You were far and away the quickest out there Chris (in a straight line (obvs) ;) )

 

I was surprised how sedate the latest generation of Loti are against the modified older generation.  I expect Peter wishes he had taken a newspaper for the straights :lol:

Zoobeef, nice driving! It makes you wonder why bother with a SC. Sounds way better too.

XGPS160 job done. Expansys was cheapest when I bought mine. 10hz gps, instead of 1hz inbuilt phone.

Cheers, the ZZR tyres are awesome, once I'd turned in I could just plant the throttle mid corner and have no slip at all.

Cheers guys for awesome few days and was great to meet some old and new faces again 😀 Loved Zandvoort for the town and circuit, just a shame the drive-by was so crap. Looking forward to the next one where I hopefully have more confidence in the car again as its been two years since I've last drove something quicker then a 1.4 🙈

I have quite a bit of footage of you all, and of a heron I had to take avoiding action from as it was stood in the middle of the track!

 

You have to post that up! Sean was going on about it on the boat on the way back and we said he'd just imagined it as there was no evidence on his camera.  :D

Good clear footage Chris! ......also back home, missed ferry as was stuck in traffic jam for 2 plus hours. Oh well still good trip, really enjoyed pax ride in Lee,s car, real eye opener how much corner speed you can obtain with those gt hubs and some serious camber. Good crowd as always will look out for next year's event wherever u decide to go.

 

Some of you Pete, car looking nice and flat through the turns. And Joe.

A lot of people were impressed with the Evora, and you certainly pedal it well!

Thanks for that Chris.  It sounds like you're short shifting and with your voices clearly audible I assumed you weren't trying.  Perhaps you should edit your later comments out :D

 

Became a little fruity with the German pair.  What happened to you at the end?

My best lap https://youtu.be/6p0g23nbPCE Had to slow down due to noise before the lap so didn't have a good fast top end on the straight and also lost time at the end. Happy with that time and what do you guys think I could of achieved if I did have a clear lap?

Great weekend as expected! Had a bit of everything with the weather the beach and Amsterdam. The wife enjoyed it which makes my life easier for booking future trips. I may book two hotel rooms next time though so I don't spend the early hours locked out in the corridor banging on the door!! Didn't get many laps without traffic but here's one. It's got Partridge's Evora in which I was impressed with. Laps a little scruffy and there's plenty of time to be found so I'll have to go back and have another go sometime. Here's a couple of laps resulting in getting black flagged in Lees car. I was letting off for the whole last corner as I T hought that was where the sound meter is. Turns out it's near the pit entry just where I started to accelerate. Thanks again for trusting me with your car Lee, it's epic!

See, I wasn't seeing imaginary suicidal birdlife. It was waiting for me so it could step out in front. Glad Mark scared it away.
