] As you say, fantastic time and from what I could see a good standard of driving exhibited by all. Suprisingly for me, I didnt get black flagged for noise (I have learnt and short shifted down the pit straight but dont tell anyone[])

] I think someone timed Tim doing a 1.54 (quicker than the Ginetta by 2 seconds) on that 2nd lap....pity the session was red-flagged...would have been interesting to see how quick the car could actually go (pointless timing me as my driving is pretty average[&o] but I do have fun []).]

Apologies to all those who I didn't really get chance to have a good chat to. Having arrived over an hour late due to traffic, the rest of the evening was rather manic to say the least! Some entertaining laps (was a little slippy in places!) were enjoyed however, the highlight being when Tim took my Uncle out....drove it through Coppice sideways and got him to throw up out of the side of the car after only 2 laps! AWESOME![
To quote my friend David who was there on his first ever trackday (silver Maseratti)...."mmm, it's certainly entertaining isn't it!"[

[:-] That was rather cruel of you Matt, to send him out with me knowing he'd already been a bit queasy with you! [

Er, yes - just thought I had better point out that the chap doing the timing was a trackday newbie, and a spectator/passenger, not a driver, he hadn't heard the briefing and didn't know timing isn't allowed. We didn't know he had timed anyone until he came and told us the times! [8|]
But... Matt's car would definitely go faster, I reckon a 1:49 or better is possible! I had literally done two laps with Matt's uncle, then came in under a red; then I gave someone else a ride for three laps then I took an instructor colleague of mine, Howard Hunt, for a ride in it and just managed two laps before the chequered flag came out, and it was the second of those two that was timed - first one was an out lap and the last was an in! There very little chance of me really getting dialled into the car,and the track was very 'green' after the earlier downpour, not to mention the damp patch at Coppice!
Did anyone mention the sound it makes? Awesome! [
] Unless that information could be extracted live at the time and was being used to record lap times, it's not a problem. ]
