Demon-tweeks tomorrow!

Awoohoo! Going to get all my gear, it will be a fun fun day :-D.

The other side of it is, it's another 320 miles on the good old Caterham, it will be touching 1650 by the time I get home :-D.

Also have another track day booked for this Friday, so more video coming :-).

Next video, same day, but this time chasing a porsche :-D

Yeap, chasing a porsche, eventually overtaking it. The main gain against the Cayman (not a 911) was under braking after the straight, and through the chicane.

Video from friday is...

Uploading! At last! After two days of playing around with video files, formats, and eventually editing, the video is on it's way to online. I upgraded to Final Cut Express, and there was a steeper learning curve than expected... However, with some help from my brother, and some patience and time online, I have it sussed, and more (better) videos will be forthcoming.

488 minutes until it's done uploading apparently... o_O

That was the best day I've had since I picked up the car!

Fantastic day at the track today! Spent the day learning the car, and competing with 2 fellow Academites who were there. Fantastic... Video will be up as soon as I get through it all... wont be long, tonight for sure.

There were some photographers there, so I got a usb filled with some of my car, some keepers some meh ones, here are the best two!

2nd corner, full blown 50-60mph left hander.

ARDS test done!

The whole of group one has passed the ARDS test, and we're all certified racing drivers!

I think that's the most fun I've had during a test ever. There was a super greasy skid pad, which honestly was the most fun anyone could ever have in a 4 door e36 316i... 360s are fantastic :-D.

The track driving section was also brilliant, being the first track time I've had in a couple years, it took some getting use to again.

Soon I should be heading to Demon Tweaks to get my racing gear, and hopefully by the end of February I'll be doing my first track day in the Caterham! :-D
