Stu, we need some more tapes - Dunk has em

- and we can set this up everytime chap ... it worked well ..

Great driving and great sound - you scythed through the traffic

I'll get the reverse camera down too later - notice how much you car flexes - i.e. there is no play in the camera mount - just your windscreen moving - when you see the reverse view you'll see what I mean.

Thanks so much Ben :lol: I do like a spin at Russells. One day I'll be able to get through there with just a whiff of lock and mucho speed. That day may be a long time coming

Thanks

My last outing at Snetterton in December was actually quite a bit faster than that and there is far more to learn about how to get the best out of the car and driver. I hope to be around the 1'20" flat mark by the middle of the year. Not bad for about 240 at the wheels and 1250kgs including me.

It really is one of the most under rated circuits. It has great facilities, a very smooth surface with loads of grip, plenty of run off and some of the highest speed corners anywhere in the country.

I love the track and go there as regularly as I can.

The last time i went to snet the norwich straight ran along side the A11 shows you my age lol!A good friend of mine malcolm sears crashed his sunbeam tiger at the end of the straight and hit a concrete block,he suffered bad head injurys.That was around 1971/72 time.

I have seen photos of the 'old' layout although I have only driven the existing set up. With the circuit being changed again in the near future (2009/2010) it will be interesting to see whether the alterations to the track make it more popular.

I certainly hope that it gets sustained financial support from Dr Palmer. The promised race school, hotel and business park will make a big difference to its public perception and will boost local economy.
