Excellent, if very wet, day spent at Combe. The Panda was faultless and was by no means the slowest car present. Spent a lot of time trying different lines at Quarry and building confidence there.

I have a couple of videos, and will provide a link when they're uploaded. Quality and mounting position is appalling - sorry. If I find photos on the web I'll post those up too.

Nice one mate, I have taken my 100HP round castle combe and it is good fun. What gear was you leaving it in around the chicanes?

When i was on track i wasn't the slowest either, i was up behind a MG ZT 260 V8 for a good few laps, it couldn't pull away on the straights and had no chance in the corners.

Videos of exploits attached. Horrendous quality, sorry...

Chicanes are taken in third.

Good stuff, bet that mini pissed you off :bang:

Some nicely prepped minis but they were quite a lot slower than modern kit. That said, a couple of them were quick in a straight line and it was meant to be overtaking with consent only. Can be a bit frustrating, but those are the rules...

Who's consent?

Consent of the person in front (by indicating). Easy rule, but many people don't seem to understand it.

Yeh we had the same problem when we were in my mates civic type r, we were behind an evo 360, on the straights he was quicker but in the bends we'd catch up and we had to slow down because of it.

Luckily when I was at Combe in the 100HP if someone came up behind you or you came up behind
Someone then you just pull to one side. Maybe it was because there was less ego on track
