I've got a good video of the red Porsche RS spinning out in front of me (No damage, I wouldn't put it up if there were, but was still Karma I reckon, he'd been holding me up), and some fun sliding! I must get them up!

@andy96007 Sounds good man, look forward to seeing that!

@thetart20 It's online now. After the porsche I have a fairly brief bit following you. I took it easy for my first lap, shame in a way, I'd have stayed with you for a lap or so otherwise!

Thanks for posting my 'Epic' moment at Redgate. Although from outside, they never seem so exciting... I am still kicking myself for not having my camera running as it would have been great to post the cockpit view of me fighting to keep the car on the watery grey stuf!

[thetart20]

@MrBenovich Haha, no worries, was keen to get it in there :-) Big shame you didn't have a camera in the car! If you still want the raw clip just let me know.

Good Vid!

I was at this day, I've never driven in conditions like that before. I was in one of the mx-5s, it was fantastic fun! Very slippy.

I outbraked myself just where you did at the end too! The Lotus Elise had just allowed me past, then I made a prat of myself missing the chicane!

@andy96007 Thanks mate! Ah awesome - glad you enjoyed it, I can imagine it would be pretty fun in RWD!

All good fun - best place to push the limits with the run-off. Think I completely locked up/aquaplaned at about 90 one time (not on video unfortunately), that was... interesting.

Hopefully see you at another day sometime :-)

what tire mate?

[thetart20]

@commando25101 Federal 595 RS-Rs. Seem about 90% as good as stuff like 888s in the dry, but much better in the wet.
