GMballistic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Will did you just see the end of the Ginetta GT4 Supercup! Two drivers acting like right prats literally punting each other off after the chequered flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Stupid thing to do. Every race driver knows if you've got a problem with another driver you wait till after the race, ...away from the cameras, ...then you try to knock their heads off. Seriously though they may be looking at some sort of licence suspension's I'd have thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 ^^ Not sure I remember that. I was thinking more like 90's BTCC possibly? Soper V's Cleland although that was while the race was still running at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Will, weather doesn't look good I know but if it rains at least the racing will be more exciting and it will separate the men from the boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Team did the first ever 120 MPH lap of Combe in the 86 Formula Libra Championship in a Lola T332 F5000 with Tony Trimmer driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impressive Will. That average speed equates to a 55 second odd lap time. Now that's quick. My best so far is a 1 minute 35 second lap time in my old Mondeo ST24 which is approximately an average speed of 70mph. Never took my old JDM Subaru Impreza WRX on there which would surely have been quicker because it always let me down. Definitely want to take the Zed around Combe though, ...maybe next year.

GMballistic Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Enjoy Combe tomorrow, weather doesn't look that good though. Total washout Will. Decided against sitting in the rain for 6 hours odd. Gutted as the next race day now isn't till October and I can't do that one. Definitely going to get a track day booked though at Combe for next year so I can have some fun with the Zed on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got stuck in the Notting Hill Carnival Traffic. 22 Police bikes passed me in a line. No seen ONE Zed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go to Oulton Parlk today its the Historic Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting. Instead I'll watch the Superbikes from Cadwell Park live at 12.30 on Eurosport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
