hilux Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Just a thought cos I watched Furtive`s one of Cadwell and thought how useful if you`ve never been to track before. I`m off to Mallory next week and would therefore find a video of a lap useful so as to `learn` the track early and not be holding you all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I have........but not here at work............ E-mail me, and I'll attach it when I get home. IIRC, it's not too big......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furtive Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Sadly not one of Mallory, but there is a collection of complete laps of several circuits available for download here I really found the UK Circuit Guide helpful. It has plans of every corner as well as information on how to get round it. Worth getting IMHO. I believe that BookaTrack sell copies. I also found TOCA2 on my PC useful for places like Snetterton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham.J Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Have a look through the BookaTrack Video archives I'm sure there's a couple there. Jimbocam should have one too, I forgot about that one furtive, hmm I feel some downloading coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Take a jerry can full of Optimax or SUL, 'cos the pump at the circuit expensive (like over a quid a litre........) Take: a brolly........ a long sleeved sweatshirt a waterproof coat......and trousers. an open mind some tools money Before you go, check ALL fluids...... brakes tyres wheel nuts alternator bracket and all fixings in fact, every nut and bolt should have a spanner thrown at it.......... ALL belts your balls......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 And not forgetting that the very first sessions of the day for all groups - will be a "follow the leader" with our ARDS Instructor - Nick Kjaer - being the leader These will be at a "steady" pace so you will get some appreciation of line, brake and turn in points As long as you pay attention Also on display will be circuit guides for you to study Don't forget - it is NOT a race Just chill out and enjoy and let yourself be overtaken by faster cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
