But the hardest comes at the End, on the last lap from approx. Wippermann I have 0 km on the fuel cpu... and I needed more then one time a 5lt jerrycan just to get to the gasstation...

At least I have now my private fuel depot at the parking lot

When I go to the track I want to drive and not kick tyres at the pits
ADR is a nice escape and the Z3C is very good for this track.
It's lighter than the CSL by almost 200 kilos.
The tyres are ok, they could do another 110 laps.

Atom: quick, light, precise, great fun
M3: easiest to drive, no surprise there
Caterham:physical but so much fun with all that oversteer

The half day I had the track was wet & dry

Just came back to the hotel after a superb day!

Atom - agree 100% with you
Caterham - yup, agree!
The Formula Jaguar and JP-LM were so nice, well balanced and forgiving to drive too (not only the M3) The speed you could carry trough the fast sweepers and high speed kinks were just amazing

Well done

After posting the pic in the previous post I'm just waiting for posts containing the word wanker I'll be posting the videos of all my spins when back at home :D

Congratulations, you must have driven well in all the cars to win driver of the day. I was pleased with 2nd place on the half day

Sounds like it is worth doing the full day to drive the jag & jp-lm. How much quicker are they?

They feel waaaay quicker . Not sure how much quicker they actually are. The speedometer seen in the video gives a hint. No crazy huge numbers there really. The cool thing though is you do notice the downforce working in the quick kinks and sweepers. Fantastic fun!
