RS246 Track Day at Castle Combe

[RobK]

Right, for the bandwidth gifted or patient people only, my video footage is now available here. Please download it rather than attempting to stream it. It's 111Mb [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

It's completely unedited (cos I couldn't be arsed) so apologies for the rough edges.

You'll need the Divx 5 codec, available from www.divx.com. Any problems let me know!

BTW Bushy i really Love your wheels [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

[Reno]

BTW which ones where the fastest cars around?
It looks like JR and RS4steve (i guess) were pushing it real hard [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] but that VX turbo was kind of blasting as well

Honourary diesel member here, as jr kindly offered me the sticker...

Great day, thanks jr, I witnessed jr spinning off in front of me just after quarry - very controlled and ahhmm 'elegant', perhaps it was the smoke that put him off.

Top day and whats more the diesel did'nt embarres itself too much.... [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Cheers.

Thanks guys for making it a success and also thanks to Pete the instructor, think he managed 10 people [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Also thanks to Castle Coombe circuit for the professional and smoothly run day.
The off at Quarry was down to the fact i was running semi slicks, and didnt warm them up properly [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img], sorry if i scared you pete but i had under control REALLY [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Maximum Joy was had by the Bushmiester and me in the do or die last laps, IT dont get any better than that!
Thanks to everyone who purchased clothing , this all help towards the day to day running of the site, and hopefully to organise another Trackday soon.
Thanks once again to everyone who attended and everyone who helped in the backroom.
Cheers
jr

On the way home there was a piece of exhaust silencer in the fast lane by the amrco - I stopped and picked it up incase it had fallen off DHAs M3 [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]...

I was only spectating and it was a brilliant day.
Pete was getting 39/41 mpg in his TDi, Bushy 8mpg, don't know what JR was getting [img]images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] Interesting but I guess not the point !!!
I'll take part next time, visited a few track days over the last couple of years........ too many drongos in "cheap" cars. I shouldn't have had concerns ,I thought you all looked very professional.afterall , fun yes, bent motor [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
