What a blast,

Went down to Donnington on friday (25th) rained all morning and then dried up at lunch. Nice to see Docjock down there flying round.

For my first time I think I did reasonably well 1m 34s was my best lap time, how does this compare? It'd be interesting to see.

Got some awesome footage of my car against some real brutes.

Sample lineup 2x500+ bhp Escort cossies, 360 modena 911 turbo, GT2 Maserati 3200GT BMW M5 Escort Turbo Diesel?

The bit where we catch the 360 down pit straight and then take him round the following bend is probably my groundhog day, or was it not letting the Audi RS4 get away, or seeing and filming the Maserati driver Blow something as we went for it.

I couldn't believe the difference between the car in the wet and dry, very very UNPREDICTABLE in the WET but incredible in the DRY, the tyres and testament to that fact.

I even had the guy in the 911 turbo come over and ask what the hell is in that thing. Possibly due to me doing 135mph coming down to the chicane before pit lane and OUTBRAKING him in a cloud of brake dust. hehehehe. (cheers falkland the DS2500's do work)

Good to meet you, car was going well IIRC :) I, of course don't time my laps because that is not allowed ;) Seriously, didn't do any vid because the spray was a PITA.

Sorry to disappoint, the white/stickered Escort Cossie was only 350bhp and had been converted to RWD!!

I also didn't get to speak to the guy in the Green 4dr which unfortunately sounded rather shafted (big end? :( )

1.29 on national circuit

Docjock,
Cheers for the info boy that cossie went well. I was really pleased with how the day went although I think it best be left as a one off due to warranty issues etc etc. What time did you leave, did you see the Maserati go pop?

Boy I bet he was upset.

Well looking at the times above I DON'T think my 1m 34s was that bad for a first timer.

Cheers All
