CHILL - good to see you on Saturday morning!  Thanks for dropping by.  Sound wasn't a problem for us as it was definitely done from 30 metres apparently. 

 

Nice lap time Chris - I didn't have any particular target in mind, just wanted to learn a new track but started the day on 2.20 or so learning the track, and got to regular 2.10s by end of the day, so not too unhappy with that.

My ferry was a bit more because of my trailer. But also I averaged 40mpg in the tow car.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

didnt do bad on the brake pads Chris 

but probably did more than 4 MPG as there would of been a 1  mile  to the fuel station 

[SteveA]

Every track day I do I use 70 litres of petrol. Small engine but out there all the time

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

100 litres on a track day normally 

on the plus side i did manage 230 miles out of a tank on the way to the port (standard tank )

Are you sure you did not mix some stuff during the conversion?

12 min is about 6 laps. A lap is 4.3 km. 6 x 4.3 = 25.8 km.

When you use 20 liters during that, there is something seriously wrong.

 

I myself did about 8.6 liters during those 12 min on track.
