CASTLE COMBE SPRING 2012 - PICS "PHOTO HEAVY" please add to

Well thanks to everyone for a great day out ( even if it was damp and cold ). Was happy with the way the car handled on the track this year better than last year ( due to KW1 vs eibach springs ), little bit disappointed with the brakes though, had severe vibration under braking after about 2/3 of the way round so backed off after that. Drove home and there was more peddle travel than normal, but today seems OK, but will have to check it next weekend.

Anyway after 3 hours ( slow internet connection ) I have managed to upload the video I took. Nice view of Jason ( leaving me behind ), you can see both the Fabia and Octavia parked on the track, but missed them coming off.

Sorry about the phone call, SWMBO phoned me to tell me I was going slow LOL.

Hope you enjoy

If you watch carefully you will see a quick restart of the engine due to putting the engine into limp mode :giggle:

heres my footage,not the best quality i'm afraid.

Nice video Dave it's my red Fabia sooting up the screen for much of it! :)

Managed a 1:27.6 which I was happy with

Top work Si

"Commited" as usual flew past me like I was stationery.

Have checked your time against those for the regulars in the Castle Combe saloon car championship.

You'd be somewhere around 24th ish with that time just behind a Lupo! :o

Makes my plans to convert and enter my Fabia look even stupider than I already throught they were!!

Did you get any other sessions?

Only the session immediately before the Briskoda one while she was waiting for us to take to the track.

No sign of your LCR though.

Pasty Boy-where are the rest of us???? I don`t see my red Fabia anywhere. Have you got more pics pls? thanks

Gimme a minute dude can't put them all in one post.

Here's mine. Pretty poor quality as it's just a suction mount and a phone. I got to over 100mph according to the GPS

Thanks to all those who 'let' me overtake them :hi:

Sorry I wasn't meeting and greeting as much as I'd have liked but the

24hrs before the session were very difficult for me and I was only really

there because it was what my mother in law would have wanted.

My wife and I lost her on Friday morning.

With that all so recent I wasn't really 100% in the mood.

However, while I was out on track it was a nice release from all the

stuff thats been going on lately as you do have to concentrate 100%

on what you are doing while you are out there.

Big thanks to Jonnyfive, Reavenger, Simonk24, Martynvrs, Korban, Pastyboy and Jars

for your kind words. I appreciate it. :thumbup:

I'll try and be a bit more sociable next time.
