Some nice driving there Graham! Very smooth driving. Your lines are very different to mine ( after instruction) - you seem to turn in earlier into redgate and old hairpin but still maintain a good steady speed out .
Who did the alcantara retrim for you and how much was it please?

Thanks mate. I didn't manage to get instruction And for a couple of corners I could have done with some tips really! Redgate I struggled with all day, couldn't get it right, found myself turning in too early constantly! And Coppice Billy was getting the power down better than I was so I think I was hitting the Apex too hard and still turning whilst Billy was already powering out.
Royal Steering Wheels did it mate, £140. That along with the driving gloves makes it so much nicer and grippier

Graham, your Redgate doesn't seem too bad tbh, compared against Sy and mine, you are probably 5-6mph slower on the straight (which could be to do with the exit from the chicane plus maybe a little les power delivery) and then 2-4 mph slower on he corner itself which would be a bigger issue and one to fix.

The straight speed could also come down to SMG although I didn't seem to lose any time through gearchanges when I was behind Billy...getting on the power earlier definetly needs improved these cars still impress me with how well the power goes down

SMG makes gear changing easy and less prone to mistakes but it necessarily faster in real life.

Don't forget if the car in front pulls away out of a corner it don't mean he is faster as he has his power down first and you get the concertina effect. Just check where he is next corner at the same spot.
