fil46 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well what a weekend that was my first race at oulton park, it was 360 miles from Aberdeen but worth the trip everyone was very welcoming and the weather was great had 3, 20 min tests on Friday then it was right in to the thick of it on Saturday getting 5th on the grid with a 1.46.855. had the best race ever with a westy and a caterham also a rapid rx7. lap times were good 1.47.333 in the race being held up in a few parts and not going hard enough in others. next round is croft at the end of the month I can't wait. I will have a vid up soon when youtube gets up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm glad the 360 miles was worth it Phil, well done. Probably see you at Croft at the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just found this vid while looking for Phil's (must be a slow internet connection in Aberdeen? ) Was going to ask where Cam Forbes was this year, but I'm pretty sure he's in the crowd next to the camera? Red jacket, black hat? Have you retired Cam? Oh, and what happened to Garry Watson? Oulton outside footage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Aspden Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Quality! I like the way once among the back markers that overtaking gets easier with out the hesitation seen earlier. No criticism intended I know I don't have the balls for circuit racing, well done. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
