    The spoiler got damaged by some debris on the track, I've got a bit of work to do to fix it up again.

    Otherwise a great day, pretty evenly matched field and perfect weather.

    Just looked at the official results over on natsoft. I ran pretty consistent 2:09 - 2:10 sort of times today.

    Don't think there was much scope for improved driving to pick up much time, that's about as fast as it goes. Analysing the log data will tell me if I could have done any better.

    hey pete, i remembered you were using green-stuff pads previously.

    two questions for you...

    1. how did you find them performance wise? and would you recommend them for a street/track mk1
    2. do you know what part no. or model i should provide when ordering them (i have mk1 gti front brakes)

    thanks mate!

    Nope, using the Redstuff pads.

    I've got a set of Greenstuff pads for GTI calipers at home, they're about the be fitted to a street car.

    I'll look up the numbers and let you know.

    Reds are great on the track, last well and don't fade, pulling -1.2Gs under brakes.

    Was previously running Mitex Red Box, they stopped OK but they wore out so quick I was changing them every before race day.
