Knockhill 16th April 2009

[Steve Gill]

Big thanks for Mark for sorting this out, fantastic day :thumbs:

I've got vids to upload, will get them sorted at the weekend. I've managed to successfully link the ECU to my DL1 data logger so I now have RPM and throttle position on the vids, so you can all see where I'm lifting off :bigcry::hahaha:

First vid is from a lad I took out this evening:

Very good Steve, haven't seen that car in AGEEEEES! Sounds lovely, that the cams? What exhaust is on it now?

You still gonna have it over around start of May? I'm not home until then.
Looking forward to the videos from you, especially with the RPM's ;-)

Steve Gill took me out for some passenger laps last night, the difference between a standard csl and that car is huge, the handling was amazing, It was great to see how a should be done, Steve's car control is something else, no video can do it justice. Thanks Steve i went home with a bigger smile on my face than the day i first drove my csl:thumbs:

ps if Steve turn up at the ring trip, i booked him first for help

Things have come along way since the days of the 330d Steve eh?

Thanks again for sorting this one out, I'm planning to go to Hot Marques on Monday evening if the car is sorted in time, gets the hydraulics replaced on Monday during the day!

Steve is your mate a better driver than you? :hahaha::hahaha:

only joking really enjoyed the passenger lap in your car and driving and car handling something special:thumbs: :thumbs:

[E46ACS]

Quality videos Mark/Steve. :thumbs:


Followed Steve around the ring a couple of years ago*, quality driver! :supz:

















* By followed, I mean that he passed me and left me waaaaayyy behind! :whistle:

[Mark CSL]

His car has all the best suspension and is a lot lighter CSL but he can drive a bit :gayfight::blalalala:

By the way steve i timed a few of your laps near the end and you were doing 59.04 but your quickest lap was a 59.01

[Steve Gill]

LOL that last video was my mate driving, the harness undid itself which is why he slowed right down, then he plugged it back in and carried on :hahaha:

He's a better driver than me, he is an experienced driving instructor and is about to have his first book on driving published, so yes he's better than me - but I have more experience in the car so I claim the win :thumbs:

Hi Baz, it's race cams and race cats, plus a custom header as well - car is staying in the UK this year apart from a trp to the ring at the end of July, possibly joining the CSL register trip :thumbs:

[derek]

Mark can break the 60 secs for a lap when he doesn't have excuses, vanos, cup+ tyres, to many kfc, had quite a few passenger laps from Mark and learnt a lot, he's also a great driver:thumbs:

[Mark CSL]

Ok Derek
What are you after :whistle:

But thanks i just drive it like i stole it :hahaha:

[sailorbaz]

That's good news that your car will be in Scotland for the duration, nice one. Will need to get out with you. You coming to Ross Priory with the 'other' loons on the 31st May? They're having a show and shine thing, but I'm just heading along for some banter. I'm guessing everyone is welcome, we could have a mass arrival of CSL's! That would be fun, mucho induction noise. I would imagine there would be a certain amount of replacement of underwear going on there!!!

60 second laps? It takes me about 60 seconds to get to Carlube!!! :bigcry:

The friend you're talking about Steve isn't Hamish is it? :thumbs:

[Steve Gill]

The friend you're talking about Steve isn't Hamish is it? :thumbs:
Yip, Haggis himself :hahaha:

Not sure about the 31st, will have a look on bavarian board to find out more details :)

Ok Derek
What are you after :whistle:

But thanks i just drive it like i stole it :hahaha:
Having been a passenger in Marks csl round knockhill i can confirm he does drive it like he stole it, love the sideways exit out of the hairpin,made me laugh every time,awsome.

Nice one fellas - looks like you had fun! :supz:

[Steve Gill]

OK managed to get one video online with the telemetry, I tried my best to sync it with the video, but the ECU interface is a little laggy :banghead:

All fun though, this is the few laps with Derek at the end of the session :thumbs:
