... good lap time ... that would be the one when there was no other fooker out wouldnt it !!!????

my vmax down the main straight was 128 also. Right enough Shimmy's motor does seem to have a bit of extra pull as he passed me on the straight without any lifting required. Whats the secret eh ;-)

Motor not faster, Oneills was as quick as mine, it was just making sure you take the corner onto the straight at optimum speed to get best top speed and braking very late under the bridge for the Esses

It was just noticeable that Duncan and Titan on some corners chose to go in fast but just means that you come out slower. Now sometimes it can be the right choice but when you have a long straight you are gonna loose out.

My driver of the day was Oneill. He was very quick even though he has has had the car a few weeks and his first CSL Trackday. It took me some effort to break his tail and I think give him another shot and some full Cups and suspension and I won't be able to.

Let's just hope he doesn't keep talking about S2000s

it took me a few sessions to get some of the old corners up to speed and all afternoon to get the new bit learnt but still some to do

I think your Evo could post better times for sure, youd monster the middle section but i would have fun watching you on Coram, going faster and faster and waiting for you to lift!

but i have to say my car has huge front end grip for a 2wd CSL. Its working really well.

Were you on Cups Shim?

So if dUNcaN was on slicks, was he making phone calls during his lap or cracking one off or what?!
