I had a ride round on Friday in the yellow Westie, it's running about 280 brake and laps the international circuit in 1.48, very very quick, beats my time there by about five seconds and felt fantastic :heart:

This dude tends to use 'one handed driving', especially around Old Hall and even at Shell Oil hairpin.

Is this just because he's naturally talented? I'm sure if I tried this 'technique' me and my S would be on a gravel diet.

Knickerbrook moment at 3:58! :ohmy:

I bet he was the coolest dude at Oulton that day. :cool:

One handed driving even the Stig cant do that. wow.

Would have laughed if he over compensated at 3.58 and ended in the gravel. "why did you come off" "i was busy looking cool".

Oulton looks good, I will use these vids for my race in June. Doesn't like like it would be fun in the wet though!

I'll testify to that! Actually, it's Druids on a drying track that's lethal (it's the slippiest corner, with a hump as you've spotted, and the last to dry out because it's in the shade). Despite giving it respect, I still ended up in the wall after a whopper of a tank slapper.

Looking forward to some race videos, make sure you get a decent mount or two set up! A pedalbox cam would be good for us viewers!

The bump at Druids is so bad when you catch it straight on that my speedo was jumping when i went over it as the front wheels lifted slightly off the ground!

Richard Burns used to drive like that.

Fine until you have a moment!

Looks quick, but a ragged style often does. What sort of lap times compared to you LG? Suspect it's close.

He may well have over compensated had he had two hands on the wheel, I thought he drove pretty well and seemed quite fast, that westie should have pulled over and let him by too imo.

Lol.

You missed 2 off your list:

You didn't have a trailer to tow the car home with if you smashed it up.

And because of the above you couldn't drive it like you hated it lol.

He's on here: http://www.s2ki.com/...26812-stelongy/

He's on R888s which explains his much better lap times
