Check out the leading time

Wow, thats insane. I know what i have to beat and i have no chance, haha

 

The guy said that the Westfield is barely road legal

 

Still, the scooby only beat me by a couple of seconds as well. I reckon I could beat that time with a bit of practice

2 seconds on a track is a lot of time to shake off, but with practice and knowing the circuit, i think you could get down there.

 

Not really mate. On my last lap I was flying and did 1:39.2 . On the penultimate corner I proper monged the entry, over cooked it, was almost on the grass. Graham reckoned that alone cost me nearly 3 second alone

2 seconds on a track IS a lot of time

 

Unless you were driving like a sissy

very true, i saw the video, was it that one where you went a bit wide and almost stacked it?

 

Knowing a circuit is the key to losing time IMO, my mate had the same setup as me in the MGZR and he raced at Donnington every weekend practically. He knew the course so well, that at Donny North on the track, he was overtaking scoobies, a porsche 911 S and an evo, Oh and a skoda octavia but we dont mention that

Thats a great write up Sarnie, well done.

 

Driving on a track isn't an easy thing to do so you should be proud of yourself. I'm glad to see that the 'I'd be faster than you' brigade hasn't come out as they would of in other forums!

 

Can't wait to see how you get on next year with the mods.

Me too mate. Currently mulling over Charlied's DC zorst and the Vortech SC

[Stew]

Just get them!

 

I was tempted by the exhaust myself

Hey Sarnie,

 

The pic's looked great & well done on the times, I enquired about a track day at Silverstone at the weekend...pretty good deal I thought....£300.00 for a full day. The morning you would be taken out by instructers in their cars (3 in total - single seater, lotus elise & RS4) then lunch and out in the zed in the sfternoon. Is that what you did?

 

By the way, do you work at Mooch (interior design place in Digbeth, Birmingham)? If so I work just up the bank from you and have often admired your car for a long time. If not, I'm admioring someone else's carB)

he wasn't at silverstone, he was on the TG track

Down another place TBF, being beaten by a Ferrari is no big deal

[Stew]

If W is wet then what is F? Or an I being dumb?

Fog.

 

 

Dummy.

[Stew]

Aha!

[StephenG]

I'm off there on Jan 5th

[Trev-the-Rev]

The question is, will you become the resident Stig?

[StephenG]

No. I'm a pretty ham-fisted driver. I imagine I'll have problems beating Sarnie's time.

unless he's a really bad driver, he should be.... his Z is supercharged! come on 100hp extra surely will make up for even the worst Z driver out there???

The gauntlet's been thrown down now - you can't not rise to the challenge

[ir_fuel]

But i guess weather conditions wont be all that the 5th, and putting all that power down in the wet ... dunno

[Removed]

assuming same weather conditions, of course

[StephenG]

.... which it won't be
