F20 Powered Rush Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I have an entry for the sprint at MIRA on sat 13th Aug and just asking for a few pointers as it will be my 1st visit to this event. Is the circuit usually the same layout ? Thank you for any feed back Quote
peterg Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Yes, (ish) I think the cones are sometimes in slightly different positions but the general layout is usually the same (I think) Quote
davidgh Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Gerry MIRA (at least the only circuit I've driven in nine visits) is very simple in concept -- though slightly more difficult in the execution. Happy to walk the course with you on the day. David Quote
F20 Powered Rush Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 David That is a very kind gesture, i will be lead by your good self Thank you Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 The circuit is always the same. There a painted dots for the cones to be placed upon. Quote
pete g Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 The circuit is always the same. There a painted dots for the cones to be placed upon. but they still managed to place the finish line in the wrong place last time out by about 75 ft lol Quote
Terry Everall Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Best tip I can give you to be quick through speed trap is on the fast LH approach corner, hold you breath, dont breathe, pray that theres enough grip, late apex and then close your eyes and do not lift your right foot off the gas pedal. Simples! Back in the paddock change your underpants for clean ones ready for a quicker run No cameras or camera phones allowed! Quote
F20 Powered Rush Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Ok i see now, as no cameras allowed why nothing came up on U-Tube So a bottle of brave pills are required by the sound of things Thank you all for the comments Quote
greenandmean Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Brave pills and a liking for turning left Quote
cast iron Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 No cameras or camera phones allowed! unless you doing a rally! Quote
