Ariel Atom spin sequence
The most amazing sounding car on track:
Nice red Elise

Nice ones of the Atom John.
That was George at the hairpin when he realised that I was closing on him..........

If you dont have the occasional spin you're not trying hard enough.
Great pics John, yes Gareths harnesses were a bit fiddly.

Tut you definitely need to look at a dictionary as the definition of "closing in" is not slowly dropping back and clearly unable to keep up.
Great pictures John. And I thought nobody noticed.....

As per John's briefing, if you see a car in your mirror that was not there before, tis because it is going quicker............

I have uploaded all my pics to the SE Flickr group, although John and Stewart's efforts are far better.
I have for the first time cropped and post processed a few shots, so apologies if they now look pants! - **edited, as i have been a f*nny, and uploaded the originals, so lots of shots that need cropped!

Ho ho ho.
Tut, those rose tinted driving glasses of yours need a clean I think.
Anyway, at least you didn't just sail past as normal so I will have to wait until next time to prove my point....... By then Andy G will be blasting past in his 245.

I was prepared for a CV problem, a boot is throwing out grease, but it held up fine.
I have to do something about brakes though, I had new Geary ali belled disks on the front, replaced after warping, with 14's on, but they felt awful after a few laps, juddering and lacking bite.
On inspection they showed discolouration in patches accross the surface, though to be fair, Geary states that they are not suitable for racing or for cars over 190hp. However I only noticed this after returning from FF6 and cracking one.

Tut,
i had exactly the same problem with RS 14's and gearys belled discs yesterday... Big judders when hot with the disc surface blued.
I was going to look into some ducts for the front before looking at AP kit....
