With the snapped wishbone last week & this lucky escape tonight, the law of averages are (7) lifes left. I can vouch after a couple of laps to get rid of the stones the "Z" man was flying, constantly hitting 130mph on the straight & with new geometry setting after wish bone scenario really gripping the corners A Great night Alex as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Alex that everything is good All good mate, thanks just can't legislate for dropped fluids, took the marshalls 10 minutes to get me pulled from the gravel trap and 15 mins to get the track sorted with loads of cement dust applied on a 200 meter section of the track I am sure somebody will have a video It must have been quite spectacular the Zed and the GT3 pirouetting in tandum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Do you have any sort of cage on the car, Alex, or are you relying on the standard roll-over protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Do you have any sort of cage on the car, Alex, or are you relying on the standard roll-over protection? Been considering a cage for a while now mate but the roof gets in the way but perhaps a winter project. I just rely on the oem protection and my crappy driving However it does become quite dangerous when you collect dropped fluids and you travel sideways into the gravel.

SunsetZed Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Any new stone chips?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Any new stone chips?! I am sure that there are, it sounded like 20 machine guns had all gone off at once and the inside of the car is covered in gravel and chuckies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Why didn't any of the flag marshalls spot the fluids?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Why didn't any of the flag marshalls spot the fluids?? Because I was only 50 meters behind the car that dropped the fluid and it just happened immediately in front of me. unlucky or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
