Gav loves his 'Hash' tag

I think we have a good number of cars on track, thats just my thoughts but maybe a few more

I see what you did there.

I think the right mix and behaviour are far more important than numbers. I reckon LP could comfortably manage 30 cars with the back section open and no cones.

Between 25 and 30 cars is a good mix so long as everyone plays nice and drives similarly.

You will inevitably end up with a couple of newbies and a slightly slower car or two which is fine but with more cars on track that ends up meaning more traffic to sit in as the overtaking is limited at Lakeside.

I haven't got the guts yet to go on the track but I would be kinda a hazard as my 2slow golf cant get to 100km/h in under 10 seconds but i dont really want to stress that engine too much.

Maybe you should get that red gti?

We have had 2.slow's out before and they do fine.
So long as people stick to the rules and you acknowledge that there are faster cars and keep to the left so they can overtake it isn't an issue.

it was a very good run on track this time for me.

Wil be interesting to see how our's goes in the future as we may have to either get more cars/more passengers/slight increase in cost to keep it going.

I think it would be much better to increase the cost than allow the number of cars to greatly increas!

I know I would prefer to pay more and have a better time on track!

Nice vid Al. Much more interesting watching the rear view. Except it makes me car sick. Like being in the rear-facing seats at the back of our old station wagon when I was a kid.
I like watching the various contenders, especially the white Focus RS. What a beautiful car. I wish it were AWD.

Cheers Ben
It would have been a bit more interesting if the camera in front worked.
I'm going to post up the last 10 minutes tonight. It's got some great driving by Jed. That MK4 can move

Thanks Alan! Not as quick that GTI of yours mate.

I'm looking forward to this though, to see my lines and how my driving is progressing. It was great following you for a while to give me some guidance and a goal to keep up with. I had a hairy moment at Carousel (somewhere between about 20:00and the end of Alan's video I think) I thinkas well which you may have caught I think. My semislicks got veyr hot very quickly towards the end and caught me off guard I had to take it back a few notches after that...

The force was strong with you, Jed.

Al, good to see at 4:45 you started taking a serious lap. And you crossed over the ripple strips on entry to Karousel! :'D
