After all that Red Bull I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd post these.

Great racing again Mik. I was trying your setup this week - with some success. 👍 (Standard brakes and ABS off)

Thanks for the pics.

You seemed to handle the setup quite well, you guys are hardcore with the brakes!

Another good wee battle with the ever fair IfAndOr. Cracked under pressure entering the last lap...

Cracked under pressure entering the last lap...

It's that last corner! It caught me (and others) out a few times. See Gabe's smoking exit from the same corner above!
There were a couple of times I ended up facing the wrong direction and having a word with Mr Barrier.

Too much speed and too little grip (and too much adrenalin).

Hi mphile, I sent you an invite to our Mini Club. We run typically every Wednesday at 3:00EST, through a "Community Club" room.

Car specs and details are in the 1st posts in this thread.

Welcome!

We usually go for about 2 hours, and anyone can come and go as they please, so show up when you can even if for a couple of races.

High speed ring! Interesting and different. I haven't driven around there for ages. Certainly never used the pits - I'll have to find them in advance.

6th gear maybe Mik?

I'll have to scan all my available video devices, see if it's on. Do you know when and what time?

 

[Mr Gear]

We get MotorsTV it also calls its self the high speed television network.
Maybe online?

I saw that, I wish there was a "dislike" button!

I've been watching youtube clips of the race today, not enough Minis!

Ran some laps at high speed ring and was getting 1:21.7's, not sure if that's a good spot to be or not?

That's probably in the top, I was running low 1:22s, I'm still having a bit of trouble with that set of corners going into the tunnel, my half second to gain is there.

Also just to confirm, our specs do not allow turbos.

Yeah i read the specs, no turbo installed. I sent u a friend request so maybe i can find u guys if and when u practice.

 

[IfAndOr]

After a bit of tweaking of the gears (sorry Mik ), I've managed a 1.20.697

That last set of corners...

That, of course, wasn't the fastest run!

Oh yes, It sure is a long pit lane!

Cool, we typically will open a Club room at various times, of course any member of the club can also open a room from there any time they wish.

I've repainted my Mini to the same colour as the one I used in the video. It must be faster since I was third to Smiley and Dusty.
