Nic Surry Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Despite getting black flagged on the sighting laps for being to noisy even at half revs ,Drive by noise testing is nothing like static as my car passed Castle Coombe and Llandow .luckily adding the second silencer did the trick.Great day with mostly curtious driving standards.Met some nice people and track is awesome it was good to experience the full Grand Prix circuit. I have a gearbox issue to sort out during the winter but definately game for some more track days next year. 1 Quote
jabiqq Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 Really enjoyed the day & it was nice to meet you guys. @Scotty72 will you be uploading anything from your gopro? A few pics from today below. 1 Quote
Exitus Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 What a day! We all had a fantastic time, and it was great to meet you all. Mum was smiling again by the end of the day, though I'm not sure we'll be getting her back out on track again soon! I've certainly got a few photos - I'll post them when I've got them off the camera.

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 How did @Scotty72 's S2000 compare with your Sport 250 @Exitus Quote

It would be difficult to make a comparison as he was running T1r's and I was on 888's. Quote

We were getting decent speeds down the straights, but had to go fairly gently in the corners before the tyres gave up. Braking was worse - it was far too easy to lock up the fronts. I think a set of 888s will be on their way in time for more track days next year! Quote
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Yep. I've driven 3 Sisters on both tyres the R888's were 5 secs a lap faster than T1R's on a 50 sec lap track! Quote

I'm 5 trackdays in and only just starting to push to the edge of the 888's incredible grip levels. I'd love to try some slicks... Quote
