Well that was fun. Wrong way makes it very different and i think it might actually benefit the lower powered car but it's not as much fun. Duffus is pretty much flat out and then you lose less speed on the straight as it's downhill. (The other way that long uphill straight really costs when you've no power).

Clarks is really hard though and there were 4 (?) offs so quite a lot of stoppage time which was kind of frustrating.

I think I won in the end though, they waved a chequered flag at me...

(only one other Elise, a mint yellow S1 and got chatting to another chap with a LF1 (but he didn't have it with him).)

Yes, it was fun :D Clarks is tricky, particularly nasty if you 'just' over do it as the track drops away and unloads the car - sudden and no way back :?

The evening was really about getting my eye back in before the next SLS, and to give Gordon a shot of the sequential. Also trying to preserve the tyres, so not pushing too hard, but here's a few laps . . .
