Fantastic time last night, what have they done to KH, where did all the grip come from? I couldn't believe how hard I could brake and not lock up (too much) never known a wet track session like it. Some work to do to get my braking point right for the new Duffus. I kept braking too early then having to come off the brakes before the turn in point. Should be amazing when dry. I wasn't happy with the cones to start with, but after a few laps I hardly noticed them, maybe a problem if there were alot of cars on track.

The driving standards were pretty good, however the Cosworth and Evo could have kept on the black stuff a little more often.

Great night.

Giles

So were the cones like the HM earlier in the year? For those who weren't at that, the cones cam half way across the track at the corners to prevent people trying to outbrake others. All they did for me was distract me and I ended up watching them instead of braking points.

From what i read and Sasha said they weren't as severe as the HM cones and they only got in my when when i spun and smacked into one

Other than that from a relative newbie they were fine.

They cones that day were a nightmare, pushed you off the racing line totally and as Si said, had you concentrating more on them than the track.

Its good that they might have pushed them in a bit but still very dissappointed in KH for keeping them

well last night was my first track day in around 8 months to 1 year and I must say I loved it. It's only when you get back behind the wheel on track that you realise how much you miss it.

I liked the new track but not too keen on the cones, don't mind them so much going into the corners but hate the on the exit, spend most of my time watching them rather than the road ahead.

Can't wait till the next one, providing I can escape work early again, who knows maybe I will take my S1 on track and leave Mac to enjoy the S2. Seems I hogged the car most of the night

poor Mac.

Thanks to Brunty for organising the event, it was FAB.

Oh and did I mention that I was tracking at around the 72 sec mark. which considering it was wet and my serious lack of confidence (for part of the night anyway) I thought was pretty good.

Hi Mandy

I think 72 sec is quite good,still not sure about the datalogger times I got,Brunty had his camera in so he will be able to confirm them,he was not that much behind me

No probs for the laps Mags,still not sure if you really "enjoyed" them though,or if you are just being polite

brunty, what was the script with the cones?? were you told when you booked the track slot that they'd be there, and is it a permanent fixture????
