Oulton looks good, I will use these vids for my race in June. Doesn't like like it would be fun in the wet though!
I'll testify to that! Actually, it's Druids on a drying track that's lethal (it's the slippiest corner, with a hump as you've spotted, and the last to dry out because it's in the shade). Despite giving it respect, I still ended up in the wall after a whopper of a tank slapper.

Looking forward to some race videos, make sure you get a decent mount or two set up! A pedalbox cam would be good for us viewers!
Will do!

Is this just because he's naturally talented? I'm sure if I tried this 'technique' me and my S would be on a gravel diet.

Knickerbrook moment at 3:58!
Richard Burns used to drive like that.

Fine until you have a moment!

Looks quick, but a ragged style often does. What sort of lap times compared to you LG? Suspect it's close.

Would have laughed if he over compensated at 3.58 and ended in the gravel. "why did you come off" "i was busy looking cool".

He may well have over compensated had he had two hands on the wheel, I thought he drove pretty well and seemed quite fast, that westie should have pulled over and let him by too imo.

Best was a 2:12.

See below for racing driver excuses!
No bucket seats
Road Tyres
Car not stripped out
First time at Oulton
Subwoofer and amps in the boot
Roof down for extra drag

Think that's it, or have I missed a really important one

Lol.

You missed 2 off your list:

You didn't have a trailer to tow the car home with if you smashed it up.

And because of the above you couldn't drive it like you hated it lol.

He's on here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/user/126812-stelongy/

He's on R888s which explains his much better lap times

Then that bloke from Emmerdale (Andy Sugden) turns up in his 430 Spyder and did about 30 laps!
Yeah with the hood up Bizarre as it was such a gorgeous day 430 sounded good dropping into Cascades too and on the run down to island bend.

Good to put names to faces. Lovegroova was lapping well.
I work with his Dad, he came to our place straight from Oulton Park and still had the roof up!!
Still, gorgeous car and gorgeous sound
