Nah - just baldy road tyres

I had a serious "take it by the scruff of the neck & rag the living daylights out of it" kinda mood going on, hence much tail wagging & general lack of smoothness (in my driving only

), which can seriously affect lap times, but is very grin inducing...

- plus I had my 1st dry spin at the hairpin

Paul, your GT3 looked seriously tasty, as does your avatar for that matter

The video seemed very slow - I can do 62's and thought I was pretty on it when keeping I was easily keeping Kenny behind me.

Traffic was pretty dense at places but still......

Tyre barriers probably make a bit of a difference...

Some 62's in here when clear of traffic:

Sorry the camera goes skywards, mount was a bit loose...

Gives you that authentic Exige 'driving through a letterbox' feel.

In other words, easily holding me up

hopefully not, there was racing in the afternoon and they "protect the apexs"

They were there to stop the racers from killing the apexs (that's reserved for the BTCC)

Think your right Ali - wasn't full on through duffas or the chicance (especially after my trouser staining moment earlier).

And Kenny - when the car passes you that normally a sign that it's going quicker

Oblviously I let you passed, cold tyres etc etc mumble grumble

Nice lapping Ali. How did that NSX get on, was it slow, warming down or just poorly driven?

And it was particularly impressive

I was seriously put off by the tyres at the chicane. The ones at Duffus didn't bother me at all but I was really backing off through the chicane. I did a couple of 65s on one of the vids. I'll need to get a shot of a video camera some time and see what sort of times I'm doing.
