Mole Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Yes was great to see Andrew..showing me the way round as always! I too am absolutely worn out..I thought it was the having fun and sliding around on my Michelin sports!! There were a few red flags but a really good day.. just a shame I couldn't organise myself to follow Andrew a bit more! Noticed an oil leak towards end of day so got to get onto that ready for Cadwell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Just having a quick whizz through the Gopros. I've definitely got some behind @Mole 👍 ..and I think this Cat wasn't observing social distancing rules? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Those two caterhams were quite quick... Were you going up the inside of them? Glad you have a bit of footage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 OK it's not Donington - but it's a track day and it was the 22nd June... and it's a video 😆 (sorry about the crap sound!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like you got some space on track. Have seen that grey Mk3 Cortina there before.. it's a supercharged V6 or V8 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It wasn’t too bad. I managed to get quite a few sessions with clear track including just after lunch when I was first out. Seems nobody realised lunch was over as I got 3-4 laps in all alone before other cars started to appear! Also had a really good chase with a Caterham who was slightly quicker on corners than me but slower on the straights - so I could improve my lines by emulating his. GoPro was off though 🤬 There were quite a few race teams out who were less than courteous - but easy to spot so I just made sure I kept clear. The cortina has a Lexus V8 in it. Doesn’t half shift! So here’s another. The blue Porsche was good on the straights 🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, the chap parked up next to me told me about this first thing.

BenD Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 so is overtaking a free for all now or is it still on the left hand side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a track day it should always be on the designated side, on a straight and with consent. That’s often overlooked - especially by race drivers out testing.
