My Harry's lap timer stopped working after two sessions because my phone went below 30% battery, strange! Did exactly the same on Clio Craig's.
My passenger had his phone on the mount so when he emails them across I will edit some good footage and post it up.
Even tho it was bitterly cold grip level was good. Clear track 80% of the time helped! Last 30 mins of the day Clio Craig had the whole circuit just him and a fun cup beetle!
Sadly advise from Shimmy to use all of the track particularly into the pit corner paid dividends. :-D

Would like to think so mate but I think that's about it for me. Had a massive tank slapper trying to take crainers flat to put a lap in! Cleaned up my boxer shorts and had a steady few laps!
Shame you couldn't make it was a good day for clear track time

SY what mods from standard? rear seats, solo or passenger.
We should have a Donny and Spa lap time list as they are frequently driven.
List car specs, ie anything listed other than how it left the factory, driver weight and ambient temp.
Also for shim:wink: timing method, performance tools, Harry's or vid for validity:thumbs:
Just for fun, remember gents no timing allowed on track days:wink:

I'm not claiming the lap timing / timers are 100% but its not a million miles away. Got colder after lunch so 1.19.08 was the best
I have the rear seats in with a 12stone passenger & I'm just under 13stone
Intrax with harder springs set up by Simpsons so not sure how many clicks, AP front DS29 pads, super sprint race box.
I think unless you have a proper plumbed in lap timer system it's all abit hit & miss. That would be the next purchase but unfortunately this may have been my one and only TD in 2013. Wife and kids have got into horse riding in a big way so need the funds to set them up :bigcry:
If we are having a lap timing list my wife has a stop watch that will give an extra half a second :thumbs:

Set up down to Simpsons :thumbs: feels well balanced so I haven't touched it

Too late mate. Some land up for auction march 19th less than a mile from home so the wife has her heart set on a couple of stables / tack room + horse for her and a wee one for my two girls who are 5 & 3.
Hopefully giving them an interest as they grow up.
Another lesson today at 4pm!

My mrs used to teach and compete for her auntie at her stables/farm.
She herself said we are not buying our little girl a horse.
But her auntie has bought her a little pony, I said thats fine, we are not spending a penny on it, her auntie will feed it, look after it etc.
Only input we are having is the mrs is going to break the pony ready for the little one .
Best of both worlds.

Sounds great!!!
My Mum used to compete / own a yard so will teach the girls but unfortunately no financial help. When you add up the cost and time needed to keep horses it's mind blowing
Sorry for going off subject! I know this is not the horse and hound forum :-D
super, and it will pull your scouse cart :)
All the way round Donnington! We will be strapping a Harry's lap timer to the horse

My Mrs has 5 horses and is always spending on them before she has even got on them, early morning starts and late evenings rain or shine, food every day shoes every 6 weeks, I love winding her up about my horse, use it, abuse it, and feed it when i use it. Good luck with the auction :-D
