orly???

Jealous much?

[Machine]

Thank you Confucius

You're welcome, my son.

Lol not really. Much rather have my car. E92s DO sound good (as I said to someone on the day), but I think the RS 4.2 sounds better.

[Wolfman101]

Also, the cones were knocked down from the start right?

[Machine]

Edhem, nice footage. Al, why'd you slow down on the straight at 7-something in part 1? Waiting for Migs so you can block him?
Fei almost went off at the end of part 1. Good recovery. BTW, the managers have mentioned that if you go off once during happy laps, you're not welcome back. Just FYI

Yes, they had some lying down to make it clear which path to take through.

[Machine]

Edhem, kudos for slowing down at 1:55 in part 2. You made my TDI look that much faster. What an image of the R8 chasing a diesel Polo. Awesome.

Looks like you got a few clean laps in there as well. Schweet.

I'm hoping everyone had enough space despite the cones at the back. I'd like to see just a little more speed through there...

[Wolfman101]

Sorry about that Edhem-I felt bad about that at the time. I think I squeezed in a bit close in front of you on the straight. Honestly I just wanted to keep watching Machines lines.

Wasn't me at that point, it was my twin CCR

Even if swerving for rabbits (either in attack or avoidance mode?

I'll post some video in the next few days of your lines as I followed you for a few laps. They were mostly ok through carasel and eastern loop, between the witches hats and hungry you aren't on a racing line (whether you were trying to be on line is a different matter, you may not have been). Sticking too far right on the sweeping left down hill, really want left hand wheels against the ripple strip, than across the far right when entering hungry, tyres almost on the white lines.

Ben had a video with a bloke giving tuition, he tells you to aim for the lights at the bottom of hungry on the RHS, that'll give a straight line down the hill. I make a bit of an arc of the run downhill so I get on the brakes in a straight line with the car settled, Ben takes it a bit more of a dogleg approach if I recall. I'm probably sacrificing a little pace on my approach, but feels less risky should you make a mess of braking at the bottom and darting off the back of the track.

As you enter hungry, that's the 90 degree left hander, there's a square patch of dark bituman about 1m from right hand side, that's my turn in marker, front right hitting that patch. You were hitting it I think, but from straight rather than tight on the right side of the track coming across.

*note I'm referring to committed laps occuring during sprint events not happy laps. But if you get the lines right during HL, it immediately flows better anyway.

No problem, I made sure my sister followed the rules
Towards the end, it cleared up for us. Tried to push the car a bit more, but ended up powersliding in corners.

No problem at all. I did notice it was close, but all went well.

[Wolfman101]

Thanks for the input Sean.

[Migs]

Thanks Benjamin for organizing this. I cant believe you didnt include me on your footage though

That's because you call me Benjamin, when clearly my name is Machine.
The video started automatically when I crossed the start/stop line, so it didn't get the first slow lap. Either I should start my video manually or you should wait another lap before you overtake. I'm thinking the latter.
