Interesting to see you also got stuck behind the yellow 54 plate westi for a couple of laps, but at least he eventually let you past. My son was such behind him for 4 or 5 frustrating laps. Where were the marshals with the blue flags. Rather than doing something rash trying to get past he came into the pits. Like most Westfield track days the driving is generally good but there always seems to be one driver at some point who either can't use his (or her) mirrors o just won't allow someone past.

It’s not a race, mildly frustrating as it may be, does it really matter on the “club” track day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness gracious me! we weren't racing were we! I've had another look at that first vid, and I think I know who was in that particular yellow car, and to be fair we were "held up" for about a lap when he was in clear air. That's fair do's in my book. The thing is... I was given a mild talking to by the start line guy about getting too close to @Michael Whitworth's .. and advised to leave more space. So if we're all socially distancing on track, how do they know who's holding who up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I must admit, I do have a tendency to drive a little closer than you and Mike when I’m wanting to pass 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came tonking round the last corner with Mike behind and they chucked out the chequered flag for lunch.. The car in front of me suddenly slowed and went straight in, I slowed (rapidly) and saw Mike locked up behind me. 🙂 Did another cooling down lap..

But we weren't racing. Its not a race track you know. 1 hour ago, Andrew said: We had a little "incident" in the morning.

The marshals would have blue flagged you if it were a real issue. I was one of the slower cars out there too. Takes a fair bit of getting used to.

Andy (Sycho) Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I held a few cars up on my first stint in the xtr2, I was to busy concentrating on what I was doing in the car than looking in my mirrors.😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanDB Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Some videos from my car on Friday. I do need to sort out the microphone to get rid of the wind noise. There is some bits with other people in but it was quiet! I picked up an annoying bug splat at some point too 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
