Awards for 31-07-10 At the very end of yesterday, Nigel was reminded about some awards which he hadn't given out at lunch and I was therefore awarded first prize for most spins/pirouettes, having managed 2 in 2 laps. I do however think there are more worthy nominees out there, and suggest the following:
The nominees for putting most on the line are: Nigel - who's 1.8 Sonic might have been beaten by a 1.6 Rocket if the event had been timed Scott - an individual who bought 2 vehicles & put the prettiest car through its paces on track Paul - for being prepared to expose his fiance to such an uncouth crowd And the winner is SCOTT!
The best passenger award nominees are: Joy - for her first hot laps despite numerous track days Alex - for being the youngest with the best fitting overalls Richard - who didn't bring his Westfield And the winner is ALEX!
The newest car nominees are: Paul - who's shiny aluminium work was clearly very new, and he bought most relatives too Andy - who bought his finished but not yet SVA'd car & it didn't break until the end Stuart - who had much more than a rolling chassis, but quite a bit off a finished car Mark - who boasts a deposit and nothing else so far but still turned up And the winner is MARK!
As I only have the one award to give out, I will be at Llandow on 18-09-10 and will give it to the first winner to claim it from me! Thanks to many many people for a great day out & hope to see you soon.

What a day... Absolutely fantastic. Can we do another next month?
Perfect opportunity with a great bunch of people to put your car through it's paces. Ideal track as more about corners than outright speed. Could not recommend it more.
Will do a write up on my car later but overall very pleased with how it worked..

What a fantastic day! Thanks to the organisers, Nigel, MEV and RTR for making this happen, (did you order the good weather we had on Saturday too? ;D) Please line this one up for next year, its not to be missed. Could we even squeeze two in for good measure? It was great to finally meet some of the forum members and put names to faces...I'll see most of you at Stafford next month. I managed to capture 5Gb of video through the day, some repetitive but some very interesting. As soon as I figure out how to post video I'll sort out the best bits. In the meantime here are some on-board stills. Cheers... ;D

OK, here's one of the first and maybe it should be in the Technical Section. I took a rear facing video of the engine to see how much engine movement there is under harsh acceleration and braking. If you can see the video in high resolution you should make out the gearbox engine mount movement and even the expansion tank filling up and losing some water!.....more to come...
Note; Unedited...forward to 2:30 for start of the lap.
For the best view select full screen and then 720P HD on the lower right of the window.
