Default Oulton Park Track Day 28th July

Nice Black Classic with Monster Logos. The driver was concentrating more posing for the picture than negotiating Druids Corner, almost coming a cropper, with some quality snaking across the track before Warwick Bridge. Well done for getting control back Got 2 or 3 others I'll upload later.

Nice photos! I don't suppose you took any of my R33 Skyline GTS-t did you? I was back home unloaded and in the shower when the wife got back from work, not convinced she believes I went, and that I wasn't really after the new bint down the road No, but seriously, I would have liked to see what sort of roll angles it was adopting, and I had to rush off without looking at the official photos. Thanks.

The Blue bug looked really quick to me as well. It seemed to start the session with exhaust restrictor, but towards the middle of the session I'm sure they either took it off or it fell off as it sounded awesome where I saw it just before Lodge. It was like he was not trying to use the throttle too much so not to draw attention to the fact the restrictor had gone? Might be wrong??

Yep, spot on, right on the apex of lodge, where lots of cars slide wide onto the rumble & grass.
