Nice video.

I spent a good few laps chasing GtMatchew in the afternoon on the open pitlane, that Glanza of his is very swish. The CT9 is great for response and most of the UK's small tracks.

I couldn't gain at all as I was much slower in the tighter corners but was faster on the straight than both of those :p

Yep, only 11 bhp, but it was enough to get past. I expect there was a good difference in torque though!

i still think he let you go by as he was still a bit in front of you at the bend and decided not to push you over the edge :p

:haha: Clearly. The rules were and I quote: "If a car behind you is faster, let them pass."

Everyone was cool with this, but I appreciate gtmatchew for giving it some welly, made our first time on track much more interesting! :rockon:

Well thats bullying :p cos it doesnt mean that if you are a bit faster you would be able to overtake as was the case with gtmatchew :p he just decided to let you by as you are running td04 as not to make you feel down against a ct9 :p:p:p

But it was a nice track day with some nice action wish we had a bloody track here to go to :mad:

nice vid dude, i presume the mx5 you mention was the blue one and not me? :p didnt notice it though?

to be honets on the track power was VERY hard to determin, a track more like castle combe or silverstone will seperate the higher power cars,
i was loving it! i had naff all power but supirior handling :D

I noticed i was faster than a fair few ct9s in the straights but i was slower than most in the corners so i just let people past as they dont wanna be sat behind a granny driver in the corners and not be able to get passed on the straights.

haha, almost seems like you know better than the track organisers who briefed us. :haha: When you get on track you'll understand why they have that rule. It makes good sense when you think about it from a fun and safety point of view.

Either way, I had a great day and wasnt out to prove anything or bully anyone ,just enjoy it!

Oh, that was the orange one that was on with us. I only mentioned him as he was breifly in the vid for a split second.

Yours was looking great though mate, I was gonna ask for a ride but you looked quite busy! Did the chap with the blue one have a chat with you? He took me out in his right at the end of the day. Theyre bloddy awesome round corners!! I want one even more now. :p

Defo up for Castle coombe at the end of April :)

ah you should of asked mate! and thanks :D
Yea i was talking to the guy in the blu one pretty much all day, i think he was pretty anoyed that his supercharged one was only a TINY amount faster than mine, not really enough to overtake me lol - i think it needs a decent map on it though and he was buring alot of oil lol i went out in his car too and to be honest felt exactly the same as mine! but it did sound better haha
