Cool to see redstar doing some car days too... I have to wonder if they're struggling to make cash because they were adamant when they opened it would be a bike only track

Keen to join you one of these days!!

Going through my videos and logs last night I got a pleasant surprise - I did a new personal best in my last session and I didn't know it. 2m19.1

Interestingly, for that session I'd lowered my tyre pressures to 2.0 hot (about 1.6 cold) which very noticably changed the handling of my car. The usual understeer was almost gone, and I was actually getting a bit of oversteer under full power.

I wish I had a rear-facing camera, but all I have is the sound...

@0:15
Me showing the STI on my tail how to double apex the 1st RH turn of the dog bone.
Hear STI dramatically failing lesson and spinning.
Hear me laughing, and laughing and laughing.

And an hour later, with lesson #2, exactly the same happened again.
I'm sure I laughed even louder, but I don't have it on video.

Then my friend with the STI decided that's one thing that my car can do which his can't.

Two short video clips.
Recorded on my old Nokia so the picture's not good, but it's all about the sounds...

Got my last batch of photos from Gerrit for the 29th at long last. Here's a few of them.
He takes a great photo - worth waiting for.
