It was a trackday at Mallory in England. I'm proud of that bit. Sticking it to them in a FORD

Great Vid....How fast are you taking those corners, sounds like your in third.....40 - 70 MPH....? and when you pasted the Porsche, how fast was the passing speed?

It is difficult to tell speeds sitting in a cubical.....

My friend in the passenger seat said that down that straight (Kirkby) we were hitting 110mph. Round the sweeping bend (Gerards) was still forth gear, down to third through the s (Dunlop Esses), then down to second for the hairpin (Shaws), third for the Devils Elbow (which is off camber makes me nervous) and then its back down the straight.
I don't look at the speedo my self. It takes all my concentration driving the car. It was only 20 minute sessions. I have great admiration for proper drivers who do it for an hour or hours.
