple of runs I could have got a 1:12 or so from the X5.... :shock:

The standing start makes it difficult to set the start and I was struggling with Circuit tools so here's the best I could do with performance tools. I think it is accurate to within a few tenths.

It is easy to see where the time is made up on 2011. I email the data to you Adam.

Edit: I think that 2011 run was not my quickest but was typical of what I was doing then.

yup... you now hold the TS ingliston record :D 1:04.15 to my 1:04.47

The lack of water and detour on the corner made the track quicker :D
