Not sureme at all Gareth ,as the same as everyone else, i still have a lot to learn. Just really enjoying the day and looking for everyone to abide by the rules. I wasn't in anyway saying you were slow. But you guys had just pulled out the pits and stayed online. It would have cost you no time at all to move offline.
Anyway, i'm not going to bicker on the internet about it. Just wanted to say there was no need for it, especially as you guys spent more time staring in the mirror than looking at the track

. It proves nothing and just gets folk back up. Point made. End of story.

This was our first lap out. We didn't know the track and I didn't know if the next corner was going to be left or right so rather than pull off line (didn't know which was the line) then get in the way coming out the corner I decided to stay put. Once the first lap was in I knew which corner was next. You never had any problem after that. When I saw you I moved just like I moved for anyone else coming behind me. You guys had 4 hrs tracktime on me so were going to be inevitably quicker.
If you want to moan about people not moving over at all...lets discuss the 3 clios. I sat behind them for 8 laps before pulling into the pits to get a gap.

Even although I took 325 pictures, I still managed miss you

sorry. I know that there were another couple of guys there taking pictures so perhaps they caught you. The thing is I clearly remember seeing you.

Just found a pic of you. It is not great so that is perhaps how I missed it. Any way here is the proof that you were indeed on track!

I hope fully, should have a good few laps of film of the M3, so I'll let you know when I've had a chance to edit it

If anyone wants pics removed (re: number plates) I'll be happy to oblige. Didn't manage to take many pictures, but I did order the official CD, so if anyone wants to PM me their car details I'll see if I can find them - should have the CD sometime this week

Aye - t'was going well mate. Always liked the E30 M3s. Good wee track tool (as you ably demonstrated) when stripped.

I think this may be you. Sorry, it is the only one I have. You need to get more laps in

cheers Shug, thanks for your compliment. i enjoyed the day with the elises buzzing around all over the place.
just need to get more confidence with the brakes. 4 pots, but the last set of discs cracked(a really fine crack so only got worse as they got hotter) so these were fairly new and just bedded in.
