Yep - I realised pretty much as soon as I got out of the gate what you meant. I also wondered why you were looking at the front wheels

Somehow I couldn't hear the grinding in the paddock.

All classic "new boy" errors I'm sure but we had a great day and a good laugh about it all on the way home so it was worth every penny. The new pads go on tonight and then the car should be fine. Like others have mentioned you've just got to love the versatility of this car. Simply great

I drove all the way back with no front pads, the car wasn't happy, luckly I had new rears on. Fortunately everything was fine.

I hate to say I told you so.

So now you've had the full trackday experience: day at the track, then long drive home with no brakes. All part of the fun.

My brakes were suprisingly good all day, with little fade and absolutely none of the typical Ferodo judder, until the trip home where they felt horribly spongey and juddery. Weird that.

Good stuff Chris, I think you take the last corner before the start / finish, very nicely in 3rd.

My car sounds a bit fruity at the end of the 1st clip!

Thanks mate. I began to take church properly right at the end of the day, always turning in too early. 108 was my max past the drums at school. Cam died early on though

.

Thanks for the passenger ride, great car and I'm glad you are happy with it. Didn't mean to cut the video short, there was a red flag just after peel anyway!
