I met up with Duncan, Rachel and Annabel yesterday evening down at the ring...

It's my first trip to the ring and my first impression when I arrived at the car park was that it was much smeller than I expected with whey fewer cars than I expected.
But of those cars, there was a real mix....

I saw Duncan pull in from a lap and go for a little cool down drive down the road.

Then in he pulled into the car park, pulled over told me to grab a lid and out we'd go!
All strapped in we went through the barriers through the chicane of cones and then off....
now despite Duncan and I competing in the same series and traveling and meeting up at all ends of the country, I had never sat in his car let alone been for a passenger lap.
First impressions of the car pulling away were great.. I guess there was a similar feeling in power, however I did notice a big difference with the rev band Duncan has to mine.
Duncan's car also felt very compliant, but with little noticeable roll. I have to say very nice....
BUT that is where nice ends.....

Sad thing is, i've worked 1.5 hours away for the last 2 years and only really discovered it the week i return back to the UK for work! :oops: :x

Oh dear :!:

I worked in Cologne for 3 years and we used to nip down after work in the week for a couple of laps then go for a pizza/beer and drive back through teh Eifel as the Sun was setting....absolutely awesome times

another case of ringworm

Loved the Passenger laps I had with Dunk when we went the Nuburgring. :-D

Total commitment by Dunk and I learnt few better lines at the same time :-D
