and go to Amsterdam

 

and go to Amsterdam

Dirty boy!

 

when in rome and all that

Ooh its got a gay bar, nice.

Sadly no air conditioning so I have booked NH for 7th.

Leaving my options open for 8th as not sure what I want to do after the track day.

Tunnel: 7th 7.50; 9th 20:20

I did look at Folembray the day before, but struggled to make the road trip work , its still a possible option as I get the trackday included with my season pass , so could just leave earlier and head to Z.

Great circuit really enjoyed it. Was a bit hot could have done with a cloud or two.

Chasing a 2-eleven later in the day

Ah, you drove the other yellow VX/Speedster.  

Epic weather and a bit hot for drivers and cars, but we finished the day with some cool beers at the sunny beach...

I thought the trackday itself was very quiet , never really came across any other VX. For me it was first day out this year and was taking it very easy, but the rear grip was so good I could feel it wanting to go flat through the fast stuff , it must be the rear bodywork mods as I have never seen another be so good under braking , great fun down into turn 1. So much composure through the back straight slotemakerbocht and over through scheivlak

Video will be up soon of the last run, where we agreed to take it easy and not jinx the day.

Usual stuff , tyres 24/25 set at the start of the trip , no changes made to anything , dampers all left road setting, it just ran perfect all day , water temps 94 , turbo barely on tickover running just 10psi , just a bit of corner exit understeer , tyres are few years old now. Brakes brilliant , abs on all day , could hear everyone else lock up

Whats up with your camera, the way it moves about?

I think its the image stabilisation , it slightly crops the visible bit , plus there is some gyro function on it, its a sony sensor in there. the sound is not very good with the roof off.

You go into Tarzan with ABS on ? You're braver than I thought !
