I`m glad you enjoyed the Skyline as much as I did. It really did show me today just how good it really is......except with bubbling brake fluid:-)
Thanks to my bestist mate Steve for letting me play in 2 sessions in his 3 bed detatched.

Good day out Bob. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Two of your awards going to the lads from Scotland. Plenty of track experience but their first time at Donnington. I think they enjoyed themselves. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Dingy may be a little sad he won the best dumpvalve as he doesn't have one fitted. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif LOL
That MK2 does make some awesome wastegate chatter noises though. You should hear it on the inside http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Cheers
Lee

OOOPS! Sorry, I thought the chirping was from dump valves! Can you get scoobs to chirp like that? I want a scoob and should I get one I want it to chirp and possibly chiss aswell!!

I missed the TVR spin, that's why it's not in the awards but congratulations anyway! Another catergory missed was Best front wheel dive car on track which must go to type R, a sterling performance and well done for getting your OSR wheel off the ground at the Melboune hairpin!

Please feel free to add any catergories you like, Bob

Thanks Bob, in addition i thought i would produce a late entry for best spin, 110MPH down craner sideways very last session. Sorry to everyone, who had to stop due to red flag.

Thanks Matt

Matt,

That was you ? Ah, never did find out before I left. Hope you and car is OK mate.

See you at the next one, Oh, and sack those slack barstewards http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif (Hotel)

Cheers

Ian

Just glad to see you made it unscathed Matt.. close call.

You weren't trying to go through Craners as fast as I did, were you ? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Type R, so it was you that stopped the final session! I spent some time chasing you earlier in the day. You've got a sweet handling car.

Like me, you too got caught out on the black ice down Craner Curves. Damned weather. It surely can't have been driver error http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif. Sadly, nobody saw my 'off' there but I reckon it must have looked pretty good. My son (passenger) thought it was hillarious. Put the sh1ts up me, though!

Live and learn, eh http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Great day. Thanks Stef. But I do wish someone had told me we were using the full circuit before I hit the brakes coming into the Esses http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

BOB

"best use of track" Is this good or bad ?? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

DJ

Hoppy,
The first thing I mentiomed in my two drivers briefings was that we were using the GP circuit. Were you asleep?? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif Were you there??

Also the circuit was bone dry down Craners, otherwise I would have mentioned any ice anywhere (as I did re. Esses braking), and so can only come to the same conclusion that I did with the TVR, ie. the limits of grip were reached and then surpassed, leaving driving talent FAR behind!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Type R
Crikey you managed another..and all on your own this time...... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif and i thought it was the additional ballast you had in the front left hand side......

Thanx for the passenger laps, i would have loved to have had another go when the slicks were on but you looked fully booked, perhaps next time,

Mark

Cheers Bob,

Glad I gave you such aural pleasure http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Just to let everyone know, that was a HKS Hyper Muffler and downpipe. No flame throwing at the mo', but I intend to change that soon http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

L33 WRX

RobMac
just spoke to Iain with the TVR, he say's that he just pushed too hard on craner, but he had had 2 previous goes roung craner b4 the spin, on the spin lap he took it a little wider on the line and it went! he thought there might hav been something on the track (just off the racing line) lol


Phil

Docjock, it's the good way, I was impressed with how you managed to use the rumble strips without falling off! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Bob

i think i may have over cooked couple of times having to stand really hard on the brakes http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif but they can take it.

That must've been you driving http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif

DJ

there ya go

Having spoke to other people on the day about this they seem to agree that he found something off line in Craner..... the brakes!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

This then caused the spin...

Like I said at the time, the limits were found and then surpassed...
