Very good for someone with only 3 laps under their belt, well done. Anyone that says different has no clue about the place, most people do more like 12-13 mins with that level of experience. Looks like you had one of those bikers that sits on your arse but will not go past, I had that my first trip there and found it very intimidating. Also the BMW coup looks just like the one that absolutly shot past me at around the same point on the track.

That GT2 was behind us from the begining and didn't pass us until I slowed down for the yellow flags (Orange warning lights at 7:40 and Marshall at 7:53). The blue car was DW1 who knows the track real well. The Z3M Coupe was a tit and totally cut my line, he was lucky I saw him and didn't side swipe him. Good Vid by the way J thumbsup

The one I met on track a few times also gave little regard to other cars. I know you should be looking in your mirros etc but I think the guy doing the overtaking needs to make sure the other guy has seen him before taking the line away from him, regardless of what the law says, alot don't.

nice video recon you could of had a bit faster if you didnt get stuck behind the 911 on last few bends. whats next years target? one thing i got told many moons ago was to keep your thumbs out of the wheel area as if you have a crash or steering wheeel whips around it will take your thumbs off.

I think more like 9mins for Steve and JJ next year looking at that vid. I did my 9m11s on about my 10th lap of second visit, did a few more after without cam mounted and no passenger which I suspect were sub 9mins.

I did between 10 and 11 mins in my fabia (didn't really make an effort to time exactly) and then went round with dw1 :o My aim on all my laps was to get round safely - did a JJJ wipe of the brow as I past the gantry on every lap :lol:
