Hi Piers,

Just a quickie...........;-)

Been watching your drive ( on my friend Claire's PC here in the USA ) and that was awesome.

She says your driving is great ( as do I ) and you go into the corners far deeper than the other guys who against you are amateurs.

Take care

Paula

Thanks.. With my setup I can carry a lot of speed into the corners..
The cars are on track at 10am in the morning and 2pm in the afternoon.. They say sign on happens at 9am & 1pm.. I'll bring a spare helmet but if you have one bring it along...

Awesome, what race battery is that you are using and how much weight are you saving over a regular one?

Its a Red Top battery and probably saves 10Kgs alone.. It all helps....

The vids are great Piers, and your driving certainly outshines the other cars out there... it seems like the others are on a sunday outing

I have a little request....

Watching those vids, you just don't get the feeling of the actual speed.. it looks a lot slower than it really is..
It would be great if there was like a split screen with the speedo showing, maybe a wider angle, or a second camera, and merge the vids..

or summat like

I know what you mean but its complicated to get two cameras setup.. I'd be braking from 100mph plus into some of those hairpins... and others corners I'd be taking at 80mph plus...
