Epic day, shame about the weather in the morning but even so, overtaking all the RWD cars made up for it with a big grin :D

Can't wait to see the vids of my last 2 sessions, was impossible to drive any faster! Nailing some of those stripped out, caged track cars has inflated my ego :lol:

I ended up bending the rules when cars refused to get out the way. I had to seriously tailgate them through quarry and outbrake them into the chicane. Naughty I know but they just refused to move. The worst were a red toyota and a green rover, both weaving all over the place. Just have to barge your way through sometimes.

i noticed a 406 driver was doing terrible! he had power on the straights but corner drive for s**t at the esses bend, in my video you see him cup me up on the s bend after quarry and then try to cut a bmw in front of me up, all infront of my camera, he then takes a rediculas line through tower corner, gets cut up and then lets off round bobbies, then let me overtake him

did you see the older MG, belted it up my arse and frightend the s**t out me lol, made me go off the track on bobbies

I get it now you where all in the stand on the corner. Thought I recognised the burman plate on the st and and a silver zetec s there. I was looking for a fiestaturbo stand not that I done much looking. I had a quick walk about and then caught the track action. I passed tweek and mrs tweek on the way home on the m4 and caught your 1.45 slot and 3 o'clock I think it was tweek your motor seemed to be preforming well. Who's the dark coloured mk3 with driver names on the rear window's that was motoring along constantly. Same about the weather though it was cold to say the least. The white and gren big powered evo was funny though every sess it went out on it came back either towed or blowing oil everywhere and you could see the roid head owner having a rage in the car was comical. :lol: :lol:

So when I get to fitp now what stand am I looking for fiestaturbo.com or shaboygan racing :-? :-? :-? :-? :-? . Would have been nice to have a chat if I had known who was who. I did see a lad wearing a fiesturbo.com hoody when I was getting a pint but didn't see where he went who was this. :-?

Ahhh, what were you driving? Should've beeped lol. Between Combe and Michael Wood Services on the M5 I was deep into economy driving!

For the action days, Henry's booking the stands under Shaboygan Racing because there are now normally so few Fords in them let alone Fiestas, FT cars sometimes now only make up a small portion of the stand. All the other big shows will be under FT as normal.

It could've been me you saw with the hoodie, 3 of us have them. Myself, Chris 2i and Burman. Username's are on the front :)

I was in a black mk6 with white mondeos on it I did beep and you kind of looked. I was only parked around the corner from you ended up coming into the show area was asked for tickets and said I haven't one and the girl steward just said go in by there I drove around and parked up In a Vauxhall group. I was kind of happy that I wacked a ford there stinking dirty and left it there all day :D :D :D :D

Man on a mission...2nd video is better ;)

Session 3, 1:45, more like 2:10. Every man and his dog wanted to get in my way. Still a bit cautious with corerning grip so still using 2nd gear a bit, eventually phased it out.



Session 4, 2:45, again more like 3:20. Really hammering it round this time, wasn't taking any nonsense from slow-coaches this time :lol:
(quality might be crud for a bit cos it's still "processing" on tube)



I've timed my lap time from Spring 2011 in similar conditions, that was a 1:40ish, this year in the final session It's down to 1:31. Just goes to show just how much the car's speed has improved and how much confidence I have in it now! If it sounds slow then that's probably because I've got the ERST LSD gearbox, longer ratios. 80mph around Camp Corner and over 110mph on the straights in 4th :D

Thats how its done :aviator: Youve come a long way since i went out with you, mind you the gearbox etc were knackered then, no wonder Trecoll was smiling when u got back.

I found mine to be similar, not even braking for the chicanes and able to catch most things up round there

i disagree the first one was my favourite, too many hold ups and you pushed a little too hard at times in second one


good driving wayne, your experiance shows big time, and man i want an LSD :lol:

whats with so many of the cars including mine dumping loads of smoke? the white integra was dropping tons of it, and most the time its at the end of the start finish straight just before that bump :oops:


i see what you meant about that white 106 lol, didnt wanna admit defeat did he lol

Hondas always drop smoke, they are oil burners, especially on vtec.

Pushed too hard? There's still more room left in there if I wanted to push harder. It's just called aggressive driving ;)
