06/07/14 - Knockhill Hot Hatch @ JapFest

06/07/14 - Knockhill Hot Hatch @ JapFest

Format - 10am-5pm 10 minute sessions
Cost - £55
Conditions - Either soaking wet or roasting hot and everything in between



Yesterday was a chance to try out my new traction bar & wheel alignment setup. It is really good 8-) grip during turn in is so much better!

Yesterdays weather couldn't decide what it wanted to do but I got a few dry runs in the afternoon. I was playing a game of cat and mouse with an R33 GTR but when it was his turn to be mouse I think his car broke :roll:

The first half of the vid is me in front of the GTR. He didn't have enough pace to get past me but when we hit some more traffic I let him past to see if he could get away from me. The second half of the vid is us over taking the rest of the pack. For once my vid has me overtaking stuff :lol: Check out the WTF EP3 near the end :?

@GJMHONDA2012 as the passenger.

And if are you are not bored already here is the vid of when Indigolemon came out in the car. Challenging wet and greasy conditions with a few lock-ups under braking. MX5 overtake at 6:10 ;) :lol:

Nice driving as always bud, but I've never felt so threatened by a washer jet before!

That is what I thought when I saw that EP3, fooked ARB. I didn't want to get that close to him as I thought it was quite scary.


Also continuing the circle of race car life I mashed my drivers wheel arch liner as it got caught underneath the car :evil: But Macaroon gave me a new one on my way home so at least that is sorted :lol:

Great driving @Merlin, great car too..

Loving the GTR not being able to get past you, then when you let him past and start catching him again he gives up as not wanting to be dicked by an NA Honda :lol: :lol:

...and then the alcoholic in the EP3 at the end :lol: :lol: :lol: amazing!

Awesome stuff Merlin 8-)
Love seeing a lude whip the ass of everything else out there! :D

:shock: That EP3 was majorly scarey jobby! If there was something wrong with the car, surely with it handling like that you'd back off and pull into the pits after the first couple of corners when you realised? So I'm wondering if the gentleman's sausage-head was deliberately trying to try it out to impress someone??? He sure was taking some strange lines into all the corners anyway, that was for sure!!! :? :o
