Pincher Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Simon, I'll be parked on the chevrons on top of the A127 pointing towards the M25 North at 6.15am Plan is to head up the A1M and then go x-country to Silverstone and avoid the roadworks on the M1. M25 has works at the A10 junction (40 mph through the 2nd tunnel) but at that time of morning, should be relatively OK, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pincher Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 No guilty parties here but a Caterham/Westie had an unplanned meeting with the pitlane wall after about 15 minutes of the 1st session, a Peugeot 307 (suspected hire car) ended up in the kitty litter approaching Nuffield (I think) and an XR2 and a Pug 205 (or maybe a 306) made 'contact'. Various spins round Copse when it was wet. Very wet early on and too many cars for the National Circuit. Was better once it dried out though. Still too many cars for the length of circuit though. And the multitude of red-flagged sessions became a little irritating. The FIA European GT3 championship winning car, run by TechArt was a bit on the quick side though.

scooby_simon Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Anyone any idea what kind of speeds you were hitting down Hanger ? I managed 130ish and Wifee managed 100 (in a mega rain storm) in the F355 when we were there a couple of weeks ago and I'm just wondering what others got in "normal" cars.

Ian_C Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 A few years back I repeatedly touched 110, lap after lap, in a de-cat [but otherwise stock Elise S1], nudging the limiter in fourth, hood down, two up. With the standard gearbox ratios [and not the 135 set-up], fifth was not worthwhile. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm not quick by any means (as many will testisfy!!) but down Club Straight I got to 100 and down the pit straight, touched 105 a couple of times. Didn't get to go down Hangar, as we were on the National Circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Club Straight I got to 120ish and down the pit straight, about 110ish - all in the dry. Too anxious to be looking at the times in the damp Slippery as hell, as Chris says, sooooo many cars spinning and going off and far, far too many cars at once, pretty poor track discipline as well, so bad the organisers had to 'ave a word' with the whole group..... Glad it dried out at the end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
