Awesome day at Croft, that really is one fast exciting circuit.

Hope everybody got home OK, I encountered some really severe rain and lots of standing water on the M74.

Roll on next year !!!!

Great day as usual at Croft, so much to learn, don't think I did a single lap with the same lines twice!

Big thanks to Kinger for the use of the jack and sorting the pads/disc issue for me.

Only one red flag too, shame it was an s1 exige, fire marshall said she put 3 extinguishers into it :(

Here's 1 lap, watch for the pheasant just before the essess!

It was a great day, until the rain came on & I spun off ....... :oops:
fortunately, not high speed & just onto the grass

Ive got it on camera & so have 2 other people.
however, i mounted my camera upside down on the inside of the front windscreen. i thought the image would have flipped but it didnt.
does anyone know of any software that flipps it 180 degree's ?

A couple of laps with Andy, no wonder his left rear was as smooth as my "baldy heid" when he was finished.

It really was a great day, and lots of good laps with our SE'rs. Ron and I were having some evenly matched fun playing with some what should have been faster cars

Turned out a great day once the rain had cleared off.
Had a great afternoon running round with others from SE.
The drive home was very wet in places, not pleasant with no windscreen, couldn't see much at all.

Kenny, Didn't get much footage of Zenos, after you passed me you were on the horizon playing with Ron. Only a dot on my video.
Yip great day,

I was thinking of you and you pal when I was the M6/M74 in biblical rain.

I don't have any video of the last couple of runs, battery ran out. Pity, as I thought I'd caught it all.
