Well I got to do a 20 minute untimed session on the iconic circuit, the car didnt fit my bulk too well and I was very uncomfortable plus the guy who was gonna take me round for a couple of familiarisation laps got stuck in gear so I was on me own in a car I had only just sat in for the first time on this 160mph banked circuit. I made the cardinal sin on the first lap and slipped below the yellow, the man was right yer don't wanna go there, frightening or what I really had to wrestle the bitch back up onto the banking. The brakes were aweful and I overshot the bus stop but git into it after a few laps learning to just nail it round the banks flat out and brake much earlier than I ever would in my Camaros. Anyone else driven this circuit. My mate did OK and put in the fastest lap in class and won the historic class. His son managed to find the tyre wall so we had to kick the sheet metal out and raced it again today.
