batch it, bun it, muffin it.....

 

People, you should really give it a go, those who have done track time before will tell you how much fun it is. Its not easy, you go out thinking 'well I can do this here, that there' and its completely different.

 

you know how fast I was going round brooklands, struggling for grip, really feeling on the edge of the cars limits (wether I was or not is a different matter, thats how it felt).

 

35mph. a pissy 35mph and struggling for grip.

 

before dabbing the brakes before copse I was doing 100mph, underneath bridge I was doing 70/75mph. not astounding speeds at all, the tight bend at Ireland was a second gear jobbie. So different to what I expected.

 

Cant wait to go again.

i really want to give the track a go. nearer the end of the year when the fiestas running out of mot (will need serious work to pass another) i think i'll be taking it up the road to knockhill or crail and taking it a run round the track. i got such a buzz from just watching it i cant imagine what driving it will be like!!

Do it Reid, you wont regret it

 

For the eagle eyed among you that have watched my little escapade, you may have noticed the mk6 escort that came steaming past.

 

I had to find out who it was, and what it was (other than a mk6 escort). Its a 2.3 RS2000 on throttle boddies, running about 215bhp. no wonder he overtook me. (its cornholio off rs2000-16v.co.uk)

Brilliant vid Ian :thumb:

 

Lol at went Trig got caught behind two slow cars 'FCUK' :D

 

Seemed to be lapping at about 2.12min :thumb:

ha, that really annoyed me, I was catching another Red RST. One of the slow cars was the Torque of the Devil Focus ST170.

 

No match for a 2litre escort
