Interesting Night........
Rough Outline as follows.....
P*ssing Rain - Soaking Track
Red flag after 5 seconds...White Scooby goes off on Duffus on first warm up lap (FFS )
Good turnout of the usual SE suspects

Tut in Verian's TT with dodgy N1 TUT number plates outdrove a few cars including a new white Audi R8
(Tut also sporting a new trendy layered haircut to match his trendy car)

Scotty C out in the "Black Widow-Maker" in under two hours of ownership.....much respect
(F*cking quick....Sounds like the second coming of Christ.....with its stage two set up, not sure it will pass the Southern Softy sound regs though)

Paul G out sliding for most of the session with new 038 rubber on the now smoke free 340R

Andy G out impressing his new Laydee with a "lets try Duffus sideway followed by a slight off into the gravel"
This probably constitutes as foreplay in Mr Gordon's book!
Mass out in the beautiful Gulf Exige getting more confident with each lap.
Cisco out in his striking red Exige trying to get it to lap as quick as his preferred two wheel mode of transport round KH.

The downside.........
Evo brigade were out in force making the most of their traction in the wet conditions
Their driving was at a consistently good standard ....with the exception of one thrillseeker in a white 07 plate.... who was lucky he did not become an accident statistic tonight with his robust driving style
(One yellow "chipped to f*ck" EVO eventually expired ending the session 15 mins early!!

Me?

I covered 68 laps in "Santas little helper "without major incident ....revelling in the fantastic MMC brakes and complete lack of grip from 9 year old P Zeros

See you soon.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Jamie and I had a worms eye view of him on the Railway back straight, I was waiting to pass the two cars in front of me, he was behind and started flashing his headlights at me, which just signifies a twat behind the wheel, nothing to prove in the TT, so I pulled over and let him past, and we then had the satisfaction of watching him outspeed and outbrake himself at the Hairpin and into the tyre wall.

As Ian Forrest says "perception exceeding ability"

I also had a great view of the incident as Mass was hard on the brakes into the hairpin I saw someone overtake us on the outside but we were on the kerbs???,well almost, as he went flying past onto the kitty litter sideways and on towards the tire wall :lol: The yellow cateram also had a spin off onto the grass chucking a whole load of cr*p onto the track, Mass too it all in his stride though, no phasing him! :thumbsup

You get some silly drivers sometimes.... I think he would have crashed into back of my car if I hadn't started to turn in.

Nearlly worn out 48s in the wet isn't very clever on wet track but still good fun.

RS6 was grey/silver - you cant miss it its the one with stones wedged between the tyre and wheel on the passenger side :roll:

He really was lucky not to 1 collect the other two cars and 2, not to get more damage, he did kiss the rear with the tyres
