May Sprints - QR (23/4) or Lakeside (3rd & 31st)

[seangti]

Hi, any one keen on doing sprints (trackdays) at Lakeside in May?

Lakeside has May 3rd (sunday) and 31st (sunday).

I'm going to do one, just haven't decided which. If anyone else is keen, I'll join you.

Just realised I can't make the QR one.

Anyone going to QR this Wednesday?

Just did last Saturday at Lakeside with the resurfaced track (with the Porsche club) - AWESOME

How do I take part without previous experience?

I may be come out for a looksee.
Jay in the G60Mk2 may finally take his car out on the track. Just a few little bits to finish off on the little beast.
Guy!! Do you have any lap times from your time out at Lakeside by any chance?
Cheers guys, May see you out there.

Best at lakeside was 1.02.08 (soooo close to a 1.01 - I could smell it!) takes a lot to get used to that new track surface and all our markers of where to turn are now missing

I was pretty cautious as my mate ripped the left front wheel off his 930 a few weeks ago, and another friend rearranged his 964RS into the armco in the second session as well

Wow, thats movin Guy. Well done. The Orange R8 was out on sunday and did a 1.02.1 (full slicks) so you seem to be on pay with him. There is a lot more in that car but i can't blame him for taking it easy. At 275k+, i would take it easy as well.
Yes certainly the new track is very nice. So much grip, all i need now is more power as grip seems to be no problem at all. I did my best time out there last Sunday as well. Did a 1.04.8 in my Ibiza Cupra. Not bad i reckon, since its only pushing 95KWatw.

pay

I meant "PAR"
Sorry

Good numbers mate - in that little Ibiza

Sprints were good fun - Golf ran really well. Takes a bit to get used the the Clubman & sprint tracks (I mostly do the international circuit).

Had a lot of fun messing with an XR8 with a turbo stuck on it.

Also found out what its like to have a front tyre blow out at ~ 180

Anyway - should have the old girl patched up for Wakefield next weekend!
