There is no way on God's green Earth I am 10 seconds slower round Rockingham than a Fiesta ST and 14 seconds slower than a Toyota Yaris T-Sport.


The touring cars were there on Sunday and fastest lap in each race was in the 1:25s. Quite a few of the support races were in the mid-30s.

Thank God it was!! The last thing I needed was more left handers!!! Sufferred badly with fuel starvation, and ended the day with an EML light on the dash (need to borrow a reader if anyone's keen). Turns 2, 8, and 12 being the worst for me!!! I went out with half a tank and the car stalled at one point chucking the back end RIGHT out toward the wall at 12!! Not good!! Ended my session after only 2 laps :( filled up, only to misfire coming out of 8 on my next session with a FULL tank!! Swirl pot anyone..?

Corner 12 on the configuration I drove was touching 110mph, anything below 1/2 a tank was a no go. Rockinghams fuel prices were very reasonable though, unlike Mallory (£1.80/litre)

Yup Turn 12 at 110 would be about right, I was doing 110 on Turn 1.

why oh why oh why are we slower than a Toyota Yaris T-Sport?

Not had time to frame these or tweak with Photoshop yet. Also I can’t find a good one of the dolphin NA or VXR#5. Could pick a few out if the owners are interested.

PM me if you a copy of the original non-resized images thumbsup

Cheers,

Dave
