Damn that Porsche was annoying! Quick on't straight, but cornered like a granny! LoL

Nice driving! Looks like a lovely set up you've got there.

Do you have the whiteline arb's on there?

That porsche was winding me up quite a bit! You were clearly faster everywhere except the long straights.

Good work :)

Karl,i did use whiteline ajustable arb's but have now gone on to TRD non ajustable on this car and really rate them.Normally we would take of one side drop link front and rear in the wet to soften the car up but the rain came on so quick at spa we did'nt have time so it was a little like driving a gokart on ice. Especially when we had a serious aquaplane moment at the end of kemmel streight at around 125mph take a look at 9min 10 seconds on the video, that was a proper ar$e twitcher :shock: :shock: :wink:

Mark,

Where about are you based? My car is stored up in Lincoln and I see you're in North Lincs.

Might be good to come and talk to you at some stage to help with my set up :)

Yes the porche is in a different class to us mate and as for the caterham if you look closely there was two of them,one in the barriers on each side of the track #-o and both drivers ended up in hospital.Luckily no serious injurys as far as im aware :wink:

Hi Mark,

PM sent. Just read this post.

Unfortunately its the mrs's birthday this weekend and we are going out for the day which is a shame as I would have definitely come over.

I'll mention it to my brother as he might like to pop round for a watch.

Cheers
