He came in too early at hairpin and ran out too early and picked up a rear wheel on the grass before the run off.

 

Easy to do. Shame though as I was enjoying the chase.

But what was the fastest thing out there?

Fastest thing i saw was the Atom. That said i never came across SteveA who could of been in the R400. Afraid you were well off the pace compared to the Atom but you were certainly the fastest VX as everyone would expect. Its faster than mine in a straight line, on the brakes and corner speed.

Yeah that atom seemed to be obeying a different law of physics through the bends. First time I've seen one do its stuff on track. Would love a pax in Mike's vx to see what can be achieved with these cars. Next time.

The Atom was far from the fastest thing out there when I was driving it lol

 

Pretty sure there were 2 there, the supercharged one I was driving was just insanely quick it really was, my little brain could not keep up lol

 

Also had a drive of the 2-11 and that thing was like a little pussy cat compare to the Atom, really inspired confidence. so impressive on the brakes!

 

Both made my mighty NA VX feel slow, surprise! lol

I've had a pax ride in an atom 300 before they are crazy quick and very noisy. Brilliant.

I never got enough time to really test the R400 and I was actually lapping faster in Mike's car. Racelogic data showed Mikes was gaining all the time on the straights but that's not surprising with Mikes having 50bhp/ton more. One thing for sure is that I had an absolute blast in the Caterham.

 

Don't think I would have had much chance against the Atom as they have 500bhp/ton. Maybe if I hire an R500 :)

:D.. At least i didnt spin on the round about before i even got to croft.. Lol As G entered that corner he lifted about a sec or two before he applied the brakes, i only broke when i saw his lights come on, by that time it was too late and just had to go round the longest path in the hope i could slow down enough but i caught the grass. :( boo Lol

George did indeed brake early but as this was the out lap, he would have been warming up tyres and brakes.

Yea i know.. It wasnt so much the braking early as i was just matching his braking it from pit exit so i would always be able to stop but because he lifted for a sec before applying brakes he was slowing down whilst i was still accelerating. So i couldnt do anything really.

If you don't fall off, you aren't trying hard enough.
