m8.. fast 'n' smooth for 95% of the time.. except during my 2 indiscretions.. once when Rog was PAX.. brings out the worst in anyone and secondly towards the end of the sess' where I was chasing you down.. What can I say..

Steve - Just watched your big movie again. Some nice shots of 8LUR pulling away.. I'm just glad you didn't have paddle changes..
I see that black Caterham and red Alfa Junior were holding you up as well.. not sure if it was inexperience or perhaps they just didn't like our German road cars poo-pooing their party... for about 2-3 laps I lost loads of time because of them - that Caterham wouldn't budge over on the straights.. funny as he was trying, as we all saw, when he spun out at the hairpin.. (not that I'd ever do such a thing).
Took me a while to get into a flow and probably shaved about 5-10 secs off my times by the avo.. great day.. great fun. Only then did I overstep the boundaries on the tyres. Perhaps I shoudl have played with pressures byt the B'stones just washed out a bit early in places. Was getting no more than 106 on the straights with Yosh in pax.. a 17 stone weight penalty made for about 10-15 mph deficit on the straight aways....
Was impressed when you rolled out your good wheels for the event.. but can be an expensive way to do it.. I'd buy a set of spares for track if you're going to do it reguarly.

Don't think so Tob - got it on film - they'll have been the Elises I was catching routinely then... They were being driven (how can I put it) 'conservatively' and really slow straight line.. Yosh and Rog will confirm.
By the avo 8LUR probably 2nd or 3rd fastest car on the day - can't take the credit - it's all her... Was a lot of slower cars (particuarly the Alfisti, Caterhams and 2CV) so you tended to bunch up as there we were only allowed to overtake on the straights and not under braking - which is a pity as 8LUR was braking nicely.
Paul only really fast car on the day and you could tell he was still learning with her.. Also a Pulsar GTI-R and a Clio Sport that were none too shabby and Neil Menzies in his Chimera was pretty fast in small stints but he was never out long enough to follow properly. 911 was being driven slow - which was a pity!
You'd have gutted most of the pack in your project M3 Tob.

Best part was she coudl go out for 20-30 laps without complaint as the Alpfas, TVRs, 7s and Lotuses cooled off in the paddock..

They are hopefully running another event this summer and I expect the Scottish_Elises will attend in force.

Aye Paul - if Tut and Co. go then we'll see some proper fast Elises.. not the granny drivers we saw..
Colin is talking about a sports car event and I suggested he get good support from the Lotus, TVR and POrsche boys to ensure good numbers and then bring in some ad hoc stuff. Should be good.
I'm still mulling over the 323 Turbo
