Usually when you start having to climb back up hill too

Slightly better weather than I had the last time I did a lap then,

Hail in the car par

And when they eventually opened the track

:p

The guy that owns the blue corsa with orange wheels posted some pics on pug306.net. Id love to go but id be scared of crashing :(

craigy owns the blue corsa vxr its stripped out stage 2 i think very quick it also had semi slick tyres on it is a hard track to drive but you just need to be aware of other cars and drive it like a countery road you have never been on its alot of fun but saying that while i was there, there was 1 biker who died on it :'(

Excellent vid Si

thankyou i forgot to mention i had a stripped out alpha rameo up by tail pipe going into the carosel on my first lap and when i exited it he moved to the left to over take but the mighty vrs pulled away like a good un he only caught me up on the corners after each one he moved left then i pulled away it went like that for 6 corners he wasnt a happy man he was swearing and shakeing his fist at me i took pity and let him pass then sat on his bumper

Nice Vid

I'm all for driving safe and all - learning the track etc but did you get over 40mph?

Pritty grannish imo

Don't know if I could exercise quiet so much caution if I did a few laps

:wonder: read my first post "watch at 5min 23sec when the silver bmw over takes me i was doing 90mph god knows what speed he was doing " its a long walk home if i smash my car up just out of curiosity have you ever driven the Nurburgring?

Aye a long walk indeed :( Spose 90 anit too bad! :p

You didn't read my post either though! "Don't know if I could exercise quiet so much caution if I did a few laps" So no I have nvr been but I would very much like to.

It just looked like you could have gone a lot faster around some of the bends quiet safely but maybe that was just your super smooth driving that made it look that way!

Either way its your car etc I was only joking around

i prob could have gone alot quicker but when you have much faster cars comeing past you all the time it nackers up your line but i will get quicker its a harsh reminder when you see things like this though
