Has anyone got any good quality footage in car?
Can't find anything good on YouTube.
Just like to brush up before I go.
Hopefully will have some HD footage of the day!

I would say get one session of tuition, the instructor I had on the BAT day was very skilled for this track and made a big difference to getting round, knocking some 7 seconds off my lap time. 
The critical parts are the two chicanes, they will affect hugely your lap time as after each one its basically flat out for a decent time to the next slow corner.
If you want some longer video let me know and I will put more laps online
I have full 20 mins with the instructor recorded as well as a later 15 minute session where the clip I posted came from.
Who is organising the event, might see about poping up at lumch time to say hello as I am only in Bristol just down the road (relatively)

Thanks chaps.
Starlight, it's organised by Westover Lotus, near me. It's a sessioned event which i'm not looking forward to, but it was cheap 8am til 4 pm.
If you pop over it would be good to meet you - bring the Porsche!
Looking at some laps, there really isn't much run off Good job i'm covered.

The BAT day was sessioned and was actually better than an open pit day because they kept it to 12/13 cars maximum on the circuit in each session and if you dropped off the back a bit you had all session with no traffic
I will deffinately pop round between 12.30-1.30 on Thursday, will be in the Porsche anyway as it is my daily drive
