Silverstone GP Monday 20th February - £189!!

Discussion in 'Track Days & Track Driving' started by neilrs, Dec 3, 2016.

  1. Not sure if it was the same red MX5 but he was following me briefly, when we came into chapel I noticed him suddenly zip across from one side of the track to the other. My initial thought was that he had spun it but I think he either took a drastic line or overcooked it. When I looked again he was still on the circuit but much further back lol
     
  2. Guys sorry I didn't spend much time with you as we were trying to shakedown our new 330i project car ! Great day though - whose was the Grey+black roof Mk3 pre-facelift RS with zero badging and lightweight wheels ? We had a couple of laps together but I had to yield eventually - mine is dark grey?

    Hi Loggy
    Your Clio was doing well, we had a few laps a couple of times, good effort and sounds great as well, (Orange Megane)

    He had a moment in front of me, give him 10/10 for trying though
     
  5. Yeah had good time chasing you and the silver one down. I just kept thinking mine had broken... when yours popped and banged!

  6. It was a great day
    Stunning cars
    Great weather
    Nice people
    Couldn't get better for a petrolhead
     
  7. Any videos of the day?
     
  8. Ive only uploaded one - but going thru the laborious process of compiling the rest.

    And my brother has uploaded one also:
     
  9. Nice videos, what setup do you use?

    I was hoping to marry my vbox data and gopro footage with race render, i've never tried doing it before though. My quickest lap was 2:42.78
     
  10. I have an S3 phone built in to my dash running the Racechrono app with a bluetooth OBD2 logging and a 10hz GPS receiver. Then I run footage and data thru racerender to add graphics and combine/ finalise videos.
     
  11. Mine - thought it was you as the colour looked nice. Did you leave at lunch? Was going to come and say hello and offer to swap pax laps

    You forgot "broken damper" in description though ;-)
     
  12. Sorry Neill!! I did shake your hand at the Green Man though ?
    You car was superb. How much power/camber do you have ?
     
  13. No, I wasn't there mate

    Camber... hah, do not know for sure because I think my geo is rather off. I think around -1.5 either side

    Power wise, 350/350
     
  14. Ah OK cheers Neil - I guess the 75hp deficit explains a few things ! I feel a bit better.
     
  15. You can't compare two cars unless they are identical mate, it's a fruitless exercise. My car is really far removed from yours

    At Rockingham I was followed fairly closely by a Trophy and was very impressed, but then turned out he had semi slicks so it made sense

    I was running PS4s again and was really impressed with those. Didn't bother letting any air out either, as I wanted tread on the way back

    What I did enjoy was sitting on the bumper of the Jag and Lambo. They couldn't drive for toffee
     
  16. My only real moment of the day. Will upload the vid later.

    You say that thiugh Neil, a modified Megane isn't massively quicker than a stock one providing you have a driver that can pedal it.

    The fact you can go sub 8 in a stock one on road tyres speaks volumes about how good they actually are.
     
  19. Shhhh.... I'm trying to make Nick feel better about the fact he can't drive :wink:

  20. Ah ah. I was actually surprised how little difference the 75 extra hp and the additional camber made ! ;-)...until I got to hangar straight.
     
  21. Finally got some of my 360 footage uploaded. This is with a few laps you megane boys - including the moment I cut across the black 225.
    Helps if you watch in highest quality and via platform that supports the 360 movement (most mobiles and desktops)
