craggsy 91 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well i'll be relearning a few things this time round. I knew what my car would do last year hence i pushed it a fair bit. This trip will be different as I have 50% more power available so straights will go a bit quicker Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 plus corner exiting, dont want it dragging you wide into the armco Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Exiting corners is easy as if you turn in too soon then you will have to slow down as corner will be all wrong. Turn in to late and you will have to go round the outside slowly as well.Sticky tyres do help trememdously Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Theres always the possibility of someone being involved in a crash or whatever even if the pushing of the cars is not hard.Today for instance....I've just had my first crash into the rear of some 30yr old bitch that decided to dive into my small braking gap without indicating, slamming her brakes on to compensate for the car infront being almost stationary and my ABS unit not working....SLAM....her fault...even though I went into her.With my luck of things anyway, I'm probably destined to have a crash even when stationary in the car park.....so ruining it for others isnt on my agenda. To be fair also, with that little bit of info, I might not go. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B.O.B. Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Whats broke this time? Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Fogs, headlamps, indicators,....... grill survived though and there are no marks on the front bumper......slam panel will be investigated tomorrow. Needless to say she claimed me at fault, told her to F off very loudly and angrily and snapped my finger toward her car...got reg, nae, ect, police want to se me tomoz....probs cus shes claimed summin daft like I threatened to kill her.... she was sat up my arse for the 2miles before this happened.Anyway.The trip is summin I wanted to do before the VR or the VR6oc.Might only do 1 lap though. Do again next year with a few more laps if I like it.I'm looking forward to the drive there and back and the camping more than anything. Ring is a bonus.Also gives me a chance to try my german Link to post Share on other sites
