Yep cracking day, weather far exceeded expectations! Was it the Astra in Front of you that was smoking a bit or yours, its not that clear on the footage?
What happened at 5.23? Did the engine cut out or something? Nice vid tho, good to see the boy racers getting their ass whooped:-). Can't wait to finish my Indyblade . . . .
Nah the engine didn't die, I got a bit lazy on the downchange and got a false neutral, when that happens its best to just wait a couple of seconds and coast until the engine revs have died a bit before banging it back UP into the gear it came from, then down again if necessary, hence the slight pause in action!
i think it was a bit of both. thats the trouble with those old boy racer cars lol. it was only my second track day and i have been caught by the bug.
