Which circuit lay out was it? I did the Southern circuit in May and it was spot on!

Any pics of your cars from the day guys?

Shimmy, what did you think of south circuit? Good/bad, bit short, interesting...

I liked it.

Very fast.

Best time was 1m18s so a tiny bit quicker than Snetterton but similar on my mind to Snetterton

traffic was a problem but with more experienced drivers you could get alot more overtaking done.

Club is quick, just like a reverse B2 at Spa, around 85mph entry, loads of outer run off but with green AstroTurf strip, then an FIA concrete pit wall on the inside.

New fast corner at Farm is quicker but you can go in too quick and compromise the next corner which can by very very fast.

A nice couple of bits off camber, a couple of bumps in the track, wide, good kerbs and plenty of seats for my fans to watch.

I saw Curly's mate in his R400 there (Steve) and we had a great session over about 4 laps (CSL 1-0 R400) but it was close.

I think it would take ne a couple more trips or at least sone clear traffic to nail Farm and the odd corner back onto Hanger Straight which are by far the hardest two.

That would be spot on mate, nice write up on the circuit aswell, out of a few I've done this year I really enjoyed Silverstone!

We were there for the evening session but thanks to circuit days got on for a few laps at the end of the day session.

Wasn't on the case though, just shaking the car down and seeing what problems there were, circuit was mentally busy and failed wheel speed sensor meant no ABS which was interesting, few big lock ups on the new start finish straight before we got the pickup off the front tyres. Never driven any Silverstone configuration before and this has made me want to go back and do a test day on the national and GP circuits.

First ever time driving on race wets came in the evening session, just mental.

no hassle

CD nor Silverstone mentioned it other than no hand held

mine are clamped but Duncan had suckers on his front screen ,and neither of us had any issues.
