Should be possible to get under 9 mins, wasn't far off last year and i'm armed with ksports instead of wrx 4pots now

But i'm not going to go nuts out there, much rather enjoy the trip and keep the car in one piece!

[Skullfudge]

Agree.......... I had Neil sitting besides me on my first lap and its well worth it.

You should be in the 9's surely Steve ??

Neil estimated my first lap in the mid 9's and to be totally honest we were pottering about around many parts.

Thats down to your car being so fast on the straight bits.

Yours would be faster round the Ring Nige. On the straights I would edge past, but on the twisty bits I wouldn't even see you disappear....

[Skullfudge]

Nige.............. remember last year at The Ring when you and I went to fill up at that garage at the end of those real tight twisty lanes ?

Well I must admit your car did look impressive around the bends mate.

I have driven an Evo 7, 8 & 10 and they are better in the bends to the point you need to be pretty brave finding the limits unless on an RAF apron or similar.

I prefer Scoobz purely down to the raw feel and driver input required in the bends but I do understand why guys like the Evos as the trick electronics that sort out the bends are impressive and in your case makes a bloke who hasn't got a clue what he is doing in the driving seat look really good.

Fudge <--------- expecting a mouth full about the closing sentence

Ha! Ha! so funny. Hasnt that type r of yours got a diff controler then? Ive only in the last 3 weeks put the ecu back in that runs the ayc. So for the last 2 year's it was just an open diff nothing special. All the Scoobs you buy now have got trick diffs & the rest. So ive decided to join in.

Not a clue what your on about. If you were still with me i cant of been trying
<--------- expecting a mouth full about the closing sentence to!

Anyway im not into trivial matter's as to who can or cant do whatever. I will at some point be sat in a Vantage V12 just listening to pure unstressed performance. Now thats what i call 1st class. I want pics,vids & sound especially when i go in this. Errrrrmmm Gregs other car dont look to bad eighther dose it?

The lap i videoed last year was 9:12. 12 secs is a lot round there, but i know i was slow at the start of that lap so should be possible.

If it does go ahead, it'll be later in the year now mate.

If they have the same set up as last Sept. you won't get a good BTG a they bottle neck it at the start finish. Hope this is gone when we go :EVO:

What straights?

Exactly!


Although Ian may be on to something... It would have to be a closed circuit with no wind down though- and we have to start level. and I may need some semi-naked cheerleaders to distract him... Other than that Nige would be a shrinking dot somewhere on the horizon......

Your different Neil

Aston Martins are designed by people who know what there doing aerodynamicly & asthetically. Scoobs & Evo's hit a brick wall at about 170mph even with 500ish bhp. As there were desighned by some nipponise on a Friday morn. Your Aston with that beutifull V12 will just cruise at such a minimal mph. I shall wave at the rice boys as a gent should in these circumstance's.

[Jason73]

Just wondering if this is still happening?

[Steve_PPP]

No, not enough interest. Maybe we'll try and get one sorted later in the year with some of the shorter 20 minute taster sessions - might appeal to more people.
