From that then I guess afternoon drivers can sign in any time so long as they are there for the afternoon briefing at 1.00pm? 1.00pm being the time on the Javelin attachment I just downloaded form the rally site.
And are Javelin or you guys sending us those instructions direct or do I need to copy the download to all 6 I have booked in as drivers… ? I will probably send on to then anyway… no excuses then!!!
Carole aka Mrs admin sent out instructions to those who pre paid on Saturday evening… they should be arriving shortly. As far as you go, she sent a covering letter and 3 lots of instructions, 1 for each car…you will have to do another 3 copies for your second drivers… sorry about that.
Reserved and pay on the day guys/girls can download and print but we will have copies on the day
Oops nearly forgot… yes - sign in can be done anytime before the 1pm safety brief
well here’s hoping the rain stops for tomorrow, not to fussed about a wet track but not sure i’ll fit in my car with a helmet on if the roof has to be up.
Woo, what an afternoon. I had a great time but my tyres didn’t hehe. maybe the TC wouls have helped a little but where’s the fun in that? No matter tho i have a fresh set waiting to go on. I’ve never driven so close to the edge before really, could feel the car shifting around on the track so much but it never felt like it was going to go anywhere but where it was pointing. My lines were no where near perfect most of the time but it wasn’t a race so who cares, it was just great great fun,even when the heavens opened and we were engulfed in rain. I turned my TC back on for the wet, there was so much standing water and my confidence in the wet was low to start with, as the standing water cleared and a drier line appeared i turned the TC off again and the car still felt really grippy, a couple of small tail out moments in the slow corners putting my foot down to early but no spins… which was nice.
all in all a fantastic experience, i just wish i could afford to do more track days…
It was better in the wet because you didn’t know which end of the car was going to slide first; particularly round the long right hander leading to the straight with transitions from concrete to tarmac (with paint lines) then back to concrete - John was having a good chuckle behind me in the first morning session. I achieved my objective of finishing off my R888s, got down to the canvas and they ended up looking like old threepenny bits with the carcass moving out of shape. Timing was perfect, we got the road tyres on just before the afternoon deluge and had some swimming practice. Car ran like clockwork all day - thanks to Leigh for sorting out the fuelling.
