Where are all the awesome photos that you took Eiji?

20m further UP the hill.....don't you mean further DOWN the hill? It's already at the top of the crest so you don't have big speed for the jump - or do you mean the chicane just as you exit the canyon?

I mean the 3rd set could have been further up the hill, (the set before the set on top of the hill). Certainly not suggesting any more cones.

When going hard I was in 4th gear between the 3rd and 4th sets of cones, no other section was that long and fast, and considering the nature of the road, it was probably one of the more dangerous areas at high speed.

But this is only a personal opinion and just an area that I felt unsettled the car. The set out of the cones was well done overall.

I rescued 2 parts of 2 runs from the corrupted video files:

1/ it is probably a good idea to make sure there is some coolant in the car before running:

2/ the quick run, but the bloody video is cut off about 2/3 through

I just put the photos up on Facebook here:

cried tears of joy when i saw this photo

another boat doing its thing below. Was this supposed to be a time attack grip event?

if so no one told Matt or i...

[Cassbo]

I vote more chicanes! Suits the micra better

I agree! It keeps the GT-Rs modest!

I understeered straight through the last chicane so I had already failed at getting a good time at that point, so I figured I may as well put on a show

Good news people; I will be making another booking at Sutton.

Not sure of the date yet of course but don't miss it (there will be at least 2 months notice).

Also we will be more stringent on leaks, so please be mindful of that. There was oil leaks on the start line so anyone with that fix it now

Entering the burnout comp again?

Same here, saw Eiji out there and decided to get on the gas a little early as i came out of the two corners after the jump, very very easy way to provoke oversteer i discovered. Almost made up for being so far down the timing sheet, will definitely be back for the next one to see if i can get into the 130's!

Entering the burnout comp again?

Hahahaa you saw that huh??

Hardly what I'd call an epic burnout..........I fell to the Fatz's peer pressure, he is a bad influence.

I do need to learn how to launch properly, it's never been my strong point.

Was awesome

And don't worry, I couldn't launch mine with a high flow so I got NO chance with the 3037

[hamiltonau]

i was told to wait till i was at high revs before dropping the clutch before doing my last run, i think i was smoking the rears all the way to the first set of cones..feltgoodman.jpg

[luke gtr]

in, so whats the date?

c'mon, hurry up already....

well, I surely know who was leaking water, and that won't happen again

That launch was somewhere around 4-5k but looks like it failed when I tried to grab second gear, as I said I still need more practice

[34GeeTeeTee]

WSID for practice until the next Sutton? Hoping to be ready to go in the next week or so
