North Weald

[timbo]

I would like to say a big thankyou for a cracking day yesterday
I know everyone who competed had a good time and it was
great to see a good selection of Porsches doing what they were all
Intented to do
The organisers put on a good show and on reflection maybe Porsche Club GB
could learn from events like this where people can see these great cars put through
their paces
Thanks Des,Mel,Andy Steve & Co.

Roll on the next one

maybe Porsche Club GB could learn from events like this

I agree - well organised; good fun for the drivers; mildly frustrating for spectators (hopefully will have a GT3 before the next one..)

 

[Laurence Gibbs]

Agreed big thanks to Des and all the marshalls for all their efforts on the day. I had a great time even though my times were'nt great[]

 

[timbo]

Laurence,

my car spent half the time in the air with my rock hard suspension on that bumpy
infield airtrack - my times were shocking as well ( excuse no.102 )

[DESMO16]

Yes a big thanks to Des and all the organisers for a great day, well done Chaps[]

On a more sombre note, I woke up this morning feeling a bit battered and bruised, since although those old watercooled GT3's look like "Routemasters" they didn't arff kick our Arses[][]

Now where did I put that phone number of the guy I sold my GT3RS to!![][]

p.s Don,t worry Des, I'am not wobbling, just a bit of fun[]

You are not wrong with that statement... Proof of the altitude gained mid corner

There are more (loads) but if you are not in among this lot it could be because you weren't lairy enough []

A few more from the day...

I think we should have a caption competition with this shot (Des surveying the competition):

No Ollie,

This should be the caption competition;

Colin: "Now, where did I put those sheep?". [][][]

A top day out - and top weather too. Great bunch of guys, and all in the spirit in which it was intended. Good to put a few faces to names. Thanks to Des and all those who helped.

How about:-

I'll hedge my bets on this run

or

I've got a car I need to fence

or

Fencing....a sport for men.

or

GT3 or 964RS? Which side of the fence are you.

 

[pae]

Don't think you can add a caption to the pic of Des, looks like he's nodded off []

Great entertainment yesterday, thanks to all.

tim

Hey, Tim!! After all the comments from the GT3 owners about the 64RS's non existant suspension, that is meant to be our excuse[]

 

[Yoda]

I have to agree with Tim, what a fantastic day and a great bunch of guys. Huge thanks to all, it is for days like this I joined the Porsche club and my car. What a great day out.

Looking forward to the next event, whatever that happens to be!!

Brain: Ok you two down there, just remember your ABC - Accelerator Brake Clutch.
Feet: Uh???

 

[Ninemeister]

Steady........



Brain failure definitely the cause. Personally I think getting up at 3.45 to get to North Weald for 8.00 was probably 99% of the problem, but my racer's excuse is that at great expense I have just ordered a 993RS Cup ABS ecu to prevent the now notorious ABS shutdown problem of the standard ecu on bumpy surfaces.

Cracking photos of mine & Timbo's car launching over the hump at the apex on the first test - I knew is was a big one but did not think we would see so much air under the tyre.
