Hopefully you got some of me shaking down the GBH S14.5

First time in car, which isnt mine and is worth alot more than my GT3 !!
First time at Lydden which has go-kart track amounts of run off
Settings were a total guess to begin with and didnt suit the car - hence its issues at Donny and if anything we had gone a bit more the wrong way.
Broke the driveshaft on my 7th lap in the first session - sorry Bob :oops: :oops: :oops: which meant we missed the 2nd session

Managed to cling on to Zak a bit better in the 3rd session

Changed a few more settings and decided to feel out the brakes a bit

Didnt do too bad a job of staying with Mr Bly in the 4th session until his 12" slicks got full temp and he started to pull about 0.5 - 1sec/lap out of me and then a small power steering leak come up the windscreen and I took it as a sign to finish the day 3 minutes early !! Rons lot were most surprised !!

All in all not a bad way to spend a bank holiday monday as a paid for racing driver !! :D :D

First session times were 51 - 52 secs and pretty consistent which was nice
Second session times were all low 49sec and a couple of 48.9's
Last session times were consistent very low 48 second laps a 48 dead was the best I think - days been a bit of a blur, and Ive got sunstroke !!!

Didnt push more than about 85% or heel/toe or really get into the braking zones too heavily, so plenty more to come !!, got to be well sub 1.20 at Snett I reckon comparing to the Porsche.

Top day out, event was really good with a lovely mixture of cars and types of racing, and I now know all I need to know about buying an RS200 if I ever feel the need !!! ;) :D
