In car video GT Racing at Castle Combe MR2 Turbo

Post by george_m »

3 in car video clips from my MR2 Turbo race car
The first is my son doing is best lap during qualifying in 2011 a 1m 13.9, much beter driver than me.
The next is me racing in 2011 where I came only 3rd in class but did fastest class lap time of 1m 13.5

The last video is my last race of only 4 this year on 7 Oct at Castle Combe as you can see I took far too long to get up to speed only finishing 5th in class with a faster lap time than the 2 cars in front of 1m 13.9.
Gary Prebble driving the Evo that laps me on my last lap won the Castle Combe GT Championship in his 700hp car so we kept well out of his way

thanks yes she drives well and yes is very stiff, too stiff when its wet, I have to soften her up a fair bit to make her more forgiving and predicable.

I'm sure with a good driver in the car there is at least another second to come off the lap times

Hi Nathan

tempting, I will not be racing it next year but will hope to be at Castle Combe for a few silenced testday's. If you could make one of those days that would be good they are always on a Thursday
