Good thanks mate. Car performed well, need to sort my 3rd gear baulk ring - I’ll do that in the winter.

 

Donny is a great circuit

I do the whole lap in 4th gear in my car. That's national circuit

Yep me too, with the occasional 5th through Craner if I get it right 🤣

 

We were on the GP Circuit so I needed 3rd for Melbourne…..

That's interesting.. mind you depends on overall gearing.. but I have found that depending on conditions I can be between third or fourth on a number of corners.. not sure which is quickest.. obviously I must try harder!!

5th down craner must be fun and 120 mph!

lol, or I must push on to the limiter and try harder 🤔

 

What gearing and diff do you run? From memory our cars are similar bhp and torque levels.

It doesn’t happen often and only when my mate who races in the BRSCC Fiesta ST240 championship is sat next to me. Even then it is a little hairy for my talent levels! 🤣

Haha, not sure I’m doing 120mph, I’m just occasionally in 5th gear. @Molesuggested 120mph down Craners must be fun.

 

I am certain you’ll be quicker & braver than me on track! 😆

Sadly I have very little talent, just a massively under developed fear gland 😂

 

A couple of the guys you met are back on track at Donington on Friday if you're around

 I have followed Rob on the roads to Malvern and can attest to the accuracy of that statement, which combined with his brake lights being completely inoperative on the day, made for a spirited and entertaining journey.
