Perfectly staight, once I knew the game was up, it was straight wheel, an instant flash came to me about turning cars turning over in Gravel if you get it sideways on. All good now ....[]

Yes, it was probably the safest thing to do. I would probably have made an attempt to cut the corner getting the car to turn which may have ended up going sideays into the gravel. Are all 3 of those marks yours? Did you have the car at a slight angle at all?
These are the videos I took, start at the bottom to watch them in chronological order.

Thanks, I emailed it to publications@porscheclubgb.com Does anyone have Stephen Mummerys email address they could send me please? I failed to find it...
Sure, although I'm not sure the quality is good enough. They were only took with a Sony cybershot dsc-p120 3megapixel digital camera clamped onto a seat. Would you like them converted to raw avi or mpeg2 dvd style? Maybe you'd prefer them (unedited) just as they came from the camera in mpg? I left my Porschefile at work [] I'll forward the email to Stephen Mummery. Thanks John.
] I'll forward the email to Stephen Mummery. Thanks John.I'd like to thank everyone involved for an absolutely wonderful novice trackday. I'm a true novice, never been on a track before, and had butterflies as big as Labradors doing somersaults in my stomach whilst I was waiting in the pit lane for the first session. Once we got rolling the runs were even more exhilarating than I could possibly have dreamt off but driver safety and etiquette was superlative too. I would recommend the experience to anyone. My car, a poverty spec six-year-old Boxster 2.7 tip (plate FM03 XXX) would be nobody's first choice as a trackday weapon but it performed admirably, so if you don't have a Turbo, GT2, GT3 etc don't let that stop you - get out there, you will love it. Please Porsche Club GB, run another event like this soon!
Don't worry about the quality. I've seen the run off from Dave's bullet cam now and its isn't crystal so we will most likely be doing some picture in picture or similar to compress it. The on track elements are going to take a lot of editing but we have a fair amount to work with. If you would send me yours, unedited in its base format this should provide the least compression. If we can't work with that we will then go for a converted file. Dave is keen to get on to the first edit so as soon as you can get the material to me the sooner we can see if we can work it in.ORIGINAL: nathan 1981 930 G50 Sure, although I'm not sure the quality is good enough.

Simon, I have been trying to build on this "Novice Session" and help put together a Novice + 1 ........... watch this space .......... don't worry your Boxster will keep up and pass most cars on the Indy! [

I think I might have phrased that in a slightly different manner! I was absolutely stunned by the grip I was getting in my Boxster - I was certain we'd be off into the grass when twice I forgot to brake going into Graham Hill Bend! There's some visible scrub on my Pirellis P Zeros but nothing serious.
This sounds like a great idea, I'd sign up immediately. Thanks re the comment about the Boxster but I was further over towards the right than Nick Griffin on the straights with my indicator permanently on. And got passed more times than London tap water. More my inability than the car's though! Here are some photos I took during the event (I'm afraid my mind was more on the driving).ORIGINAL: carreraboy Simon, I have been trying to build on this "Novice Session" and help put together a Novice + 1 ........... watch this space .......... don't worry your Boxster will keep up and pass most cars on the Indy!

1.Pindi 2. Jon Grindall 3. Chris Greenwich 4. Surinder 5, Chris Spyderman Where were you all then??? Trust those that did ride enjoyed the trip -I only had one screamer!![] Just a small tip which did cause some problems -it's safer to reverse INTO the garage from the pit lane, and not vice-verce!![]

I'll send them asap to the club office as they came off the camera on a DVD as individual files.ORIGINAL: John SimsDon't worry about the quality. I've seen the run off from Dave's bullet cam now and its isn't crystal so we will most likely be doing some picture in picture or similar to compress it. The on track elements are going to take a lot of editing but we have a fair amount to work with.

Mel, I was getting ready for my first session (2nd group) when I saw your car on the trailer and I thought you were leaving. After completing my first session I saw your car on the track. After that I didn't see you or missed you when you came into the pits. I was quite looking forward to the ride. Your car looked superb on the track. Will you be doing the same at some other track day? SurinderORIGINAL: Melv 1.Pindi 2. Jon Grindall 3. Chris Greenwich 4. Surinder 5, Chris Spyderman Where were you all then???

Melv Time between first and second runs was tight, and as I was in Group three there was no time after the second run. I could see you were off to the pub! I did get a few laps in the afternoon with Des (he was still steering round corners at that stage) Next time though? - and there will definitely be a next time! Thanks to everyone involved Jon
Yes such was the success, Three groups were needed .......... to be honest the Cup Car laps are nothing like a lap with Carreraboy![]
