MarkyMark Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 These cars were taking people out for rides around the track £25 for 1 lap. They didnt give a fcukThe cossies all did well even though alot seemed to be blowing Shite loads of black smoke out the backThis guy got the crowd going in the stand next to the pit lane, every corner he was trying to flick the back end out until he got black flagged then everyone was booing and shouting for him to get chin the guy. They let him back on but he just came off with smoke coming from the engine. Look on the back bumper.This guy did the 0-60 but the car sounded like it was mis-firing, then he just spluttered to a stop and had to be towed off I am definately going on the track next year, gonna get some new wheels soon and keep the old ones to put on next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It's because they are at their maximum for fuelling, nothing else you mug . Subaru owners wouldnt know about that, as their pistons melt at anything about 20psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lad who lost it in a mk4 3i and just missed another 3i, that got the crowd going as well. I think most of the people there were just waiting for a crash to happen. Marcia said there had been a couple of minor accidents. The lotus's were the worst cutting everyone up , id have been more concerned about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I was sat watching the performance ford cosie duke it out with the WB performance one. they were really going for it, left mike rainbirds cossie for dust. the red flag came out and the incident truck and crane went out on the track, followed by the landy with a winch. the WB car was brought back on the flatbed, front nearside hub had exploded and the car was missing a wheel. the landy was for a fiesta ST with a Fast Ford staffer in it, it had broke down and had to be towed in, couldnt help but giggle. not as much as the chav saxo that went up the 0-60 strip1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, NO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lee R Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I thought the track action was average. But then I hate Silverstone as a spectator track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I thought the track action was average. But then I hate Silverstone as a spectator track i agree that the tack action was not great bar a few high powered cossies trax was different last yr, as they had alot of professional drivers out there which made for much better viewing. i remember 2 lotus exiges driving within feet of eachother at full speed around each bend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The lotus's were the worst cutting everyone up That is true... They were proper ignoring all their rules about overtaking in the braking areas, etc! They weren't going for it in the corners though... as I stuck right on one on that hair pin right!! £25 a lap is disgusting!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
