Lakeside Breakfast Laps - 12 October 2014

[Coxy09]

Thanks to Clay for organising a great event. Obviously I would like to do more than 2 laps next time but I kinda knew that would happen, at least I have a bench mark for my coming improvements to steering and stopping. For those who are unaware I have a black turbo petrol Amarok which is plenty fast in a straight line and predictably woeful over rises/dips and around corners. At very moderate speeds traction control was having a field day, regardless great to see everyone out and enjoying themselves.

I was watching that Amarok closely when we first went out, I couldn't work out how on earth you were still keeping up with all of us on that back straight, we weren't doing anything silly but we weren't hanging around either…..but yes, to back up what you were saying, it was pretty bl**dy quick!

Great morning, thanks Clay. Nice to chat with a few guys afterwards as well. So many of you with various tunes means I'm going to have to give Gavin a call soon

Thanks Clay for a great morning and as always thanks to my main man Wolfie for letting me aim his SLK at walls for half an hour!

Felt like I had a good run yesterday, definitely improved since the first time I took the car out a few months ago. Looking forward to the next one that we get out to.

I was sitting behind you for ages, your car went very well, I was impressed!

Hope I didn't hold you up at all, wife in the passenger seat was a bit nervous... But your car hoots!

Thanks everyone for playing nice and safe out there, Lakeside were kind enough to let us have 35 minutes due to our club's good reputation.
I tried to upload some in car footage last night but youtube apparently won't take files over 15 minutes for regular users.......

Keenly awaiting Rhys's photos and video (yellow DS3)

I think having the new chicane setup was really good too as it didn't bunch the cars up and let the traffic flow a lot smoother.

Also congrats to Keaton in the SLK, i followed you a few laps and you are definitely getting more comfortable behind the wheel of that beasty.




I am calling up now to find out when the next one can be held and will post the new thread at 6pm tonight.

Thanks again Clay for organising these! Everyone seemed to be really well behaved from my perspective. I only stayed on for about 20 minutes because my friend wanted to take some pictures from trackside. My miniscule 150hp is starting to show though on the front straight, thanks again to the people who slowed down a little for me to get past on the straight so I wasn't held up through the back of the track. The new chicane setup is SO much better and I believe it still slows down people enough to keep the event safe.

Sorry for taking a while to upload pictures and videos. Here is my onboard;

I think Dad said he got some video from trackside as well as pictures so I'll sort those out and upload some of the good ones tomorrow.

Lol at all the love Keato is getting...
I didn't really get to see, but sounds like it went well! I put it down to the new livery...
I'll tell you one thing that I'm coming to realise now that I am finally getting more comfortable throwing this thing around, and getting used to the ceramics...I REALLY need sport seats, STAT. I'm sliding all over the interior lol...
