Windymiller Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) A perfect weather day, and really enjoyed the ~4mile lap length GT circuit, some great fast straights and plenty of bends / curves variety 👍🏻 And unusually runs anti-clockwise.... Some great carnography - Maclaren (not sure which one, they all look the same to me 😳), R8 spyder, Litchfield GTR, elises and exiges etc, handfull of 911s, and only 1 Cayman 😉 car was faultless, handling 200 track miles and returning me home without so much as a murmur 👍🏻 Edited January 18, 2020 by Windymiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the owners say the same of ‘us’.... 🤣 Awesome day by the sounds of it; and your car did you proud ! Was it a dry Track or ??? **Was bright but crisp here in Sunny Suffolk. (Made it to a whopping 7.5 degrees C at 1pm !). Imagine you actually managed to generate some heat in your tyres though 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hey 748, it was damp and greasy in places in the morning but a good line dried out throughout the day. with the length of lap, and the long straights (longest is 1km and was hitting 125-135mph on that one) the tyres warmed up quickly. Dropped them by 5-6psi (back down to book pressures) after my first session out and they seemed to stay at F:32 & R:34 all day and maintained grip pretty well 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough power in the sun to dry..... 😐 Did you / or anyone else get any action snaps of you strutting your stuff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Aye, MSV had their photographers around the track. Should receive an email mo day from them with a link to photos 👍🏻 I dont have any of that fancy in car go-pro tech - anyone watching it would think it was in slooooooow-moooooooo anyway 😉😆 Edited January 18, 2020 by Windymiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Sound like you had a great day @Windymiller. Sorry I couldn't make it over - I had to change the rear brakes in the morning and then decided to change he front anti vibration dampers and one of the damn things got stuck. I'm at Donington on Monday, hopefully this nice weather lasts until then! What times were you getting at Bedford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) No worries Dougle. Hope you got them sorted. I had one of the anti-vibe plates stick in a front calliper when I changed my pads last year. i think one of the ali ‘studs’ on the plate has possibly corroded into the piston barrel in the calliper. Couldn’t see how to get it out without taking the caliper off to get it on a bench, and I had no desire to start ‘breaching’ the brake fluid system. so I left that plate in for now. It’s doing it’s job still, but when I next replace the pads I’ll get a garage to do it and they can sort it. 👍🏻 I don’t time myself, I’m not quick and I’m just there for fun 😃 I was doing 40 mile lap stints, which seemed to take 30-35 minutes before I was tired and brakes were softening. At a ~4 mile lap that would be 10 laps in 30-35 minutes so I guess about 3’30 a lap? 🤷♂️ Edited January 19, 2020 by Windymiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
