Hi VXers,

 

Couple of recent vids from Cadwell Park this weekend, was pushing on in the wet on a very greasy track.

 

Both videos end with a trip on the grass towards the tyre barrier at Park corner   but other than that a great day!

 

4 Channel ABS definitely had a proper work out

Not sure as I have never tried one! For me the standard ratio is perfect though.

Fantastic car control again. Quite something to drift a VX around Cadwell in the wet

Can I have your autograph? 😂 Are you coming Ford KA racing next year. I have a car with a spare seat. Cheap racing.

Thanks Nev maybe we will get you out one day to properly push your limits

 

Doesn't matter how wide your tyres are... if you're on semi slicks in the wet and making progress if you touch the dry line you're sideways its like ice. What you need is wets but then that would be no fun at all!

Lovely, enjoyed that!  I did two races there in 1968 and amazingly it hasn't changed a bit, just tyres and barriers instead of stone walls by the farm.  Nice circuit!

Great videos and great driving. Thank you for sharing

Small clip to show an aquaplane going up the hill at park straight on my first session, amazing how careful you need to be on semi slicks especially now I'm going faster with the SC!!

 

Started lifting there afterwards looks small on camera but felt pretty big at the time.
