Gutted Jimmy.

Will there be any videos of the day?

I have all my sessions on vid but they include Cliffie Cam as I was using a two camera Vbox system so you will have to put up with my mug on camera.

JJJ has the files for analysis so when I get them back I will have a gander and make sure I can edit the bad bits out and find a clean lap with no spins or swearing.

Looks like a good day, but why has everyone got their roofs on?

I will tend to track with the hardtop on as in my mind, it offers a little bit more protection in case of inversion. Plus running without a roof increases drag and decreases acceleration and top speed and having run an NA with 150 BHP on track, I am used to making the most of any advantage I can gain.

Yeah Cliffie's got some excellent footage of the day. Not sure it'll be allowed out of a folder marked TOP SECRET for at least 50yrs though

I do have a vid, but it's crap. Not sure if it's worth posting up... Would be a shame not to put it up for the sake of continuity but I was trying a new mount attachment and a new mic but neither worked well

I will return!!!!!!!

Does anybody know if you need to download any .eds files or drivers to an SD card before your Performance box will recognise it..?

Mike, you are such a bad boy!! If some of this footage hits YouTube you'll never do a trackday again That Caymen S we were having trouble with...? I saw how you did him tut tut PM me your Email address (I might have it somewhere) and I'll send some edits over later! Very jealous of this Vbox setup though mate, really is awesome!! We were using Circuit Tools to view the files but they are automatically saved on the sd card as media files too. I will have to do a session with it somewhere!! Session 7 on the Vbox is defo your quickest where you were chasing down that 340R with a 1:39.3 followed by a 1:39.9. That was my quickest session too as I was out of shot chasing the two of you. Only managed a 1:40.8 though I'll put my vid of that session up, but there is a big fat mirror in the way with my ugly mug in it The best vid by far is the one at the end where we intentionally went out and worked our way through the traffic, but that one may be for the TOP SECRET folder

Cheers Jimmy, you have PM.

The Cayman overtake (plus that whole session to be honest) is definitely not for public consumption and was a naughty step moment for sure. I was well chuffed to stay with the 340R although he was clearly quicker out of the corners and I did have a little look up his inside out of turn 1 but knew he would be past me pretty soon after so didn't waste his time.

Try the Vbox out at Le Mans, we can swap over at lunch time.

Is everyone saving up for pro alloy fuel tanks now then

I'm not, I have done Rockingham; box ticked and don't need to go back.

Those left handers made a huge difference and whilst I didn't suffer from fuel starvation unlike some, I did see the fuel gauge read 9 litres on track and 27 when back in the pits. I can only thank my new fancy fuel pump I guess.

I want to see this cayman overtake. I won't judge

I won't judge

So do I as I'm considering consolidating both cars for a Cayman.

[Mike (Cliffie)]

http://www.fastestla...ue&filter4=true 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.

That configuration doesn't have the chicane at turn 1 that I drove in August. May account for some of the time difference I will have to dig my vid out and have a look at my times.
