Wreck to Race.

Rain in session 4?

Yep got real greasy. I spun out and had to be towed out of the mud.

A clubman went into a tyre wall seconds before I went off.

It's all on video.....coming soon....

Bummer! Better getting bogged than bending your ride though. Thats the only problem with the Island, the weather is a little crazy.

Managed to get a perfect lap? ( no rain etc)

What is the improvement with the big brakes and LSD etc?

[Peter Jones]

Looks like I placed! There were only 3 cars in my class, so I got third!

The first 3 rounds were pretty good, the cars were well classed and I had some clear runs.

Track was cold but dry. Didn't use the brakes as much or as hard as I do at Sandown.

LSD is a big help.

My buddy said there was a heap of Puegots there today. I wounder if they organised it throuh a forum...

[Peter Jones]

Heaps of Pugs and some very quick ones at that. There was a turbo V6 505 in my class, crazy fast!

I didn't manage to get round 1 on video, I forgot to hit the record button!

Round 2 Got stopped (Red Flag) and the re-started.

Here's the first attempt at Round 2.

I'm experimenting with putting a speedo and Tacho in front of the camera.

Didn't work as well as I'd hoped the displays are multiplexed and the frame rate of the camera does weird stuff I need to figure out.

The speedo I could only calibrate at 60Km/h so it's a bit off when it's reading 177 it's roughly 189 or so.

Here's something interesting.

I'm playing about with a fast GPS receiver. The accuracy is pretty good.

Here's a screen grab of the corner where I spun out.
