    over 110mph 3 times on the fast laps and even tickling it along, it's doing 100 or so on the straights. There are also 3 hefty stops at those speeds, with the biggest being 120-30 and the other 2 being 115-60 but as they're well spaced, I could manage 3 really hard laps before the fade started and I had to back off for a lap and let everything cool off... including me! Yes, bigger brakes would help but then I couldn't put the 16s on and go old skool for winter

    Here's another vid of a car going round and round a track. There are some slidey moments in the esses on this one (this was the session before I did my half spin )

            You can't hear the valve much on the video. Opened it up for a lap or two and when overtaking someone who had held me up If you turn up the sound then you can tell the difference.

            Needs more front grip really - big rear bar and front track tyres were ok but it could have taken more; would require stronger rear brakes to counter it though. I think the HnRs are shown up a bit on track for being too soft at the rear and a little squishy on turn in. Some Avant fronts would improve matters I think (did put up a wanted thread but rarity means I haven't found any yet).

                I'm actually showing the marshal that my helmet is properly done up but don't let the facts get in the way of a good story
