Good to see the caterham didn't listen to the briefing. I thought it was passing on the left only?

Car is amazing btw. Looking forwards I seeing it at Coombe.

  • A few pics of the deeper red colour when the sun is down, brothers in arms.

  • Right.   I gave myself a good talking to and popped out for a little bonding with the new car.   Holy moley it's even more bonkers than I remember the last ones being. Yes, they have worked a lot

It is at Brands. I don't think he liked having a big Nissan catching up down the straights. This is why I give people space. :)

Also why I eased off on the main straight and wasn't right up his chuff coming into Paddock.

Always much better to have fun and go home with a straight car than get into the racing mentality and have a moment.

Front and back cameras from the Briskoda visit to Castle Combe, 8th September 2012.

Excuse the moaning at the beginning, I get twitchy while waiting...

The Skoda's look like they are driving so slow! But I know most of them aren't!!

I was a bit iffy about the yellow wrap when i first read this thread but it grew on me and after Combe yesterday....WOW. B)

Considering I had my camera I didn't take that many pictures. Here's the two I have of the GTR

Thanks for the pictures guys.

Had a great time on Saturday, with two track sessions and then the Brisky one.

The sheer grunt of this thing in a straight line when you open the taps is staggering.

While on track I averaged about 3mpg though. Which was interesting... :D

Puts the 15mpg into perspective for my Yeti last time I took her there then!

I worked it out to around 1.25 litres per minute we were on track. Still flipping good fun though. :)

I'm surprised at how long I was in the rear facing video - for one very brief moment I seem top be gaining on you!

I noticed that a few times on the rear camera.

Depending on traffic my lap times varied by 7 seconds. :)

I was far more consistant in the Yeti as we were all travelling at a similar speed.

I see you didnt forget the chicane this time rich? haha

No mate.

4x4 again, but less ground clearence this time! :D

Car look's rather fantastic, the yellow really suit's the overall look of the car and not too in your face either. I would love a passenger ride in one of these, been in my mate's TT Supra which is running only 400bhp and that thing's rather quick indeed but that thing's much more tail happy than any Nissan could ever be with it's computer's and keeps the driver more on your toe's with it not having ABS and no traction control lol

70mph doesn't half look fast when viewed from your camera's Richard and who gave the wench permission to fondle your car! :giggle:

She seemed quite fond of it.

I like your taste in music :S

I thought there would be one comment. :D

Not what I usually have on in the car I have to admit.
