Put this in my build thread but I'll stick it here too for the track guys. Really liking how the car felt on track this time so I'm really looking forward to meeting up at Cadwell





Another Civic from the day








Couldn't keep up with this one for some reason

After seeing the result of a Saxo going off around Pif Paf and end up with a dent in every side I was fairly cautious though the middle sections though the day.

Drive by - all intake sound whisper quiet exhaust haha

Formation driving with two other Civics I met on the day, was great fun, felt like BTCC! Unfortunatly I had to go in as I'd already been out a while

New improved (more stable) suspension shot

Finally random driving with foot cam - was first time trying left foot braking on track so its fairly terrible haha.

No dodgy moments this time unlike Oulton [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Like the different camera shots don't look bad with the left foot either, i have no control over the left side of my body at all! everytime i try it i nearly end up through the window

Learn to left foot brake on the road - Its alot easier to then apply that to the track for trail braking etc

I try all the time in the work van of all things which has crap brakes and its either all or nothing, i suppose it doesn't help i have big clumsy steel toe caps on though half the time

I still cant do it properly although am getting better - come track days I just go out and abuse the car and forget to try it out

Cheers guys, Kipps speaks the truth, practice bits on the road like when approaching speed bumps. Its hard to use in cars without a sequential box though, I could only use it here as those sections didn't need to change gear.

I still dont even bother with heel and toe on the downshifts like you do

Cool sounds good mate, you are definitely a lot braver than me though

Obviously I meant at cadwell (I seem to have forgotten to type that part in the previous message )

I wouldnt say it being brave myself, Its having the knowledge and confidence the car can do those sort speeds through the corners (the weak link is always me as the driver )

Thats true, I'm looking forward to Cadwell it looks like a great track
